Hello, I'm Greg Gumbel.

we will follow this bill

182
00:10:17,583 --> 00:10:18,673
Wow.
183

Wow.
184
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:27,420
It's been like this all day.
185
00:10:28,250 --> 00:10:29,920
I just wanna say,
welcome to the show.
186
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,130
Now, I understand you're
originally from the East Coast,

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
189
00:10:41,417 --> 00:10:42,577
All right.
190
00:10:42,667 --> 00:10:45,167
I know you just flew in from LA.
just to do this show,
191
00:10:45,250 --> 00:10:48,000
so I really appreciate it.
Now, how was your flight?
192
00:10:48,083 --> 00:10:49,713
Actually Chris,
it was kind of bumpy,
193
00:10:49,792 --> 00:10:51,382
-you know--
-AUDIENCE MEMBER: All right!
194
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,250
When we finally landed,
195
00:10:54,333 --> 00:10:56,673
I'd never been so glad
to see New York in my life.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
197
00:11:08,083 --> 00:11:10,333
So, you and your family
still live in New Jersey?
198
00:11:10,417 --> 00:11:12,207
Yeah, born and raised
in New Jersey.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
200
00:11:21,792 --> 00:11:23,752
Well, you just got married,
didn't ya'?
201
00:11:23,833 --> 00:11:26,173
Yeah, about three months ago.
202
00:11:29,625 --> 00:11:31,205
As I mentioned
in your intro,
203
00:11:31,292 --> 00:11:34,332
most people saw you first
in Good Times.
204
00:11:34,417 --> 00:11:38,627
Now, I love Good Times so much,
I brought my own clip.
205
00:11:38,708 --> 00:11:41,828
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
206
00:11:43,708 --> 00:11:45,128
Which episode did you bring?
207
00:11:45,208 --> 00:11:46,498
I brought an episode
208
00:11:46,583 --> 00:11:48,753
where you had a hard time
finding a job.
209
00:11:51,250 --> 00:11:52,880
That could be any episode.
210
00:11:55,917 --> 00:11:57,327
Let's take a look at this.
211
00:11:59,250 --> 00:12:00,670
What's the problem, Thelma?
212
00:12:00,750 --> 00:12:02,880
Well, Daddy, J.J. and I
are gonna be
213
00:12:02,958 --> 00:12:04,998
graduating from high school
this year,
214
00:12:05,083 --> 00:12:07,083
but we don't know
what to head for.
215
00:12:07,167 --> 00:12:10,207
I don't know whether to study
to become a teacher, or a nurse,
216
00:12:10,292 --> 00:12:13,882
or maybe a professional dancer.
What do you think, Daddy?
217
00:12:13,958 --> 00:12:15,378
I can tell you
right from the jump,
218
00:12:15,458 --> 00:12:17,788
that dancing sounds like
a long shot to me.
219
00:12:17,875 --> 00:12:20,165
You gonna need something solid
to fall back on.
220
00:12:20,250 --> 00:12:21,830
Now, nursing
or teaching sounds good,
221
00:12:21,917 --> 00:12:24,457
but, Thelma, you got the brains
to go on and be a doctor.
222
00:12:25,167 --> 00:12:27,457
-Oh, thank you, Daddy.
-Mm-hmm.
223
00:12:27,542 --> 00:12:30,132
I was confused, but I knew
you'd straighten me out.
224
00:12:30,208 --> 00:12:34,128
-No problem, baby girl.
-(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
225
00:12:43,875 --> 00:12:48,125
Oh, man, it still holds up.
I mean, that was brilliant.
226
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,420
Well, thanks, Chris.
227
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:51,330
Well, you know,
that was 20 years ago.
228
00:12:51,417 --> 00:12:54,497
These days, I consider myself
a more serious actor.
229
00:12:54,583 --> 00:12:56,753
-Of course--
-(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
230
00:12:57,958 --> 00:13:00,498
Consider yourself?
You are a more serious actor.
231

I mean, Roots, Die Hard 2,Coming to America.

And also, on February 28th
through March 1st,
234
00:13:12,750 --> 00:13:14,630
you're gonna be doing
a one-man show
235
00:13:14,708 --> 00:13:16,918

you were a bit--
239
00:13:27,875 --> 00:13:29,625
I always thought you were
underused as an actor.
240
00:13:29,708 --> 00:13:33,998
I mean, it's obvious that women
are very attracted to you.

