Humphrey Bogart Wins Best Actor: 1952 Oscars 

Like 3 at least 😡

In many polls of greatest movie stars it's usually Bogie or Gable at # 1

He probably new his diagnosis and was fabulous, short, humble and full of character so interesting.

The thirties and forties were a period when there so many great actors. Tracy, Cooper, Stewart, Gable, Fonda, Grant, Tyrone Power, Ronald Colman, etc and etc. It's a shame that only one can win in each year. Look how long it took for Henry Fonda to be recognized by the Academy.

Unreal. he should have so many

I so admire him!!

She was in bed with Sinatra...lol

Why not televised? There was tv in USA back then. Atleast it was filmed and shown in the cinemas 100%

@@bambi274 At the time, in the USA, it was the cold war between film studios and TV broadcasters. They put aside their differences in 1953 for their mutual profit $$$.

@@fenrislegacy oh ok. Thank u

He should have got for In a Lonely Place.

totally agree with that. there aren't many who can beat Bogart. But, as usual, the academy awards make strange choices…..

Casablanca wasn't particularly great acting, just a star-power movie.

@@steveconn say what you will, but when a movie made nearly 80 years ago is still considered by many to be the greatest romance film ever made, star power or not, it is Bogie's signature piece.

@@steveconn He didn t win the Academy Award for Casablanca. He won it for The African Queen.

there are still talented actors with class in hollywood

Yes but very few.

Oh, there was smut. The studio bosses of that era covered up as much of it as they could.

Exactly what I was thinking. Frederic March in Death of a Salesman was no slouch either.

Yeah. Damn.

African Queen is legendary also .

@@rberka555 March already had 2 so I think it was really between Brando and Bogie!

Totally agree A lot of politics involved as in today

Bogart was so natural I can't praise him enough

Bogart was a great actor, but John Wayne was terrible. Not every old times actors are good.

@@ImNotADeeJay wrong , dork

@@ImNotADeeJay calm down the Duke was horrible!!!!!? Are you serious about the Duke playing in the best westerns and won an OSCAR and he is one of the best actors of all time chill dude chill think about it!!!

Unbelievable that he died only 5 years after winning the Oscar for *the African Queen* !

@@jordanabeaulieu2530 who killed him ?

Yeah, Bogey was huge back then IMO one of the best actors ever if maybe the best I love all of his movies and AQ of course what a dude he was RIP! 🤔

Because these days theyre not actors, and Oscars are not Oscars...all a scam...no art. Movies are made in Hollywood to sell in Asia where population is 4 BILLION, and thanks to 1% greedy manufacturers, those have the cash to buy tickets and ways to watch movies, no longer fit to be called ART OF THE CINEMA.

@Tropic Lightning Someone send this video to Joaquin Phoenix, and show him how a real man accepts an award. With humilty and dignity. And keeping things fuckn relevant!!!

@Tropic Lightning oh God how dare celebrities use their platforms to bring awareness to issues they care about. The HORROR of it all lmao.

@Tropic Lightning what's wrong with people pointing out causes they support? Winning an oscar is one of the greatest thing a film artists can win, it's one in a million chance in an already one in a million career field.

Ms. Garson has a sense of humour just as exquisite as her sense of style. I cannot help but crack everytime I hear her go "Its hardly the time to be wordy..."

EmpressOfWyoming58 I don't know, its kinda eh to me. Looks like a prom dress.

EmpressOfWyoming58. When it was worth wacthin

Yup, Greer was one classy human being. All she did for the College of Santa Fe really helped that institution get off the ground.

Who cares Bogart won!

Alex Smuckler no scandals? Battling Bogarts were TOTALLY a scandal

I love Bogie but the best actor ever ? Eh, not quite. Spencer Tracy ran circles around him.

Brando was and is the greatest actor who has ever lived

That was his first wife. His marriage with Lauren Bacall was very loving and harmonious.

Alex Smuckler based on what I’ve seen I’d say Clancy Brown is a better actor than Humphrey Bogart, mainly because I’ve seen he can be more engaging in more roles

+Michael Conrad I know, right? Clift probably would have gotten my vote for A Place in the Sun, but you can't really object to Bogart or to Brando either if it had gone that way. I wish to hell somebody would dig up Fredric March's version of Willie Loman. It's never shown anywhere. I'd really like to see it before I die but it seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

All good movies, I have them all. Must really have been hard for the judges to decide.

Fredric March's Death Of A Salesman is on youtube!

I love Bogie but no way in hell was he better than Monty Clift in A Place in The Sun.

In my opinion The Big Sleep is still a bit underestimated. Maybe because of confused plot

I liked The Treasure Serra Madra , The Caine Mutiny and African Queen But my favorite actor is Gary Cooper Second is Kurt Russell But I like just about everyone back then in the past William Holden Gregory Peck John Wayne Just to mention a few I should probably make a list of who I didn't like , it would be much shorter

Have you noticed how the actors from the earlier years all had a certain something or distinctive feature that sets them apart from everybody else. Like Humphrey Bogart, Bette Davis, James Cagney, John Wayne or Cary Grant and there are others as well. Most of today actors don't stand out from other actors as they don't have a certain thing that makes you remember them or the movies they were in.

