For me, my #1 is Ke Huy Quan - the genuineness of his speech had me in tears!
I thought of that speech, such an emotional and sweet speech
Never get tired to watch Olivia Colman's Oscar speeches. So funny, so original!
Can you do the opposite now. Doing the 10 worse Oscar speeches.
I second this
JLaw needs to be there. 😁
Yes please 🙏.
+1 🙏
Probably too many to be able to pick just 10; the vast majority of recipients seem to just reel off the names of all the people they're grateful to (don't forget the producers or your agent!) and telling their partner, kids and parents that they love them. Yawn. Don't bore us with that, tell us how you feel!
Definitely underrated is Russell Crowe's speech for Gladiator. He managed to do the "usual" parts of thanking parents and agents with eloquent and fresh phrasing, and ended it with poetic encouragement: "You know, when you grow up in the suburbs of Sydney or Auckland, or Newcastle like Ridley or Jamie Bell, or the suburbs of anywhere, you know, a dream like this seems kind of vaguely ludicrous and completely unattainable. But this moment is directly connected to those childhood imagining[s]. And for anybody who's on the down side of advantage and relying purely on courage, it's possible."
For me, as an Asian guy, Bong Joon-Ho’s speech during his victory in Best Directing is my #1 all-timer, and then Michelle Yeoh’s is my 2nd. 🙏🏻❤️💯
It was so funny -- I think he didn't expect to win Best Picture, so this was his moment. Then, when the final award came, it felt like a "second moment."
No Russell Crowe - when he talks about childhood dreams and being able to pursue them…you could hear a pin drop in the auditorium. It was mesmerising.
Good one. Yes it’s a classic.
Rita Moreno’s speech was a good one. Surprised it’s not included
Yes! Very brief and to the point.
Berry’s speech had gravitas. It ignited my lifelong interest in awards. Haters be damned.
I didn't entirely agree with the win but I thought Michael Caine's Oscar speech for The Cider House Rules was one of the best speeches ever. Plus Bob Hope getting his honorary Oscar was great mainly because he always said he relied on que cards and his writers yet he didn't have anything ready and was able to give a great speech.
Caine was one of the most gracious winners when acknowledging each of his fellow nominees.
Great speech, undeserved win
Even though my heart breaks each time I think of the Colman win over Close, I will agree that was one of the best Speeches!
You're not alone...on both counts!
Ms. Shirley MacLaine’s speech has everything. What a talent!
For me it has to be Peter O'Toole's Honorary Oscar speech. It is always my go to on youtube. I never get tired of it.
Wait a min, I can't believe you didn't mention Bong thanking Tarantino for including his films in his yearly top list. This is how I discovered Bong Joon and Korean Cinema. When he said that I was so moved, it brought me to tears. 🎬❤
Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s was so heartfelt . I don’t think she ever got blasé about winning.
Yes! She belongs on this list. I'd bump Hanks off this list, his speech was so full of virtual signalling that it was cringey.
Jonathan Glazer’s speech for The Zone of Interest
No force in heaven or on earth will convince me that Cuba Gooding Jr. gave a better performance than William H Macy in Fargo, or Edward Norton in Primal Fear. This is one thing that PISSES me off about the Academy; this was a reward for a hip actor in a very hip and of-the-moment movie and the award was mostly for one scene of hip sort-of-funny dialogue that became the phrase of the moment.
Those were definitely better performances.
Cuba Gooding, Jr. did in fact deserve the Oscar for Jerry Maguire, you obviously are not a fan of that movie.
william h macy in the supporting category is an absolute joke
@@merveben4753agreed it is category fraud, he was lead. But since he was in supporting he should have won regardless.
Personally I loved Denzel's speech for Training Day. It was a class act all around and that moment where he and Sidney Poitier held their trophies up to another was so iconic!
A great speech you omitted Brian, was Frances McDormand from 2018 for "Three Billboards outside Ebbing Missouri"
2018 and it was extraordinary
Maybe it’s just me, but I think that speech and McDormand’s delivery of the speech was a bit cringeworthy…😅
@@t221000 That it was. I dont think it would have been as noticable in years before. But are in a post me-too world so it came at just the right time
@@LouiseAndersen1991 That was a fantastic Oscars ceremony because of the Me Too culture
No Ruth Gordon for Rosemarys Baby? One of the best and funniest Oscar speeches of all time. Plus Meryl Streeps speech for the Iron Lady and Michael Caines for the Cider House Rules. Oh and Maureen Stapletons speech for Reds.
Gordon's speech was very witty!
I love Anna Paquin’s speech when she won for “The Piano” in 1994! She was so adorable!
