Julia Roberts Wins Best Actress | 73rd Oscars (2001) 

Oscar Winner - Julia Roberts | Best Actress for 'Erin Brokovich' | #Shorts ►► ru-vid.comPfqMOIHPvYs

She has the one of the most beautiful smiles ever.

Ellen Burstyn's performance in Requiem For A Dream is memorable, even after the credits roll. It's brilliant.

In this Oscars ceremony, which ran for 3 hours and 23 minutes, a bonus was thrown in - a free television set for the shortest acceptance speech. Hence Julia's comment at 1:26 - "I *have* a television, so I'm going to spend some time here..."

Ellen Burstyn put her soul in Requiem For a Dream, I can't imagine how hard and challenging this role might be for her...I love Julia Roberts but I would love to see Ellen win the award.

I cried with her last words, not because I am sentimental but because above all they are true, genuine, spontaneous. This is not Julia speaking here, ladies and gentlemen, it is actually her soul.

Ellen Burstyn deserved it (let's be honest), but Julia's Oscar speech is still one of my favourites. She's so infectiously giddy and genuinely happy about it, without being weepy and melodramatic. "I love it up here!" I can imagine.

I can imagine how people got tired and bored after so many hours of ceremony, and then beautiful Julia comes out and shares her confused emotions and entertains them

4:20 When you just now realize that you've won an Academy Award...love that laugh, Julia!

Such a great speech. It was an amazing movie and this award was well deserved for her. Just wish she acknowledged Erin Brockovich herself in the speech...

This is probably the cutest most genuine acceptance speech ever in Academy Award history. Such a great personality, smile and positive spirit. I will always root for Julia Roberts.

Ellen Burstyn is a wonderful, perfect actress. She deserved that Oscar! A strong and exciting performance. Without a doubt the best of all!

Ellen Burstyn deserved this! Her performance in Requiem For A Dream was one of the most haunting performances in recent times!

Her dress is effortlessly BEAUTIFUL

I thought Julia deserved it until I saw Requiem for A Dream. Good Lord Ellen Burstyn put on such a great performance it's one of the many reasons I can only watch that movie once.

Ellen's performance was outstanding. I wish she could have won too. Her performance has stayed with me. So talented!!

Ellen Burstyn rocked my world in Requiem. How that movie can still make me shudder after all these years, wow!

I just watched requiem for a dream and I was so convinced that Ellen would have won the Oscar just with the performance. And I looked it up and found out that Julia won... I loved erin brokovich and I love Julia but omg Ellen deserved it....😭😭😭

Ellen Burstyn had won an Oscar for her performance in Alice doesn't live here anymore, but this is so unfair. Her performance in Requiem for a dream had me crying for 20 minutes.

I really like Julia's performance in Erin Brokovich, but Ellen Burstyn was mind blowing in Requiem for a Dream and imo should have gotten the Oscar.

ellen brought me to tears and made me feel so anxious, overwhelmed and sad in requiem. she deserved that oscar.

whatever other people talk about her or her speech, I love her and I love how she expresses her feeling the way it is.

I almost died laughing at the "stick man" comment! Man I LOVE Julia Roberts.

#JusticeForEllenBurstyn

I love how flustered she is during the speech. Haha, still crack up. She’s like all of us who have a hard time speaking in public.

That scream she let's out towards the end is sooooo awesome. Such a funny speech. You can see her personality on full display. Such an extrovert

4:23 I thought she was about to explode

Julia makes,me cry every time when I watch Steel Magnolias

Many awesome performances were ignored that year - Gillian Anderson ("The House of Mirth"), Nastassja Kinski ("The Magic of Marciano"), Kim Basinger ("I Dreamed of Africa"), Sandra Bullock ("28 Days")

this is how people should recieve their awards

She forgot to thank Erin Brokovich

Ellen Burstyn deserved that Oscar! Damn Academy! Now you understand why I do not watch Oscar ceremony anymore!

her laugh always makes me feel good. it sure cheers me up. haha

Best speech ever is when it comes from the heart.. And this is the one!

