Here’s a fun video that I’ve never seen before featuring Jack Nicholson accepting his BAFTA Best Actor Award in 1975 for his roles in both The Last Detail and Chinatown.
Nicholson was not in attendance to accept his award because he was in the middle of shooting One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, so he accepted the award from the set of that film with all of his co-stars and the whole thing was hilarious.
I love that all of his co-stars stay in character through the acceptance speech.
The video came with the following note: “Greatest acceptance speech ever? Watch Jack Nicholson accept his Leading Actor award for his performance in The Last Detail and Chinatown on the set of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest in 1975.”
If you’ve never seen this before, you’re in for a treat! Enjoy!
