Emma Thompson's Best Actress BAFTA for Sense & Sensibility 

They really should just give her all the awards just so she can make more speeches like this one

I love how genuinly happy kate is for Emma!

Only a one minute speech and yet she could manage to produce genuine laughter in the audience, that's called talent ❤️

Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Jeniffer Ehle. Beautiful and talented Jane Austen leads

How much can be said about Emma Thompson? She is one of the great human beings of her generation. It was really sad for the other actresses to have their clips followed hers. She is a wonder.

Thirteen years later and I still love sense and sensibility and absolutely LOVE Emma! She's just the best!

But it was highly impressive how Emma Thompson played a teenager in the movie so beautifully at 35 yrs of age

The clip they show of her performance in 'Sense & Sensibility' is one of my all-time favourite movie scenes; it's a brilliant monologue and a heart-wrenching emotional collapse compared to the rigidity and stoic nature of the character's role earlier in the film. And Emma Thompson just rocks... what a wit!

..The Winslet girl, whom I'm very fond of in spite of her youth, talent and beauty.. 🤣 Emma's sense of humour is on point ❤ I love their bonding 🔥

The winslet girl xD how much i love Emma...

you should see her golden globe speech for sense and sensibility. absolutely brilliant!!

She’s so funny and genuine! I love her💖

I must say out of the clips they showed she definitely did seem far better than the other nominees. I haven't seen any of the other films, but Emma Thompson is generally the best actress in just about any grouping anyway.

This has to be a first and to date only thing - She wins the BAFTA playing a part for which she won an Oscar for adapting. Fantastic. And her speeches are always delightful. Check out her Golden Globe speech when she won for Screenplay. It's a treat

I was only an infant when the movie came out and I just watched it a few days ago... I've already liked Emma Thompson and was impressed on her acting in the film, knowing that she actually won a best actress award made me nod and say "Yup, she deserved it!"

@AnneofPoland And Alan Rickmann and Hugh Grant, of course, who both had bigger trailers than me, which I am still slightly twisted about. But of course my principal thanks must go to Ang Lee, the director, even though he kept on coming up to me and saying things like "Don't look so old!" which was crushing. So thank you for lifting me out of the depression that that set me into. This is a great thrill and most unexpected honour and I am very grateful.

Emma is oustanding in every way.

This woman is wonderful. I adore her!

Mrs Jennings (Elizabeth Spriggs) and Sir John Middleton (Robert Hardy)'s scene in S & S in which they can't stop laughing is a fantastic. No matter how many times I've seen it - it just floors me. If you need cheering up at all - put on S & S and skip to the two of them musing about the mysterious EF. On the flip side - need a cry or you heart warming up... the wonderful moment where a recovered Marianne thanks Colonel Brandon ( the late great Alan Rickman) from her sick bed. His face when she finally acknowledges him. I'm gonna lose it typing this...

Gosh I never tire of watching this acceptance speech of Emma's nor any other. Pure brilliance! Emma is SO unbelievably funny! I absolutely ADORE her to bits! She's genuinely lovely in all countenance and spirit.

Did you see Jennifer Ehle at 3:01? It's so wonderful to see in te same video Jennifer, Emma and Kate: my favourite actresses and my favourite austenian characters

Second that. She has a knack with language. And people. And charm. Thanks for posting this.

@AnneofPoland Thank you BAFTA, very much indeed. That's totally unexpected and really wonderful. I'd like to thank the entire cast, even though they were all vile to me, cause I'd written it. And pricipally the Winslet-girl of whom I'm very fond in spite of her youth, talent and beauty. And obviously Hardy and Spriggs were very difficult cause they actually knew Jane Austen.

Saw Sense and S. in Poland when I was 19. Couldn't ever guess she's sooooio different then the character. Funniest woman in the world!🙂

Emma gives the greatest speeches!

She is simply the best.. I adore her... ❤

Emma Thompson is so funny here! And you should watch her speech for Best Script (Oscars)... It is so funny and intelligent, it shows how she knows deeply Jane Austen's world and words... Great actress!

Attrice e sceneggiatrice straordinaria

Great talent and I love her English accent

Emma thompson is amazing! Brilliant and so funny :)

Superb acceptance speechfrom ET - again.

“Hardy and Spriggs were very difficult, of course, because they actually knew Jane Austen…” 😂

wow, she's so funny! I lover her.

Awww Kate is so cute and nervous @3:37

nicole kidman was insanely good in to die for

its so *funny* when people who dont like her say she puts herself in the lead of her movies too often... firstly, w/this movie she didnt put herself in the lead, ang lee did - and in fact when she wrote it, she never wrote it for herself.. the only time she purposefully did it was for nanny mcphee and possibly for the movie she's working on now about an australian lesbian... but if she didn't do that one she'd have to find someone willing to, and that might be hard.. just putting it out there

Emma Thompsom, mi favorita, además es preciosa.

She is very funny! excelent actress!!

What did we do to deserve this woman?

This was BAFTAs before they changed their date of the ceremony,it used to be AFTER the Oscars..and usually by then everything was already done and said.......THEN a mastermind had the unusual idea of changing it BEFORE the Academy Awards and since then everything has been quite different and for good for the British academy,because nowadays their influence in whatever might happen with the Oscars,its vital!.

I

Young Emma and young Jeremy. Oh My God!

OMG that is awesome! I never noticed that until now! I love the both. Thanks for telling us! :)

Ooooh, Jeremy is a bonus there!

Anyone else noticed at 57 seconds Jennifer Saunders is behind Emma.

@msinvincible2000 The three of them are wonderful. I love Jennifer Ehle, great actress, and forever THE Elizabteh Bennet! :)

I remember seeing that speech and thinking how incredibly witty she is. Now, I cannot for the life of me, find it one youtube. Do you or does anyone know what I should type in?

Emma should wear here period costume and persona in real life forever.

Why didn’t Anthony Hopkins give her the award? It’s tradition

She was 37 years old in 1996 now she is 60

I agree with you completely, but can't help noticing that Fry could have easily said these words on a comedy show and had everyone in splits.

it looks like is ripped, but its a bolero jacket worn over a dress, so its just the jacket lifting when shes kisses Jeremy Irons, have a look at getty images, you will see its a jacket.

@caibutterfly1689: u absolutley right! Could you please tell me more about her new project. The Story about the australien lesbian? ;) Im from germany and its hard to hear something about Emma ;)

its star!!!

@cervaPL You are welcome! :)

who's the man introducing jeremy irons

Where's Susan Sarandon?

He says "your royal highness" as this is 96, was Diana there?

Susan Surandon wasn't even nominated? WTH. But I do love Emma Thompson in Sense and Sensibility.

No, Susan Surandon wasn't nominated. Neither was Susan Sarandon.

@jferkfjkj It's Sir Peter Ustinov

Where's Susan nomination on this?

How funny is she?!

This comment is just a laugh.

Nicole Kidman is an overrated actress