I love Julia Roberts, but that Oscar belonged to Ellen Burstyn for Requiem for a Dream!!!

loved Erin brockovich but Ellen Burstyn was robbed her performance in Requiem for a Dream was fucking amazing and haunting

4:22 to 4:24 I lived for that laugh... she just lost it in the best way possible

Rare moments when you don't see Meryl Streep in the nominations

Ellen burtyn's totally deserved , has amazing requiem for a dream.

jesus, ellen burstyn was absolutely robbed! her performance in requiem for a dream haunts me to this day, shame she didn't win

Still the cutest most heartfelt Oscar speech EVER! Love that laugh! She earned it!!

I used to think Ellen Burstyn should have won but when I saw Erin Brokovich I knew why she won... she was portraying a powerful woman who fought insurmountable odds to achieve victory.

I love Julia Roberts she’s amazing but that year the Oscar was for Ellen Burstyn she was totally robbed,I mean how can she not win?Her performance is brilliant just from another level.

There is just something about her and personality that just draws people and such a genuine smile and infectious laugh. Love her!

I love her, she is so natural and spontaneous!

I think her sudden burst of laughter and "I love it up here !" is right up there with Jean Dujardin exclaiming in french "Fu.. sh.. genius !" when winning. Such an overwhelming wave of happiness, and it felt so good to watch and feel it too !

Juliette Binoche and Julia Roberts have similar features. When the Oscar’s were talented and elegant .

This is one of the funniest Oscar speeches ever! "Stick man, I see you"

I'm not the biggest fan of Julia Roberts but I have to admit she blew me away with "Erin Brockovich"...very well deserved!

she is full of joy and excitement- must be one of the few actresses that pulled off such a fun speech instead of crying her eyes out.

Her smiles lifted everybody up and brighten up the room and my life!!! Love you so so much J.Roberts ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍❤️

Burstyn gave one of the most brilliantly and convincingly hysteric performances ever on film. And she probably deserved the win. I also loved Laura Linney's performance in You Can Count On Me. However, I can't begrudge Robert's win. It's a fantastic "movie star" performance built on charm, strength and screen presence, the type of performance we so rarely see nowadays. Blanchett is the only winner I would definitely put ahead of Roberts as far as winners in this category post 2000. And her performance would probably make my top ten Best Actress winners. So, while Ellen for me was more worthy, Roberts was hardly unworthy. There's some movies/performances that win that are truly unworthy. This wasn't one of them. Put aside whatever bias you have against Roberts and her work in other movies. Her performance in EB is great stuff and still holds up.

the fact that Ellen Burstyn didn't win this oscar is an insult to the humanity

She had one of the classiest hairstyles & dress in Oscar history

Came here after reading Mathew Perry's memoir.

Julia was great as Erin, but Ellen Burstyn was expectacular, she did a superb work. That must been Ellen's award

Julia Roberts was very good in Erin Brockovich but Ellen Burstyn gave one of the best female performances of the 2000s alongside Marion Cotillard, Charlize Theron and Cate Blanchett IMO. They could have at least put Burstyn into the Supporting Category and reward her if they really wanted to give Roberts an Oscar.

Requiem for a Dream brought me here

Ellen Burstyn is acting goddess.....and what she did in the movie was beyond excellence......she won that award for me ❤️❤️

Julia's speech is still one of the most beautiful, funny and cute speech an actress never made

Amazing actress! This movie inspires me to think positive and beat all odds.

She has one of the best laughs ever!! You can tell she truly was being so genuine and living in the moment and through all the emotions:) so happy she won all those years ago. And so happy I saw it live on tv

Look at how adorable devito was and still is

When Laura Linney finally gets her oscar that she has deserved multiple times, I will be the first to jump up screaming.

I loved Julia in Erin Brockovich, but I have to say Ellen deserved it. Requiem For a Dream was no joke and she really blew me away.

Ellen Burstyn got robbed of this award. Julia Roberts is a great actress and did great in Erin Brockovich, but Ellen Burstyn's role in Requiem for a Dream was absolutely astonishing.

Julia has the best warmest smile in Hollywood history. At this time of her career, she was truly stunning looking.

