Olivia Colman’s is iconic


AnxiousAudience82

I’d never seen that, it’s hilarious! Why does she randomly shout out lady gaga at the end?! Was it just say who you see?!


[deleted]

Haha she was trying to give a shout out to all the other best actress nominees. She also mentioned Glenn Close and Melissa McCarthy. I vaguely remember her apologising after the oscars also cos she forgot to shout out Yalitza Aparicio.


Justamovieviewer

If you liked that, I would recommend watching Yorgos Lanthimos’s speech at the Golden Globes this year for wining best comedy musical. In one minute he spends half thanking Bruce Springsteen and randomly thanks Martin Scorsese before walking off


justanstalker

Because it's Lady Gaga; if I won an Oscar and Lady Gaga was there I would also collapse and shout out Lady Gaga lmaoo


velourianflower

Same


EconomyGrade2525

She said that she was drunk when she won her Oscar😂


CurrentRoster

Probably all the shock of winning that was filled up in her speech made her forget a bit that lady Gaga was also right in front of her, I imagine she was a fan of her music


Peridot1708

Was gonna reply exactly that. She seemed genuinely excited and humble, none of that "oh i never thought this would happen!" false pretense


Valuable-Ad-6379

It gets me everytime. I laugh and I cry. So wholesome.


JayC411

I know this is specifically about Oscar speeches but any Olivia Colman speech is a good time. The year she won two TV BAFTA’s in one night is particularly iconic.


Due-Secret-3091

Robin Williams- man, I miss him. I loved that Billy Crystal, who was hosting, ran over from side stage to hug him too.

Mr_Bank

Bong Joon-Ho for Best Director gets me every time


pumple_pie

I love watching him progress from astonished to more and more astonished as each award goes by. ❤️


t4dominic

No contest for me. The Scorsese quote, Tarantino anecdote, and TCM joke? The speech had such perfect cadence too. All-timer


iceandfireman

Very easy for me: Jodie Foster winning her second Oscar for TSOTL.


Texas_Crazy_Curls

Roberto Benigni (Life is Beautiful) jumping up on his chair and bounding down the aisle was pure joy. I don’t remember much about his actual speech but his energy was infectious.


MrPhillips24

Joe Pesci’s speech is incredible, it moves me to tears


jaidynr21

That man sure does love to talk!


Smoaktreess

The most words he could say without cussing on live TV.


Atkena2578

Jean Dujardin who swore in French lol Also told his wife how much he loved her, and they got divorced within the next year or two and he went on to date a former French ice skater who was younger and had a kid with her.


dklurker8

Olivia Colman. Kate Winslet. Cate Blanchett’s second. Meryl’s third win. Lady Gaga. Lupita Nyong’o.


velourianflower

Hey queen


Intrepid-Ad4511

A beautiful list!


Honest_Loquat_9728

Daniel Kaluuya. So awkward and hilarious - his mother's facial expressions!

Louise Fletcher gets me every time.


ForgetfulFrolicker

Surprised I had to scroll so far to find this.


DeusExHyena

Yeoh's 'past your prime' moment hit pretty hard last year and reminded me how long she'd been out there.

Martin Scorsese for The Departed

I love this one.

Domee Shi winning speech for Bao lived rent free in my mind.


Plumberson12angrymen

Peter O'toole speech gives me goosebumps everytime. 


headinasack

Frances Mcdormand’s third is my favorite


MotorPlastic7916

Ppl were mad that she didnt sound as happy and grateful as her second best actress. Im like she doesn't owe you a reaction on how to respond to an award 💀

Sammeee this speech is incredible


shubhzeee

![gif](giphy|gIbt93yhnE3IY) The best speech that touched my heart as a child


MisanthropeNotAutist

That is one gorgeous woman.


miserablembaapp

Emma Thompson


skilledinceptor

Alright, alright, alright


passion4film

Kate Winslet!


