Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins presenting Sofia Coppola with the Oscar® for Best Original Screenplay for "Lost in Translation" at the 76th Annual Academy Awards® in 2004.
1:56 She thanked Wong Kar-Wai. If you don't know or haven't seen his masterpiece film "In The Mood For Love", you MUST. It's easily seen how much inspiration Sofia took to make a subtle, romantic mood between characters with very distinct visuals/colors.
Look at how happy her dad is for her, he's the first one up clapping, it's very nice to see. Wonderful work, Miss Sofia Coppola, for what I think is your best film yet.
This is, hands down, one of the modern masterpieces. The screenplay, Coppola's directing and Murray and Johansson's acting are phenomenal. It's a very subtle, esoteric and calm work of art that deserved to win more Oscars. It's a pity it had to face The Return of the King, since that film was the definition of epic and swept all the awards. But thankfully, Lost in Translation has become a classic.
Hell Naw! Peter Jackson deserved it and he won it for LOTR: The Return of the King. Dude had to be recognised for the greatest trilogy of movies ever made
A well deserved Oscar. Lost In Translation isn't for everyone, (As I can tell by a lot of people thinking it's boring) but I always found the film very captivating with the dialogue driven scenes, so I'm glad she won. I recently took a vacation in Tokyo and I happened to stay in the Park Hyatt hotel, the same hotel the movie was shot in.
Sofia has had to put up with considerable criticisms related to nepotism. Whilst she deserved it for Godfather Part 3 where she was clearly way out of her depth, she has since proven herself to be something of value to cinema. Well done.
+alexxxandder Hmm I don't know. I feel most of her films rely more on the actors than the script she writes or the direction she gives for the films. Lost in Translation for example had little interesting dialog, or cinematography, and relied heavily on the emotions portrayed by the actors with the limited dialog they had. I feel the nepotist attitude still holds weight.
"Lost in Translation for example had little interesting dialog" It's a movie which is 90% just two people talking with no dramatic events and it's still a great movie, you can't do that unless the writing's exceptional no matter how good the actors are
@@adrienpechalrieu I watched the movie paying full attention to every detail because I love the actors and I thought a woman director like Coppola could move the audience with her own sensitivity but I was quite disappointed. In my opinion there is nothing really happening in the movie apart from the relationship between the two, that actually made me hope for something "bigger" but even the way the relationship is narrated was banal to me. It can be a movie about two people who feel lost, but if the movie can't move the audience and make them feel something than what's the point? Then of course everyone has their own opinion
Also editing, especially sound. So subtle, yet present. And I don't know, but there's also the make-up and costume design. Again, all very subtle, but still making up the feel and overall color of the " film "
***** No, I said if the Redeemer award existed. The razzies didn't have that category yet back when she won her Oscar. But if it had, she woulda gotten it. That's what I meant
A Masterpiece.... My second favorite movie of all time (Fight Club) Lost in Translation an unbelievable film about culture, situational humor, alienation, loneliness, and an examination of the layers to intimacy. Murray and Scarlett both gave us perfection. Thank you Sofia Coppola seriously thank you
She is adorable. I love the moment at the end when her dad gets really excited and claps a bit before everyone else. He's thinking "She nails the speech! GOAL!"
If that's the 'most important question' you have about Susan Sarandon after seeing that, it really says something about you. That's not even in my top 30 questions.
The family that sticks together - such a talented bunch! Dad Francis, Mum Eleanor, brother Roman, cousin Nic & Sofia of course! And so many moe of the Coppola! Lovely how they are all supportive of each other! ❤🎭
+Lewis Cranston Films I know it's her cousin and that Nic Cage is a Coppola...I just enjoy his enthusiasm for his cousin which he does in his own Nic Cage way :D
Gladly. So I'll start by saying, Bill Murray was fantastic in Lost in Translation. His subtle melancholy set the tone for the movie, and it was brilliantly executed. I'm glad that if he were nominated for any role, its that one, and I'll say he was the runner-up that year. That being said, Sean Penn had the much more challenging role in my opinion. His complex character was forced to undergo a variety of traumatic situations, and Sean Penn conveyed this trauma with such passion, poise, and authenticity. It's honestly one of the strongest performances I've in the last 17 years. Again...my opinion
I LOVE Sofia Coppola, especially for her latest work "Priscilla" - also I LOVED "Finding Nemo" as a kid! I would watch the movie every month with my family. Such nostalgia!
Very true. She's on a history-making journey either way. The Cannes win made her only the 2nd woman ever (and the first American woman) to win Directing at Cannes. Prior to that, she became the first American Woman to win the Golden Lion (for SOMEWHERE). For this particular film (LOST IN TRANSLATION), she became the first American woman to be nominated for Directing, and earning a unique place in Oscar history thanks to this win: part of the only parent-child pair to win this category (Francis Ford Coppola won 5 Oscars, including Original Screenplay for PATTON); part of a couple to both win this category (she was married to Spike Jonze, Original Screenplay winner for HER); and (as mentioned by the announcer) part of a 3-generation winning family.
interesting speech because she thanks great filmakers of another countries who inspired her. Sometimes i had the sensation people in America thinks great cinema is only in their country
i love how her family was there supporting her!! it's like when you have you're first elementary school play or awards and they're all there to embarass you haha so proud :)
@Sharon Jensen I don't know if that's true because you could equally say those who can't write, act (eg Eddie Murphy, Vin Diesel, Gary Oldman, Clint Eastwood, etc). Besides, there are plenty of great writers who can act like Tina Fey, Matt Damon, Jon Favreau, Ben Stiller, etc
Loved Lost in Translation! A masterpiece! Sofia is a great filmmaker and hope, she continues to make more films! Some people are better behind the camera than in front!
I made my presentation of Sofia Coppola in our Film Studies course because I truly admire her :-) She is amazing and such a rolemodel. Love you Sofia xo
Sofia Coppola is amazing! Lost In Translation very much reflected many peoples lives and it was a very riveting film. Thank you, Sofia...Someone knows the experience! :)
Actually, if you count cousins as part of a family, her family already was a 3-generation Oscar winning one (her cousin Nicholas Cage already had won one back in 1995 as an actor)
@@debanjali What? Francis won his first oscar back in the 70s, then his father Carmine Coppola won an oscar for the music in one of the Godfathers if I recall correct. So Nic/Sofia would the third generation in that case
That last time must have put her through so much judgement, including mine, till I watched her movies and realised how good they are and she does a really great job and that is what matters.
