The most charming, elegant man who ever lived. Forget Clooney (who copies him almost perfectly), forget Pitt and Depp. Nobody even comes close to Cary.

Like a fine bottle of wine, Cary Grant aged beautifully.

This Oscar was one of the most deserved in history. Not just for one movie. His whole career deserved it. Cary Grant.

One of the best sounds in the world is Cary Grant's laugh.

He was just class. He never lost it. He was also quite modest. He actually seems mildly embarrassed receiving it. He thanked all those people who had 'helped' him over all those years and all the films. A true legend.

Cary Grant had a very, very difficult young life. It's remarkable what he made of his life. There will never be another!

Cary was such a gorgeous man, the most charismatic/dashing man that have ever appeared in front of a camera! The laugh is quite adorable.

Cary was an absolute gentleman. Perfection is the only word that can describe him. Even his laugh just seems real.

Pure class. Who wouldn't want to be just like this gentleman. A true star of the silver screen.

NO ONE has EVER embodied ELEGANCE and CLASS as Cary Grant.

That was the most elegant speech at the Oscars to date and it was so well deserved.

Cary Grant was an absolute master at comedic timing. Every time I watch one of his films I’m in awe. Great films. And he worked with so many legends.

Grant is incredibly gracious and extremely considerate of his colleagues.

I watched this and just couldn't keep the grin off my face. Cary Grant was wonderful. God I wish I had been born back then just to meet him.

It's a wonder he'd never received an Oscar along the way. One of the best acceptance speeches of all the Oscar Nights. North by Northwest is my favorite.

They don't make classy actors like this any more. I miss him.

I just adore Cary's laugh. One of a kind and another great who left us :(

What a gentleman, a man like there are no more nowadays, such a class and elegance. It was another time, another world, and I really miss it! :/
