Greatest Oscar Acting Scenes of All Time PART 1

De Niro and Sean Penn. Salute!

“I am Sam” is a tough watch. Profoundly beautiful movie about love and overcoming one’s personal flaws.

okay, deniro is overrated and that was one of the effortless acting by denzel. He shines in Hurricane.

They were all great performances ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Osmosis is how water moves.

Meryl Streep is unreal

Tom Tom Hanks Sean Penn Jack Nicholson

THESE ARE GREAT!

Meryl was guns blazing! man I love that!!!!

Someone needs to find a script for Tom Hanks. We need him back at his "Philadelphia"; "Forrest Gump"; "Cast Away"; "Big" level of greatness!

ANY Joaquin Phoenix performance.

I've never seen that Maggie Smith movie, but I'm going to look for it now. Just that scene alone had me in tears.

Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher together. I know you said 1 person but I could not see another pair of actors reproduce what they did on screen during that movie. Why? I believed them both. I believed McMurphy and Ratchet for how ever long that movie was.
It affected me that much I quit a job I had in an institution. I’ve never seen any performance to match those artists.

Forest Gump Tom Hanks

Forest gump was a black man

It’s so very close but I have to go with which made me cry. That’s feeling and Tom Hanks completely delivered in Forrest Gump in one of the most honest performances in cinema.

This was not that funding

most of them are so great but i like the alpacino in front of the diciplinary committee more than any other scene

Denzel Washington always overacts his parts so badly. Not really that good.

loved them all, because the actors acted the part, not their egos, their attitudes, their own thoughts, they lost themselves in the words/

Sean Penn was raw emotion…I entered his world.The love and grief he expresses was very moving.

Denzel's performances are always outstanding. The scene from Training Day always captivates me. Sean Penn, to me, has always been an excellent actor. His ease at playing so many different characters from the time he was in Taps and Fast Times to now, never typecast.

Sean Penn is amazing, a very far from himself. Incredible acting

can't choose one, so I'll list the ones I really like in the order of preference -

1. Sean Penn
2. Jack Nicholson
3. Tom Hanks

My choice is with roles where you're not just playing a character but a character with limitations. The way they've expressed their emotions using their entire body just resonates with you. A good scene will always overwhelm you and if it does, you know it was a good scene

My order out of these 10 would be (Rated from the “Best” to the “Worst”):
1.) Jack Nicholson
2.) Sean Penn
3.) Tom Hanks
4.) Meryl Streep
5.) Maggie Smith
6.) Robert DeNiro
7.) Phillip Seymour Hoffman
8.) Adam Driver
9.) Denzel Washington
10.) Scarlett Johansson

Forest gump made me cry🙏🙏✌️

I LOVED silver linings playbook, excellent movie

Denzel

Without context most of these don’t hit for me tbh

Adam driver…move me down…😪😪😪😪😭😭😭

Denzel scene talking to his son in Jon Q, was Oscar worthy.

Myerl Streep, boy did she get fucked, what a performance!!!!!!

Good acting is simple. Don't think of the next line you are going to say. Act as if it just came to your mind to say this...

TAA, I don't know what words discribes or expresses why I nominated this part of The Grey movie where Frank Grillo (Liam John Neeson) through his despair, tries to put God to the test. "Prove it, earn it, show me something real"! Not a year before watching that movie, I had lost my 2 and a half year old son. I cried like a baby.
Please, if you can, watch. God Bless us all.

It is a cross for me between Denzel who literally scares me in this scene and the character is so realistic and, of course, Joe Peshi. He makes me so uncomfortable at that table scene. Great actors all of them though. I just really like the way Denzel and Joe can really draw me into the scene like that.

Al Pacino as Michael Corleone GF2 New’s Years “Kiss of Death” to his brother Fredo.

Whats the Meryl Streep movie called?? Incredible scene. Absolutely brilliant🔥🫡

Denzel's the greatest

Denzel Washington or Joe Pesci.it’s hard to choose I’m them boys… it’s like there where them self but totally different people. I can’t explain it.

Adam driver scene was perfect 👌 they both nailed how a couples argue can be like.

Rip to philip and heath. Both were phenomenal actors. But I still think Philip was underrated when he was here.

I once liked Robert. But him turning to a lefty lunatic made me lose all respect for him. Idc what party you vote for. I have dem friends and im a independent but my values lean more conservative. But when your a actor who doesn't understand a blue collars reality of inflation etc. Don't speak like you are a person who knows what's best for poor and middle class people. Its all bs. Just like Ricky Gervais said. Accept you award thank your manger etc and get the F off stage. Nobody cares what you think about anything.

Denzel playing bad guy , omg .....we waiting for brad pitt tobe villian.

Denzel

Sean PENN in I Am Sam is the most awesome acting I've ever seen. An emotional tearjerker.
2nd. Meryl Streep in Aug.Osage Co. Great job in whole movie.

Bobby and Maggie have it tied up. They both portray emotional desperation aswell as the depth of the characters they have taken on.

Difficult to pick which one is a great actor or actress. Every last one was awesome to me. They made me believe who they portrayed

Daniel Day Lewis There will be Blood
Al Pacino Scent of a woman

Hoffman, Nicholson, Washington, De Niro, Streep. Substance over pretense.
