Favorite Oscar Speech
 

With the oscars crawling upon us, it made me wonder, what is everyone's favorite oscar acceptance speeches?

Mine (not because they won, just good speeches):

-Robin Williams for Goodwill Hunting
-Charlize Theron for Monster
-Denzel Washington for Training Day
-Kevin Spacey for American Beauty
-Morgan Freeman for Million Dollar Baby
-Joe Peschi- Goodfellas (shortest speech ever)

I thought both of Daniel Day-Lewis' were very eloquent and genuine. Also enjoyed Russell Crowe's, Philip Seymour Hoffman's, Colin Firth's and George Clooney's.

Quentin Tarantino's for his Screenplay win for Pulp Fiction.

Something along the lines of...

"I had a big speech, but I'm gonna wait until we win all the other awards, WHICH WE ARE!"

I'm in the same boat. So all you people in the Mofo Oscar chat better give me and lundy some in depth play by play.

Me and Ola are watching you can come by

What the...? When was the last time you were on this forum?

Nice way my brother invites me to watch the Oscars, huh? On an internet forum even though we live a few blocks from each other.

This is my LEAST favorite:

Nothing against her win, but this was just embarrasing.

I'll start by saying that Christoph Waltz should give a class in Oscar acceptance speeches...I don't think anyone gives a classier speech than he does. Some other speeches that I think deserve mention here:

Daniel Day Lewis' speech for THERE WILL BE BLOOD

Sean Penn's speech for MILK

Louise Fletcher's speech for ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST

Maureen Stapleton's speech for REDS

Peter Finch's widow's speech for NETWORK

Jane Fonda's speech for her father for ON GOLDEN POND
