This is why comedy is so important. He uses it to show that he’s ok. He’s sick yea, but he will always be Michael J Fox. Comedy breaks through all barriers.
"If they're busy laughing, they're not busy feeling sorry for you"
PDcure= pedicure. That just cracked me up lol!
💯💯💯💯💯💯🤙🤙🤙🤙 fuckin class act ! Incredible individual!
Aye lad, that it does.
My favorite movie Back to the Future 1, 2 and 3
Influencers are not role models. This man is a role model. ❤
This man is one in a billion. Not only did he leave a successful career, inspite of having the obvious setbacks with his health issues, he dedicated his entire life to the betterment of people suffering from a deadly disease. If this is not true heroism then what is?
This guy is my childhood. Thank you MJF for the inspiration I had as a kid, and for the bravery shown here that convinces me I am capable of anything.
baby how old are you now just say exactly
בבקשה תגיד לי שאתה ישראלי ושלא יצאתי מטומטם

How can anybody up their do this to AN exceptionanal, man NOT FAIR
Unanimously Deserved.
@Aldo Flores Bonilla Christopher Reeves😊😌
Absolutely!
What a fighter and inspiring man MJ Fox is! It's hard to believe that he's been diagnosed three decades (!) ago and then goes on stage and delivers such a great 13-minute speech - even taking his shaking hand with humor. His achievement in funding Parkinson's research goes way beyond any honor in existence.
👍🇬🇧🌹
agree
Completly agree
Big deal, millions go through more without the benefit of millions of dollars
That’s what money will do keep ya living a little younger
What an “80s famous” legend this legend is. His humility, strength and wit is always moving. Well deserved MJ Fox.
People in this day and age say "aw, these guys were just 80s famous" like it's something to denigrate, but they don't understand just what a thing that was. Fame really meant something back then, not like today when everybody and their dog is reality tv and social media famous.
His speech was incredible. He was funny, factual and vulnerable. He moved me to tears as he spoke about his life, especially after Parkinson's disease. I can't believe how much his son looks like him. They should do a movie about him and his struggle. It would be inspirational.
*STILL* A Michael J. Fox Movie
Brilliant speech. Those of us who grew up in the 80's remember 80's famous. Michael has achieved a lot in life, some of the most memorable movies ever made. A loving family and a wonderful wife. But you don't realise until you hear him talk what a cracking sense of humour he has. This speech was both funny and moving. He has met Parkinson's head on, and it does not, and has not, ever defined who he is. Michael is still the same person he always was, and his willingness to help others is a testament to who he is as a person. Good man
What a beautiful comment. 🙏🏻
U deserve way more likes on this comment. ❤
Michael J Fox will never know how much he truly touched the lives of us “80’s kids”. Yes he was “80’s famous”, but now he’s a living legend and Legends are Forever…
Amen
Well said
I am so glad there was no time limit on this speech. Let him finish.
My oldest brother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease when he was thirty eight years old. He has benefited from the research and therapeutic developments due to the efforts of the MJ Fox Foundation. Thirty years later he’s still with us and although he has limitations he adapts and keeps on keepin’ on. Thank you Michael J Fox and congratulations, you are so deserving.
It's utterly unfair such good people like this man get sick. Instead of giving up he started a war against Parkinson's. He's an inspiration to us all.
It's not unfair it's call life
Life is unfair. But we still have to suck it up and roll with the punches. My dad lived with chronic pain for most of his life due to a car accident he was in when he was nineteen, but he just kept going until his death last year at the age of 75.
He knew he couldn’t give up because he has the privilege and finances to help others like him.
A movie he made when he was young, several people who worked on the movie later developed Parkinson’s, which leads to believe that there might be an environmental connection, especially since he was so young when he was diagnosed, not even 30. Parkinson’s usually doesn’t start showing symptoms until patients are in their 60’s
Actually, it was Parkinson’s that got him to stop treating his wife like $hit. So, you’re probably confusing his acting persona’s with his real persona; which is rarely seen by the public. ❤️🍀
"People will follow your example, not your advice." Michael J. Fox is the perfect example of this
I don't think I can add to what's said here about Michael... but I can definitely say Tracy Pollan is an absolute godsend. To stand by her husband through everything he has endured... with class, grace, a smile, and a heart the size of Texas - she has earned just as much respect.
