FLASHBACK: Sidney Poitier Speaks After Winning Best Actor Academy Award In 1964 

Rest In Peace Mr. Poitier! You were such a dignified human being and one of my favorite actors.

My favorite film of his, To Sir with Love.

I was so excited to meet Sidney Poitier he was shooting a movie at Lincoln Center by the fountain and I got to sit in his director's chair and he said that's my seat my son it really feels good to sit in the chair of a winner and I got an autograph from him for my mother my mother's crazy about Sidney Poitier I live right across the street from Lincoln Center so I got an incredible music history

I love that I can still hear he's Bahamian.

Thank you sir for being a pioneer of black excellence in film 🎥 and thank you for opening many doors for black people ... you are such an inspiration to many to many around the world...may your soul rest in power.. much love and respect from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦

Love to see the old oscars. Awards!

I knew his cousin, P.K. Poitier. Resembled him quite a bit! Leaving the VFW one night I bought him 5 beers. Next week? "Please don't buy me 5 beers again. It's embarrassing" "Okay" So I bought him 20.

He was incredible.

My favorite Sydney Poitier movie is "Buck and the Preacher"!!

RIP to a great man.

He looks so natural and young in his age

Well, he lived to the ripe old age of 94.

Back when the Hollywood elite were adored rather than despicable...sigh...

He totally didn’t di3 from getting the jab.. nope! All these celebrities passing away is a total coincidence.. 🥸

I thought America was racist back then what happens