One of my favorite--
It just seemed like
243
00:13:41,750 --> 00:13:44,210
you should have been
in more romantic roles.
244
00:13:44,042 --> 00:13:46,542
One of my favorite movies
was When Harry Met Sally.
245
00:13:46,625 --> 00:13:48,625
And I always thought
you would've been perfect...
246
00:13:48,708 --> 00:13:50,418

an hour and a half

it's New Year's Eve.

Hello, I'm Eartha Kitt.
277
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,710
In 1974, the American
Broadcasting Company
278
00:15:17,792 --> 00:15:22,082
began production of a movie that
defined terror for a generation.
279
00:15:22,167 --> 00:15:24,327
And because it had
three short parts,
280
00:15:24,417 --> 00:15:27,667
it came to be known
as Trilogy of Terror,
281
00:15:27,750 --> 00:15:30,750
each part telling the story
of a different woman
282
00:15:30,833 --> 00:15:33,963
terrorized by things
that go bump in the night.
283
00:15:34,042 --> 00:15:36,332
Amazingly, all threeof these women
284
00:15:36,417 --> 00:15:38,537
were played by one actress.
285
00:15:39,042 --> 00:15:40,922

and this year
there were two Black nominees.
290

Now, last year
there was only one,
291

so that's 100 percent increase.

this year's Oscar nominations.
301
00:16:23,875 --> 00:16:26,665
This year, for Best Picture
you had The English Patient,
302
00:16:26,750 --> 00:16:30,210
Shine, Secrets and Lies,Fargo, Jerry Maguire.
303
00:16:30,042 --> 00:16:31,132
What did you like?
304
00:16:31,208 --> 00:16:32,958
Yeah, Chris,
those were all good movies,
305
00:16:33,042 --> 00:16:36,792
but how dare they pick
Jerry Maguire over Kazaam?

00:16:36,875 --> 00:16:39,785
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
307
00:16:39,875 --> 00:16:43,875
Excuse me, did you just say
Kazaam over Jerry Maguire?
308
00:16:43,958 --> 00:16:45,078
Yeah, yeah, Chris.
309
00:16:45,167 --> 00:16:48,997
Chris, I picked it
because it was positive, okay?
310
00:16:49,083 --> 00:16:53,083
It was great seeing
a positive Black genie,
311
00:16:53,167 --> 00:16:55,377
-not selling drugs.
-Yeah.
312
00:16:57,250 --> 00:16:58,790
-Positive?
-RICHIE BANKS: Yes.
313
00:16:58,875 --> 00:17:00,625
First of all,
Kazaam was a movie
314
00:17:00,708 --> 00:17:02,918
about the biggest brother
on the planet
315
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,830
being a slave
to a little white boy.
316
00:17:06,042 --> 00:17:08,582
And second of all,
the brother came out of a radio.
317
00:17:08,667 --> 00:17:10,247
What kind of racist shit
is that?
318
00:17:10,333 --> 00:17:13,213
Why didn't they just make him
come out of a bottle of Colt 45?

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
320
00:17:19,042 --> 00:17:21,002
What about Fargo,
did you like that?
321
00:17:21,083 --> 00:17:23,383
Again, Fargo is
not a bad little film.
322
00:17:23,458 --> 00:17:26,288
But the Coen brothers
cannot touch the Wayan brothers
323
00:17:26,375 --> 00:17:27,915
for genius, hardly.
324
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,460
Or for brothers.
325
00:17:29,542 --> 00:17:31,252
There's way more
Wayans than Coens.
326
00:17:33,208 --> 00:17:35,458
Hell, there's more
Isley Brothers than Coen brothers.
327
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,750
I mean, though,
that's besides the point.
328
00:17:38,833 --> 00:17:41,213
I mean, there's just so many
good Black movies out this year.
329
00:17:41,042 --> 00:17:43,792
We had Fled,The Rich Man's Wife,Drop Squad,
330
00:17:43,875 --> 00:17:45,915
-and again, Kazaam.-Kazaam.
331
00:17:47,042 --> 00:17:49,002
Come on guys,
you can't like everything
332
00:17:49,083 --> 00:17:50,673
just 'cause
Black people are in it.