He said not long ago when asked about Tracy and their 35 year marriage, I'd be dead " meaning I couldn't have made it without her love, support, and everything she's done. Love them both and all of their kids. They're such a beautiful & supportive family. Michael certainly deserves this award! ❤️
EXACTLY! That is what I was thinking too.
The way he carries himself through this whole speach… nothing but respect to this man and everything he’s been going through over the years. Now THAT’S strength 👏👏👏
Michael J. Fox is the definition of never give up. Truly an inspiration.
Very well-said!! ;)
C. stClair Sorry Who were you referring to?
Now we have extremely clear why Michael J. Fox is so loved. Not just because he may be the most recognizable 80's actor, but also a true cinema superhero. We love you, Michael! ❤️
That was amazing speach right there! Wow!! Tears and laughs all mixed together!
One word can sum up Michael J. Fox. Icon.
He's so humble genuine and raw. Pure goodness and a lovely soul.
Absolutely one of the most deserving people in the industry
Aldo Floris Bonilla 👍🇬🇧🌹
No doubt. ❤️❤️❤️
Yes
Especially in an industry filled with degenerate scum.
1000%
I lost my dad 3 years ago to Parkinson's. He was diagnosed with early onset PD right around the time Michael made his diagnosis public. Michael's humor reminds me so much of my dad, who kept his sense of humor right until the end, which came way too soon. Thank you so much Michael, for all that you've done.
❤️
My mom just passed away in April from Parkinson’s
Very sorry for the loss of your loving parent. ❤
Lost both my grandfathers to Parkinson’s. Such a sad disease. It’s so hard watching them go, but it goes to show that it’s your perspective on your situation that truly defines how you feel about it. And that perspective can be positive! I’m sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry. 😥😥😥
I hate the fact that we've all go to die at some point, it's cruel unjust and a silly cosmic game, this man is awesome, it's just painful to see everyone age 😢, bless you micheal.
Thank you for your vulnerability in your comment. Most of us live our lives distracted with entertainment or chores and not thinking about the temporary nature of our lives-almost thinking we are eternal creatures. But in reality everyone from young people to elderly people are vulnerable to death. It’s a reality that death is part of life just as birth is. I guess knowing we will eventually die can make us treat ourselves and others with compassion and kindness. We can appreciate our lives more knowing the fleeting nature of it. Happy Holidays to you Emmanuel
Death is a great compassion. My only 'problem' is how little time we have. I think 200 years or even 300 is a good lifetime period for a person to have, 80/90 years is just not enough imo. but living here forever? nah, I wouldn't want that.
Typical entitled mindset
@@Cangaca777 typical entitled mindset
This life is NOT all there is. Comfort I send to you. Be of good cheer, it will all be alright, I swear to you, I promise you... ...a lullabye I send thee.
"I ask Tracy to once again carry the weight." One of the most beautiful sentiments I have ever heard.
Wearing the Canadian Poppy to remember the fallen and his Order of Canada pin for his dedication to Canada! Absolute warrior.
In March this year I lost my father who struggled with Parkinson's for more than a decade. All he wanted was to have some dignity around those that knew him. Michael J Fox not only has that, but respect from both his peers in the entertainment business and anyone and everyone that understands what they are going through, but will still love them all the same. Thank you for your courage and example to millions of others that suffer the same disease globally.
My dad also had Parkinsons
My dad died of it as well. It was hard to watch this man who had been an outstanding athlete in his youth just either away to be 70lbs when he died.
So sorry for your loss, I too lost my darling father 13th April this year, terrible disease.
Sorry for hear that
R.I.P your dad. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A comedian, an actor, my 80's childhood and more importantly a brave and inspirational warrior. Here's to you Michael J Fox. So well deserved.
He's such a class act and I have such admiration for him, his talent, his commitment to his family and to overcome his illness and take something others would think of as a detriment and turn it into a mission to bring awareness and money to the cure of this crippling disease.
A class act. I don't think anyone could put it better than that.
Incredible father, husband, performer and spokesperson for Parkinson's who has raised over 1 billion dollars for the cause. He deserves every bit of recognition and respect bestowed upon him. God bless him.
My Grandfather had parkinson's. I got MS diagnosis. Like Fox thankful every day I wake up and see my wife. Everyday he is continuing on...👍
amazing guy
But he's also the worst Tambourine Thief ever.