As much as I adore Julia Roberts and her role, Ellen Burstyn should have won the Oscar. Her role in Requiem for a Dream haunted me for the rest of my life. It is one of those performances that stick to your mind and you can never forget it.

Ellen Burstyn all the way. Her performance in Requiem for a Dream is electrifying

Favorite Oscar speech ever

I agree that Ellen Burstyn was absolutely robbed. Her performance stuck with me for a long time after watching the film, and I've only been able to watch it twice. Such a hard but rewarding film. Ellen is a true actress, very skilled.

I just think this is beautiful. All of you who say "so and so should have won" or "she's acting" should go find somewhere else to put your 2 cents in. Because this video is about a true and genuine soul being ecstatic and thankful and sharing that with everyone. Beautiful, beautiful soul. Beautiful acceptance.

Requiem for a Dream is such a powerful movie. Under nominated by the Academy. Some great roles done in the same year.

Smart and beautiful. An unstoppable combination.

I didn't realize Ellen Burstyn was nominated as well. I love Julia but damn, Ellen deserves that award, too!

Watch all the movies mentioned here. Burstyn and Roberts are both amazing. But Roberts as Erin is brilliant.

Thought Julia deserved it ... until I saw Ellen Burstyn in Requiem For A Dream. Geez. What a performance.

Ellen Burstyn should have won for Best Actress. But I also feel like they should have acknowledged Bjorks performance as well in "Dancer In The Dark" which was equally heartbreaking

One of the best oscars speech i've ever watched and heard😍love her so much

Ellen Burstyn's performance gave me goose bumps. This was truly one of her best roles and I can't believe she didn't win an Oscar for it. Anyone who has seen Requiem For a Dream knows that the talent Ellen Burstyn showed in that movie can't be compared with. She was robbed her Oscar!

Burstyn was amazing in Requiem, but I have a feeling that people prefer these type of performances - like an addict role - because they think it's harder to play these roles. And of course it's not easy to deliver such performance, but just imagine how difficult it can be to play a single mother of three, who has a big mouth, but other than that, there's nothing special, in the meaning of addiction, disability and such. Just a real, normal person. And that is a tough thing to do, to play that character so wonderfully that audiences will rememeber it, will actually notice it. And when you play a drug addict, that's already there, the audience already knows the most important thing about the character, so the actor actually has a head start IMO.

Ellen Burstyn deserves this Oscar until this day Her performance was unforgettable I'm still in shock about that finale. But Julia's movie I can't even remember what was even about, so forgettable.

I never saw any of the other performances but I will say this is my favorite winner speech by a mile!

Best smile on EARTH!!! She is the BEST :D

The best spontaneous and truthful speech... The face of happiness... No pretentions... Just the iconic Julia Roberts in her element and beauty...

Ellen Burstyn se merecía el Oscar por mucho!! Nose que paso ahi

Thats exactly how an oscar speech should be!!

LOOOOVE her speech and how she says: I have a television so I'm going to spend some time here to tell you some things jajajajajajaja. She is amazing and maybe she wasn't the best that year but she certeanly deserve the award itself

Ellen Burstyn was clearly robbed. How can we compare Ellen´s part with Julia´s? It´s just unbelievable!!

I read the comments here…what a waste…all who have said that Ellen Burstyn deserved the award. Who care what you believe. This is a video of the great Julia Roberts accepting the Oscar for an excellent acting performance.

Wow! I never knew she won against Ellen Burstyn in Requiem for a Dream. That is a great movie and Ellen is one of the best actresses ever.

She is so beautiful! I adore her!

She has the perfect personality that an actor should have... she is so amazing and deserves it so much!!

The best genuine reaction. Every oscar acceptance should just be spontaneous like this, it a show for entertainment --- just let it be. It so much joyous and lively. Scripted speech are boring

I was probably in school. But I still remember that beautiful gown of hers!!

Julia Roberts had to wait for a decade to get that award since her nomination for PW. I love her smile.

Ellen Burstyn should've won.

Bruh! Julia Roberts is great but my god Ellen Burstyn not winning is just a travesty.

Ellen is like “I knew it.” She was robbed.

That was one hell of a year for best actress... all fantastic performances. Loved that Julia won but Ellen Burstyn was simply terrific.
