You know, he's always been so funny that people sometimes fail to realize what a kind and humble man he is. Extremely intelligent as well. One of the greatest of all time.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is how to give an acceptance speech with class, humor and dignity. Well done sir. 

Every once in a while I watch this video and rediscover what a great writer (and performer) Steve Martin is. This speach is a perfect example of class and comedy.

Some celebrities you just KNOW are good people. Steve Martin is one of them.

Touching moment when he talks about his wife. Amazing guy

Steve Martin receiving an "honorary" Oscar, demonstrates how to graciously accept an award in a heartfelt speech. 8 minutes and worth watching.

Steve Martin is a great Comedian, a great old school Comedian.

"I can't possibly express how excited I am tonight because the botox is fresh" Only Steve Martin can deliver such finese and genius. Master of delivery no one comes close.

[soulthief]

The speech that has everything. I teared up when he did.

"I saw Captain Phillips... I didn't think it was so Funny".... comedy gold!

[T.E.P..]

I've met Steve a handful of times ... somehow he remembers and all the time he shines as a super huge loving soul and lover of arts ... he's 1 of a kind

I worked on The Jerk… Carl Reiner and David Picker were solid people.. I was a young PA and they were so kind to me… His description of walking into a soundstage and a set that first day is spot on.. for those of us behind the camera as well as those on camera…. I enjoyed every bit of it.. I was late once my first week on a commercial back in 19#& and I never needed an alarm clock ever after that. I was lucky and blessed to have had a career instead of a job… and I cherish those memories.

Steve Martin's Oscar speech is how it should be done. Some people should watch this so that if they get an Oscar, they know how to give a proper speech. Not just thank themselves, but those that helped them to get where they are. Great speech Steve.

[voicemint]

A man who is so well deserving of an Oscar. Glad he finally got one. Steve is rather timeless. His hair went completely white like over 2 decades ago, and he still looks the same. Close your eyes, and his voice is practically unchanged. May he go on and on... until there's no more marrow to suck out of life.

I just worry that we are slowly losing these type of actors.

[ingloriousbasterd]

Steve is one of a kind and just plain kind, sweet, smart, talented and one hell of a good man.

[korqkar]

Man..can Steve Martin pull a speech. respect"

[aniciawong]

All of me, Three Amigos, Roxanne are all my favourite movies. Steve Martin is a genius in comedy. Martin Short is another of my favourite comedian and actor. They are the best! 👍👏❤🤩😍🥰😘

What a simply wonderful acceptance speech...

An absolute class act as always. One of the greatest comedy talents that there will ever be. My favorite from Steve Martin is The Jerk. I cry laughing every time I watch that movie!