Crying not because of his disease but because of what this man has accomplished and achieved…. nobody deserved this more than you Michael Jay Fox. My hat goes off to you sir! What a LEGEND!!
He very well may be the best example of a great actor! ❤️
For you youngsters.this man was one of the most famous actors on the planet at the time,back to the future,teen wolf,man's just class
His son looks just like him! 👀👀 Michael is definitely someone to aspire to be and it has nothing to do with his physicality but his personality and soul. 👍
What a brave man and a wonderful human being. Thank you, Michael!
Michael's son looks INSANELY like him. Like I know that's just how genetics work, but it's spooky how alike they look.
So touched to see Michael J Fox received this award, he totally deserved it 👏🏻👏🏻
It's breaks my heart and laugh at the same time... his way of using a little comedy to combat the illness is uncanny and amazing... 1 day a full cure will be there..thanks to this man and the people behind the scene exploring the possibilities
Using humor to lift people up --what a human Michael J. Fox is. Inspirational.
I’ve had Parkinson’s for at least 12 years. I’m crying my eyes out watching this, so incredibly heartbroken at knowing what he’s going through, and at the same time intensely grateful for the funding he and the MJFF has provided for research. I can’t express thanks enough.
Stay positive 👍✌️
Thanks for sharing your story
God bless you.❤️🙏
Remember that gratitude sustains optimism, as Mr Fox says! I wish you all the best
God bless you 🙏🏻
It is the most deserved Oscar in history, an actor who is in history for the most beautiful trilogy ever and for all he has done in the social sphere.. a life well spent
I totally agree. And it's not over yet ...!
FEELS 🦅
Michael J. Fox has always been my hero but I never knew he would inspire so much through his disease ❤ Love the guy, and his optimism, with all my heart
Finally an Oscar speech that isn't selfish or completely out of touch with the common person, and reality. We get a speech that is respecting someone who we can relate with who has spent 30 + years trying to help the common person rather than being self absorbed.
Fox is the real life Superman
What an amazing man & what an amazing speech. I couldn't think of anyone else that's more deserving of this award than Michael J. Fox. He's proof that, "if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything."
🎉😂😂🎉🎉o🎉😂😂😂😂o😂🎉po😂😂p
Nice!
I'll tell you a story about a similar situation in my life. 2 childhood friends fought as teens and the more brilliant and promising of the 2 ended up in a year long coma and with a severe traumatic brain injury. The prognosis was "he'll never wake up". He did. Then, " he'll never talk". He did with great difficulty. Then, " he'll never walk". He did with great difficulty. Then, he won't be able to take care of himself". He did. And not only that, he returned to university in our town and earned his doctorate and for years he was tenured mathematics professor. He was killed riding his inline bicycle on the way to campus a few years ago. He was an amazing guy and I admired him and I will always tell people about him. We were fast friends to the end. Thanks for reading this.
Yes a zillion times
Yes he is ❤
No matter Michael’s condition he delivered an eloquent, articulate and memorable speech. What an incredible display of courage. Everything I imagined about what MJF is like as a person, watching him throughout the years has been totally exceeded beyond measure. His humour, warmth and compassion leaves an indelible impression on all of us. He’s simply a beautiful human and his family are amazing. Thank you Michael. We love you.
This may be the most remarkable speech I've ever heard, the most moving and - eloquent - and how his self-awareness and humor keep everyone moving forward. Bless you Michael J. Fox.
How can you not love Michael and Tracy xxxx
I'm bawling...as an 80s kid MJF was a definitive part of my formative years. I've seen first hand with family what Parkingsons can do and in less time than MJF has been fighting. There is no doubt in my mind that he has walked with angels throughout this journey. No one deserves an Oscar more.
Yes Heather..you read my mind!
Honestly seen in happen in the span of a year and it’s awful, but the guy was still out there cutting his families grass and paying for groceries and living his best life with his wife and two sons. Honestly didn’t even realize he had it until I had seen him about a month prior on my way from work back home cutting grass, and then at work he was there with his family and that when I realized he had the disease.
ME TOO! O my Lord! Those two, Michael and Tracy are a true picture of what a marriage should be!