@@thorragnorok4281 You are right, todays actors have not the star quality as they did from the beginning of Hollywood to the 1950:s.

​@@jimthomas1989John Wayne, best cowboy.

Truth Indeed

Yeah the "glamorous" 1950s with its rampant sexual assault behind closed doors and not to mention the extreme racial inequality in the country. So glamorous. Hollywood was just as sleazy then as it is today.

The casting couch ......

You didn't hear much about mass shootings in those days.

@@iangoodman2228 One can miss the good things without also wanting the bad. And there were many, many good things we have lost from that era which it is certainly appropriate to wish we had back today. Despite what you say, there absolutely was a level of class and sophistication that no longer exists in an era when one doesn't have to do anything to be famous except make a sex tape. Noticing what we have lost from those times and wishing we had it back does not at all imply we must yearn for the package in its entirety, as any rational person understands.

There isn't anyone cooler than Bogus. More cool, the man loved his wife profoundly.

+bottlebrusher We Taureans are down to earth :)

hi bottle brusher-please don't be too hard on the late Legend....reminder----the throat cancer that would take his life was perhaps starting to manifest then ....maybe that is why he had trouble holding that Oscar up...how much do those things weigh, anyway???....Cancer slowly robs one of strength, it is known,and as I view this classic,extremely rare footage of this LEGEND,I can see the difference in his face,the slightly sunken cheeks,the thinning hair on top..signs of early cancer,his walk as well. Smoking those unfiltered cigarettes(and you know he inhaled-just watch his films,like inhaling a mini-cigar(YUCK!!),combined with drinking the hard booze(PUKEY) ---ANY tobacco use combined with any alcohol consumption---Does create cancer cells within the body ( got that from a hospital brochure).....He passed away from throat cancer in 1956...so..give the guy a break, please....He was just born in the wrong era...if He could have only known ,if they all could have known then what we know now about the connection between tobacco and alcohol(either one by themselves will kill you,but when combined,you'll die faster ,and with more Pain),maybe some of these folks could have lived longer,...knowledge IS power,people....Rest In Peace,Mr. Bogart dear Sir...Gone(for now) but Never Forgotten;as well as all the others Rest In Peace, all.... Mrs Bogart , Miss Garson, Mr. Kaye,all of them....Ye shall all awaken one Sweet Day...until then.......peace...(§) :>)

I fell in love with his work while in college. I took a class in "Topics in Film" study and my professor played a lot of Humphrey Bogart movies. After the semester ended, I happily ordered most of his movies via Amazon.com. He is missed by many. 💞

while he wasnt a big fan of going out ..cause he spent every minute he could on his boat...bogart CERTAINLY DID want to win that award and cared very much

James Cagney had a similar situation where his only Oscar win was for the musical Yankee Doodle Dandy. Yet it was cool to see them both win for roles that would show they were capable of playing a different kind of character. For Bogart he became a Cockney cargo boat captain in WWI who at turns was drunk, cowardly, brave, resourceful, tender, and funny. Cagney would play real life entertainer and composer George M. Cohan and actually sang and danced, skills that were probably a surprise to moviegoers at the time. A favorite clip for many today is seeing Cagney tap dance his way down a large flight of stairs as an older Cohan.

Oh Yes! TRUTH INDEED AMEN 🙏 SIP to both Amaaz8ng,Great Actors

Bingo!!

Ardeshir Aria a

He'd be almost 120

I loved Mr Bogart but have to admit Marlon Brando was absolutely GREAT in

Celluloidwatcher it was probably a cinema newsreel, the quality is great.

The entire 1952 Oscar ceremony was not filmed in color, or for that matter, neither in its entirety in b&w. Just particular segments featuring the major awards, such as Bogart's in this color clip, which is an example of that era's color or black & white newsreels summarizing world events, with an off camera narrator describing the particular occasion, and which were shown nationwide on a weekly or semi-weekly basis in movie theatres before the " main feature ". Up until 1953, the Oscar ceremony was broadcast on coast to coast radio. " The 25th Academy Awards ceremony was held on March 19, 1953. It took place at the RKO Pantages Theatre in Hollywood, and the NBC International Theatre in New York City. It was the first Academy Awards ceremony to be televised, and the first ceremony to be held in Hollywood and New York City simultaneously. "

"Not an easy day to forget. I remember every detail. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue." I definitely would've worn blue to that Academy Awards ceremony.

Loved Casablanca, still watch when it comes on.. 2021. Here's looking at you 👶babe

Not exactly a crappy year for serious cinema.

indeed!

Not possible. Times have changed. Welcome to shitbag 21st century.