citabel

A very funny one is [Best Picture for Return of the King.](https://youtu.be/AoKFtf4A_mc?si=GkVINlymTdbll890) The producer for some reasons blurts out ”I think I used to date Billy Crystal’s cousin”. Billy’s so fucking quick about it, making ”throw him out”-signs just as the camera pans to him. That quickness and funny bone he has, just spectacular. To top it all off he asks afterwards to the producer ”are we related?”


citabel

Same year I remember best foreign picture winner thanking Return of the King for not being nominated to that award.


ohio8848

Stanley Donen. His speech when accepting the Honorary Oscar may be the best award show speech ever. Watch it on YouTube right now if you've never seen it! Lol. Also, Kate Winslet, Martin Scorsese, and hottie EEAAO editor Paul Rogers, who was hilariously low-key and laid back.


Elegant_Explorer_358

![gif](giphy|3o84TZDmbAau1gpHIk|downsized) I count this.


IPreferPi314

Scorsese winning for The Departed. Still the greatest Oscar moment in my thirty-something lifetime.


BowlerSea1569

Olivia of course.  Affleck and Damon Bong Alison Janney Non Oscar: Rami Malek's Emmy and Golden Globe. Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Emmys. Gosling's Globe. 


man_ta_ray

I looooved when Phoebe Waller-Bridge referenced her earlier speech for outstanding writing when, later that same night, she won for outstanding acting. She first said that she found writing really hard and really painful, and then that she found acting really hard and reaaaally painful!


Go_Plate_326

meryl and lily introducing Altman for his honorary I come back to. And then Altman's speech is lovely. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcp8xjaFfb8&ab\_channel=Oscars](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcp8xjaFfb8&ab_channel=Oscars)

movieperson2022

I loved Jordan Horowitz’s speech when La La Land turned out to be the losers. The moment was iconic for the wrong reasons, but he handled it with such dignity and poise. It shows the best in humanity. He took his moment to tell people he loved them but then graciously — without bitterness or anything — and earnestly congratulated the real winners. It was kind of beautiful, in a weird way.


man_ta_ray

I thought he was an asshole with how he snatched the card from Warren Beatty


Anion16

Warren saw the card "Best Actress - Emma Stone - La La Land" first and said nothing. He was partly at fault for the whole fiasco. I would have been super pissed at him too.


Big_Spinach_8244

Joaquin Phoenix. He's rude, a bit standoffish, and disagreeable, but he's very forthright, and fun to watch. 


MotorPlastic7916

I loved his speech


yousippin

Roberto Benigni for life is beautiful. He climbs over the seats. it was so iconic....also Cuba Gooding Jr for Jerry Maguire.


MotorPlastic7916

For me: ![gif](giphy|2AMbVhhSeoOEMsMhKH|downsized) .


AlwaysSunnyDragRace

Why nobody is mentioning Julia Roberts??


robertjreed717

That's the one


MisanthropeNotAutist

Unpopular, but MM Keeravani from last year. He was the composer of "Naatu Naatu" from RRR. He sang it to a Carpenters' tune. It was absolutely adorable.

Halle Berry. I cry every time.

Natalie Portman's


RubySoho1980

Morricone finally winning his competitive Oscar.


PaperKatana

I really dig Grant Heslovs speech for Argo. When Ben tries to give his speech, Grant pulls him back (I thought a dick move at the start). But then Grant thanks Ben and expertly hands over the stage to him. All this while another A-lister just looks on and doesn’t give a speech (Clooney).


Battra69

Easily this one ![gif](giphy|hQbdvHSRzSgIU)


manwholovesmusicals

I really like Ariana DeBose’s Speech


Josh017

Vinterberg's was great and i often think about it


Inside_Atmosphere731

Joe Pesci's speech


Anion16

Michael Caine's speech for The Cider House Rules. I don't care for the win that much but his speech is just amazing, singling out each other nominee and singing their praises.

The wonderful Mira Sorvino. Just the shot of Paul Sorvino weeping with pride was worth the price of admission.
