beautiful speech love this quote. "The movie is about people trying take care of each other in the face of terrible of adversity, I have been taken care of my whole life by wonderful people who I love, and who have loved me." Great stuff

[susfring]

So well deserved, the dialogue in that film was so real and hit me like a bus.

[Minotauronabike]

This is lit, because Matt Damon commissioned that script and was going to direct it, but when he read it he decided that Lonergan should direct it himself.

[franklesher]

"Manchester by the sea" has to be the most realistic and touching film that made me feel identified. "Hell or High Water" hold me at the edge of the seat with his thrilling concept.  I wanted that "La La Land" won this award because of his originaly and entertaining concept, but a deserving award for "MBTS" and for Kenneth Lonergan.

hey look there's batman and the guy from the hilarious comedy the martian

[leonorrivera]

Kenneth really has a way of pinching your heart. He made me cry in Manchester. He got me teary eyed in his thank you speech.

0:16 this was one the funniest moment of the Oscars, live that feud between Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel

[hieronymusboschful]

I love this guy. Magnificent writer, and such an elegant speech.

[ShanaNakazawa]

I love Jimmy and Matt. Please never end the feud 😂😂

[moulikmishra]

They have really come full circle. They won this award 13 years ago in this category, and now they are presenting.

[toiletsinheaven]

‘… and thank u casey affleck casey affleck casey affleck’ these two have the greatest deepest love n admiration for each other for more than two decades! love em both

[jjaniero]

beautiful, heartfelt, honest, graceful, just like all his work

[MsOnkel]

That Oscar moment will go into history. 1st time sombody was played-off in a Oscarpresentation!

[ejshaw]

I'd love if someone won this award and said "I dedicate this award to my ghost writer thank you"

[Michael-xinb]

I hate it whenever a less famous person wins an Oscar they cut to a clip of the film as they're walking to the stage. WHY?! I like seeing the reaction from the audience.

[Ally_]

I've watched this about twenty times in the last three weeks. Damn fine film.

[codyhiginbotham]

Some screenplays win because of their story, some win because of their dialogue, and some win because of both
Manchester by the Sea definitely won because of both

[supermariofan]

My 3rd favorite movie of 2016! An incredibly realistic and touching movie!

[davyanilhaq]

Dammit, Oscars! You missed the best part of this actual clip.
(after showing Jimmy Kimmel's experience on Matt Damon's best performance *ever*)
"Ladies & gentleman, please welcome Ben Affleck, and guest. "

If that wasn't hilarious, I don't know what is. Best bromance ever. #KimmelDamon

[chelseapoet]

What a beautiful, heartfelt speech by the writer and director of a beautiful, heartfelt film.