Me too. Brings tears
I knew someone years ago who had Parkinsons. He was in his 60s at the time and ended up having an operation to help control the tremors. I lent him my copy of Michael's first book "Lucky Man" and he really liked it.
You will be the guy... Forever in any timeline of Human history ❤️
My dad died of Parkinson's, M. J. Fox was a beacon for me and a light, I read everything i could on Parkinson's, M. J. Fox seemed to creep in some of the research as I was deep diving this disease and learning. I just finally came across this video and it brought tears to my eyes. Hes suffered through this horrid disease along time, he was as he said unsure of its progression, it was very fast for my father (15 yrs), it was soul, spirit, mind, and emotionally crushing, MJ Fox has such humor and grace dealing with it, he gave me hope, and he is a inspiration. Im so glad he has such wonderful powerful support, end stage Parkinson's is not anything I wish anyone to have to go through, and the family having to watch the final rapid decline.
*GOD BLESS MICHAEL FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO FACE THE PUBLIC!!*
Who could not absolutely love Michael J. Fox! Being a fan of his since the 80’s, it would be in honor to be in the same room as him! He’s never veered from being an incredible man! The love him and his wife share, it’s so beautiful. His speech was touching, inspirational and HILARIOUS! He is so beyond deserving of this award!!! The world loves you Mr. Michael J. Fox!!!!! You’re one of a kind!!! 💜
Man what was it like living in the 80s?? I’m atleast glad I was born in 2000 so that I grew up without phones or social media until about 14
All of this strength from one man? I'm speechless...
A class act! His movies make us happy. The love that Tracy and he have is timeless. His dedication to a cure, his family, and life is priceless! And he still makes us laugh! He is the definition of GOAT!
His movies are B at best and C or D on average, people such ROBERT FROST are true American citizens!
I've cried 3 times. 1. When he said how much Tracey been by his side. 2. When he said Parkinson's was a gift 😭 😭 😭 3. When he asked Tracey to carry the weight again (his award) Whew! This man right here has truly been a treasure. I'm so proud of Michael J. Fox and am so happy he is honored 🎖 this way. What an amazing Human he is!
❤
He's proven to be a real inspiration to my husband, who also lives with Parkinson's. Bless Michael J. Fox. 💖
I could NOT have said it better myself!
I needed kleenex at the exact same times. What courage he has, true definition of a role model for husband, father, work ethic. Wow
🙏👏❤
What a beautiful speech from a brave man. It is so inspiring to see his vision and optimism, and we should all be grateful he is still able to share his gift of humor with us. Thank you MJF.
What an amazing guy! His, attitude and comedy is beautiful. You are a leader Michael J. Fox.....a true leader.
9:40 Michael never fails to make people laugh. 😂😂😂😂He still has it! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
He makes the world a better place. He is a great gift.
Amazing the battles he has overcome. Has not lost his sense of humor. Gracious.
My god, this gives me faith. Not particularly faith in God, faith in anything other than human determination alone. What a beautiful, touching, tribute to the will and resolve of mankind to better the future for our posterity. If only every acceptance speech echoed these same selfless virtues-we’d be cured.
Childhood Heroes that don't stop being Heroes.
How can one not love Michael J. Fox? What a guy!
I know right??
Always have lived him. Always will ❤
What a great and humble man. I laughed at all the jokes he made, but I also had tears in my eyes. It makes me so sad to see how the disease is slowly taking over. He's so down to earth, so sweet, so nice, never had a scandal. He loves his family and his family loves him! Michael, I wish you all the best......❤️
Michael J Fox = LEGEND ❤
What an incredible speech. We love you Michael.
Such an amazing man, and what an amazing speech! Couldn't imagine anyone else more deserving of this award than Michael J. Fox. What an incredible human being. Thank you, Michael!
Agree 100% Lori. His love of laughter and making people happy shines through all.
I LOVE Michael J. Fox🥰
My sister has PD and she looks up to Michael J Fox as a mentor. She has the biggest heart of anyone I know. MJF Keep up the great work and let's kick PD out of existence in YOUR Lifetime!
What a class act Michael J Fox is. God bless him and his lovely family
"Doing good as a major part of doing right". Beautifully said and well deserved. We love you, Michael.