Nope, if America keep up with they way it is then them ol' days shall be as ONLY A DREAM. *We must get back to our roots*

John wayne: a racist. Charlton Heston: a bad actor and a gun-totin' republican. Humphrey Bogart: a chain smoking adulterer. Katherine Hepburn: a closet lesbian.

@@kevinwilson3609 What the hell is the matter with being a gun toting Republican or a Lesbian ?

@@ricardocantoral7672 nothing wrong with a lesbian but nothing worse than a gun totin' Republican. The point is that the OP longs for stars from the past as if they were someone more classy but we all know they had their share of problems

The Caine Mutiny too was great. Awesome actor.

@@donaldsheeley2999 PlPl

@@donaldsheeley2999 Should have won it for CM.

I love to watch Bogie classic dance move with Ingrid Bergman in the movie "Casablanca". George Raft declined the offer to play in that film.

@@nicoletanis3703 Bogart was so natural I can't praise him enough.

filmed in Technicolor not video! actual film!

+JSOMERSET994 JSOMERSET994 what's the difference between video and film?

Frame rate, latitude, depth .... basically, it don't come cheap.

@@venaacavaa Film is tiny little pictures one after the other formed within a soup of light-sensitive chemicals supported by a plastic base. Generally 24 little pictures (frames) per second, visible to the naked eye after development. Video is an electronic signal, either analog or digital. Film was always high quality, video has just barely gotten in the same league as film recently. Film even today can still be higher quality.

@@MrMahn21 omg, thank you for the answear! But I dont think I understood it entirely :D

Bogart was so natural I can't praise him enough

I could "RAP" about that all day!

He was a well educated.

Actors back then were trained in what was called mid Atlantic English, so a wider audience could understand them.

I am a non native speaker, and it is way easier to me to understand those mid century speeches than current ones. I can watch a classic movie without captions easily, but modern movies, without the aid of captions I'd miss 2/3 of what they say.

@Unkraut60 you mean southern accent? Ebonics is mainly based on southern accent

Yep, Mr. Howard refused the movie role til they accepted Bogart for the role in the movie though he (Bogart) had played the role in the live play. Now that is a true friend.

The mindless and the dumb.

@AGZ all but one film made $100,000,000 this year (2020) that were nominated for Best Picture so math disproves the original poster's comment

2019 was amazing year for movies. Once upon a time in hollywood, 1917, parasite, marriage story, joker, the irishman. Older movies are equally as good as the newer ones

They must have been filming this while it was also being televised live.

Clift, Kennedy and March too, amazing year..

+Jonathan Wilkinson indeed !

Bogie thought Brando was talented but also thought he spoke as if he had a potato in his mouth. Brando scolded him and said that Bogie always played himself.

Not that year. Bogart was brilliant in The African Queen...

Ricardo Cantoral I thought his transformation in The Treasure of Sierra Madre was outstanding though

Agree with you. What a character Charlie was. Made for him.

davidallenroth Amen to that.

The big sleep

Those were golden times in Hollywood. Such great talent and great people with class, manners, wit and charm, not to mention great beauty. Oh for those good old days.

So you would give anything to be an alcoholic and a coke addict? Because that's what they were. Their glamorized image of "classiness" was all fake.

He was great in the Caine Mutiny but I think his greatest performance was in the Treasure of the Sierra Madre (which he didn't even get an Oscar nomination for).

Katharine, not Kathryn.

Katherine Hepburn could probably get a tree nominated by acting near it

Sad he died and he was a kafir

Bogie did not 'choose' his way of death. People were unaware then that cigarettes were responsible for all sorts of illnesses. Anyhow if he enjoyed smoking, good for him, but he did not deserve such a cruel death.

Bogart was so natural I can't praise him enough.

I share your thoughts on this

And one of the few actors you'd like to hear More from!

DivineSimply Nearly anything in excess is bad for you. Bogart smoked almost non-stop, which also took a toll on Bacall's face, lol. Chain smoking and drinking are a deadly combination, even in those without high risk genes. All the other people of this time smoked and quite a few lived to their 90s, even beyond.

hi divinesimply ... this was 1952...he died in 1956 ...that is only four years, not five ,...cancer took the man rather quickly,remember...they didn't have the treatments we have today ,...throat cancer back then was pretty much a death sentence...only four short years after this was recorded, he was dead...the cancer was starting to show then ...look at the change from this(1952) to his last film"The Harder They Fall" I think his last(1955-56(?)....the difference in appearance....poor man ,and Dear Lauren even took a hiatus from her career to care for him ,be with him, to the o-so tragic end.... Bless Her Heart...Bless Them Both.....They had True Love....how fortunate they were...THAT IS REAL LOVE....take comfort people that are together in the Great Beyond....Happy that they no longer have to miss each other....they walk arm - in- arm in Spirit they are together,free of all pain....and shall be restored to life one sweet day....so we wait...patiently...until then....peace...(§). :>)

Bogart died on January 14, 1957. The best ever.