Well, you see Chris,
you should understand
336
00:18:01,542 --> 00:18:03,752
that it's important
to support Black films.
337
00:18:03,833 --> 00:18:05,793
I mean, white people
don't talk about Pauly Shore.
338
00:18:05,875 --> 00:18:09,165
-That's right.
-Yes, they do, all the time.
339
00:18:09,250 --> 00:18:11,790
Shit, Pauly Shore gonna rent
a movie and get a bad review.
340
00:18:13,583 --> 00:18:15,713
Now, what's your pick
for Best Picture?
341
00:18:15,792 --> 00:18:18,672
All right, Chris, the best movie
of the year was Solo
342
00:18:18,750 --> 00:18:20,130
with Mario Van Peebles.
343
00:18:20,208 --> 00:18:21,958
Yes, absolutely.
344
00:18:22,042 --> 00:18:25,212
You picked Solo
over Jerry Maguire?
345
00:18:25,292 --> 00:18:28,422
It was a very positive movie.
346
00:18:30,042 --> 00:18:33,712
It was good seeing a positive
Black robot not selling drugs,
347
00:18:33,792 --> 00:18:36,252
being a role model
in the community.
348
00:18:36,333 --> 00:18:39,673
Come on guys, Solo
over Jerry Maguire?
349
00:18:39,750 --> 00:18:41,500
You picked it
'cause it was positive?
350
00:18:41,583 --> 00:18:44,543
Solo was so bad, they didn't
even make bootlegs of it.
351
00:18:44,625 --> 00:18:47,075
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
352
00:18:50,375 --> 00:18:53,375
-Which is a positive thing.
-Which is a positive thing.
353
00:18:53,458 --> 00:18:55,248
All right, who'd you choose
for Best Actress?
354
00:18:55,333 --> 00:18:59,083
All right, all right.
Queen Latifah for Set It Off.
355
00:18:59,792 --> 00:19:02,332
-Come on. Yeah.
-Yeah.
356
00:19:05,125 --> 00:19:07,785
-For the Oscar?
-Yeah.
357
00:19:07,875 --> 00:19:10,325
I mean, what was positive
about Queen Latifah?
358
00:19:10,417 --> 00:19:11,707
She was a bank robber.
359
00:19:11,792 --> 00:19:14,002
She was a positive bank robber,
360
00:19:15,083 --> 00:19:17,133
trying to get fishnets
for her lesbian lover.
361
00:19:17,208 --> 00:19:19,878
You've gotta like that,
you gotta like that.
362
00:19:19,958 --> 00:19:21,878
-Yes.
-Yes.
363
00:19:21,958 --> 00:19:25,498
And if not her, our sleeper pick
is Arnelle Simpson
364
00:19:25,583 --> 00:19:29,043
from the R. Kelly video
"You Remind Me of My Jeep."
365
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:31,960
But wait a minute,
wait a minute.
366
00:19:32,042 --> 00:19:34,042
That's not even a movie,
that's a video.
367
00:19:34,125 --> 00:19:36,995
You can't nominate a video
just 'cause it's shot on film.
368
00:19:37,083 --> 00:19:40,043
Okay, who did
you pick for Best Actor?
369
00:19:40,125 --> 00:19:42,535
All right,
that fine comic actor
370
00:19:42,625 --> 00:19:45,495
from A Thin LineBetween Love and Hate,
371
00:19:45,583 --> 00:19:48,213
-Bobby Brown. Yes.
-Bobby Brown.
372
00:19:48,292 --> 00:19:51,792
Okay. I want to see you guys
at the Oscar boycott.
373
00:19:51,875 --> 00:19:53,825
Hey folks,
I want you to watch this.

Hello, I'm Stanley Crouch.
376
00:20:10,083 --> 00:20:12,833
In 1901,
Henry Ford made important use
377
00:20:12,917 --> 00:20:13,997
of the assembly line.
378
00:20:14,083 --> 00:20:16,633
His goal was to produce cars
so efficiently
379
00:20:16,708 --> 00:20:20,418
that they would be affordable to
the Ford employees themselves.
380
00:20:20,500 --> 00:20:23,130
In keeping with the methodsof mass production,
381
00:20:23,208 --> 00:20:26,788
every car had to be painted
the very same color.
382
00:20:26,875 --> 00:20:29,125
When asked
what color he liked,
383
00:20:29,208 --> 00:20:31,288
Ford is reported
to have thought for a moment,
384
00:20:31,375 --> 00:20:32,825
and then said,
385
00:20:33,417 --> 00:20:36,037
"Make them all black."
386
00:20:36,125 --> 00:20:39,285