He's still got it!!👍🤣,, funny as ever ! he hasn't lost his sense of Humor!! Awesome acceptance speach👏👏❤ you'll always be Marty McFly👍
"They were 80's famous" 🤣🤣🤣
He deserves it love him
I have no words except that this man made me laugh, cry and smile all in 13 minutes. A special and heartbreaking character who has such intense optimism, as with his family, that is so inspiring and conversely heartwarming to know that this incredibly special man is out there, facing great difficulty and yet has such a warm sense of humour
Michel J FOX UN GRANDE UOMO DIO TI BENEDICA GRAZIE PER LA TUA FORZA
Optimism is fueled by gratitude and with gratitude optimism is sustainable. Great words.
What a mensch! He is truly a great man. Despite his health issues he has maintained his good humor. I’m sure his positivity has sustained him well beyond the doctors’ initial prognosis of his illness. Long live Michael J Fox!
12:08 "My optimism is fueled by my gratitude. And with gratitude, optimism is sustainable."
What an inspiration! This very special award is so well deserved by Michael J. Fox. I'm so happy that the Academy recognized him for his many accomplishments and humanitarianism. And he has such a beautiful family who is so proud of him! That is the secret of life!
what a beautiful person ... inside out.
My dad was diagnosed with Parkinsons a few years back. Seeing Michael still kicking it, gives me hope for my dad🖤
Even _with_ parkinsons his delivery is pure genius comedy timing. The man is a beast.
I’m 46 now. Born and raised in Copenhagen; Denmark. I have never been the type of guy who had heroes or idols… expect one guy. This guy. Mr Michael J Fox. It’s hard to explain why you become a lifelong fan of a person you haven’t meet, but I did. My friends idols back in the 80ties/90ties where the cool guys such as Michael Jordan, Will Smith, Eddie Murphy, Tyson, Sly or Jim Carrey. My man was first Axel P Keaton, later McFly, later Mike Flaherty…but always Michael J Fox. I’m not sure I can explain this to my son (17 years old), but MJF is still the person in the world i want to meet the most for a coffee. Take care everyone.
Michael is a beautiful example of someone who was dealt a difficult situation but who chose to find good mentors and leaders and made joy and light in a dark place. I have a feeling we are going to celebrate Michael not as the beautiful soul who entertained us but as the one who helped humanity find the cure to this debilitating disease. His humor, candor, and heart are his greatest attributes, and we are all blessed by his courageous life.
Hello dear, I saw your profile and may I say you have such a beautiful and captivating smile
I would watch MJF entertain anywhere, anytime, in any condition, he gave me some of the best memories of my life in the theater and out...
The world needs more people like Michael!
My favorite movie of all time is Back to the Future 2. Best film franchise ever made because of this extremely talented man. Michael J Fox will forever be a legend. So deserving 👏🏼
When you face what Michael faces daily with humor, strength, hope and smiles, it makes me feel guilty for any complaining about small stuff in life. God bless you Michael.
"With gratitude, optimism is sustainable." Incredible.
It’s so wonderful to see a person with a serious physical disability but a sound mind and heart show the world that you can struggle with standing or talking or almost everything and still be a splendid person and a gift to your community. Thank you to a gifted actor and beautiful person ❤
I admire this man. So strong and inspiring. And the wonderful family he has.
I’m not going to lie, I cried through Mike’s whole speech…. What a awesome guy.
Me too. Especially towards the end. I lost it.
Thank you for updating Michael's speech so it wasn't cut off. It was so disrespectful to him.
I lost my grandfather to Parkinson’s disease in 2019. Michael J. Fox has made such a huge difference and s continues to do so to find a cure for this disease. Thank you Michael J. Fox.
Michael J Fox was the pinnacle of '80's famous'. A legend in so many ways. Massive respect for MJF.
Protect Micheal at absolutely all costs
Tears...... Funny how you can feel you grew up with someone you've never met. Godspeed Michael.
He sure does deserve that Oscar. Everybody loves Michael J Fox. What a fighter. I never knew he had no Oscar if I'm honest. Back to the future movie is iconic.
I can’t wait to meet him one day. I’ve had Parkinson’s for 5 years now and I’m only 47. MJF and his loving wife Tracey are inspirations and beacons of hope. Much love and thanks to them both. ❤ 🙏
Congratulations MJF. On behalf of about 8 billion friends, you are much loved
