Watch the Touching Oscar Tribute to John Hughes

March 7, 2010

Molly Ringwald and Matthew Broderick played beloved characters in John Hughes movies (Ringwald played multiple, in fact), and the actors took the stage to honor the life of the acclaimed director. After sharing a few memories, we were treated to a montage of some of Hughes's most famous movies from Ferris Bueller's Day off to The Breakfast Club and beyond. Afterward, more actors including Macaulay Culkin, Jon Cryer, and Ally Sheedy took the stage to add to the love. Check out the touching tribute below.

Yeah, those twilight idiots were staring blankly. It would certainly help todays' young stars if they studied their craft and some history of films. These 80's films are classic. Will be remembered long after any of these vampire movies will. For the record, I think Matthew Broderick still looks great!! A bit heavier and less hair, but still has that great face. Righteous!!!

I love how the twilight cast sat there oblivious to a cannon that was obviously beyond their grasp.

The song is "True" by Spandau Ballet.

You can hear Macaulay say his prompter was wrong at the end of that clip, followed by Matthew Broderick saying "Yeah?"

*blubbering* John Hughes... I couldn't have grown up without him. He had a way of representing kids that make you wonder if he had a spycam in your room and hall locker. :D

i cried my face off watching this tribute, John Hughes defined my childhood, my pre teens, my teens and my adulthood. Molly looked the way she did because when you try to hold in emotions, you can look dazed, she was holding it together for the man who gave her a career.

molly is still a very pretty girl, i think even more now than when she was a teen. but she's stiff as a board and looked nervous as f. she needs to learn to chillax. she might get more werk if she'd get over herself. not saying to be mean, still a fan. just want to see her be more successful than she has been as an adult. though i could NEVER get up on stage like that, sheet, i'd run away crying from the nerves.

Why wasn't Farrah Fawcett missed in the Memoriam piece? She was one beautiful person that died the same week as Michael Jackson, infact the same day only in the a.m. right? Sorry, I just hate to see some one missed as she was a great and courageous person who desires her due. Thanks!
