And the Winner is...

I think it was Sally Field who said it best, "You like me, you really like me." She said this famous line at the 1985 Academy Awards while accepting her second oscar for her role in Places in the Heart. While it may not have been the best acceptance speech, it was definitely memorable.


I'll admit, I still don't watch all the acceptance speeches at The Oscars, but I do watch the "big" ones. Best Actor and Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Actress and Best Movie. Probably because I've watched all the movies and now I feel invested in the them, I want to see my prediction come true and see my favourtie actor give their speech. After the first few speeches they all start to sound the same to me, and I don't know anyone they're thanking.

But lets be honest, no one ever remembers the "best" acceptance speeches, we all remember the "worst" ones.

I am starting to realize that a lot of work and man power goes into making the final product so this year I probably should sit down and listen to the speeches because every person that gets thanked in a speech deserves it.