Ruth Gordon's acceptance speech was absolutely charming
I’ve got a few
Eva Marie Saint “I’m gonna have the baby right here”
Adrien Brody both his winning speech and his presentation the next year with the Binaca. Priceless.
I know he’s still cancelled, but Kevin Spacey thanking his mom for driving him to acting class during his acceptance speech for ‘The Usual Suspects’ is lovely.
Clark Gable thanking Frank Capra and Claudette Colbert is sweet and gracious.
Paul Williams thanking ‘all the little people’ for best song…. There are so many esp. from years past (ie before the 2000’s) that really deserve a look
Here are my top 10, in alphabetical order:
- Adrien Brody
- Anna Paquin
- Frances McDormand ("TBOEM")
- Halle Berry
- Hattie McDaniel
- Jared Leto
- Lupita Nyong'o
- Patricia Arquette
- Tom Hanks ("Philadelphia")
- Troy Kotsur
Not sure if it's entirety is my favourite (haven't watched in a while), but DDL winning for Lincoln and joking about how him and Meryl Streep were going to play each other's roles (Meryl as Lincoln, DDL as Thatcher) always makes me laugh.
Also Ke Huy Kwan winning speech is so beautiful
Recency bias but I thought Emma Stone’s speech from this most recent year was wonderful
Some great choices here. Esp Olivia 🥰
Is there any chance of doing an 'Irish invasion of the Oscars' type video? There have been a lot of Irish actors making a big impact lately, especially now with Cillian winning
The two I go back to more than any other are Ke Huy Quan for Best Supporting Actor and Brendan Fraser for Best Actor. Not only are they great and genuine speeches, they both touched me deeply since I grew up watching Indiana Jones and Looney Tunes: Back in Action.
I really loved Cate Blanchetts speech for Blue Jasmine. Pure class
And yet we are still waiting for another “Halle Berry” Oscar moment for Best Actress.
Jamie Lee Curtis is definitely up there for me
I love In & Out, such a hilarious and underrated movie! When I found out it was inspired by that speech I was shook.
Halle Berrys speech is probably the one I go to for a good cry. Great video!
No Life is Beautiful? For Cuba's enthusiastic win but not this one? Aa tiny Italian man climbing on seats, screaming in Italian, hugging everybody on the way up? I laughed so hard that night I cried which is fitting since I cried from beginning to end in that movie.
Brian has mentioned that win in one of his videos saying he was not a fan of every aspect of it, including the accepting hysteria
I feel like just adding in Walter Matthau's short Oscar speech, purely just because of him poking fun of the fact he fell of his bicycle a few days before he won, and got a few laughs out of it.
Great list, but I was surprised to see Shirley MacLaine and Jessica Yu left off. I hear people quote those speeches all the time.
love director bong' s speech. honoring everyone
Halle Berry’s win and what that did for Black actresses, will always be a side eye for me.
Why a "side eye?"
🤔
Thank you sweetheart.❤ I love your channel.😊❤🎉
I always thought
That when Sally Field won her second Oscar
It was the most honest
Acceptance Speech
Ever Awesome
I find Dustin Hoffman's speech quite pretentious. Hattie McDaniel's win was a milestone - but she wasn't even allowed to say what she wanted. Her speech was reportedly written by the studio and it's so cringy when they made her say she "hopes she'll always be a credit to her race". I agree on the rest of the list, specially Olivia Coleman.
Didn't Hoffman promise to give his Oscar to SAG so the union could display it in their office as encouragement for struggling and out-of-work actors? That never happened! Fortunately, he sounded like a less of a prick when he accepted his second Oscar for "Rain Man."
Disagree with you on Hattie McDaniel, but to each their own.
😮
David Niven's reaction to his win was sweet and given his consummate raconteurism his one sentence got across how much it meant to him more than the usual spiel would have done.
Dustin Hoffman's speech for _Kramer vs. Kramer_ is definitely my favorite of all time. I also loved Jon Voight restraining his emotions while giving one of the most humble acceptance speeches for his win for _Coming Home._ Also, it's not Oscar but I adore Mahershala Ali's SAG speech for _Moonlight._
Joe Pesci was still annoyed they played a clip from Home Alone instead of Goodfellas
When I saw this topic, I assumed Marlee Maitlin would make the list. So imagine my surprise when I saw another sign language speech on this list instead!
And I assumed Troy Kotsur would be. What a speech was that! Huge disappointment he did not make this list
Please rank Tom Hanks' Oscar nominations.
Hey, can you make an Adam Sandler Elusive Oscar video and why he has never been nominated?
I agree with this list, my all time favorite is Olivia Coleman, I always watch it.
Looking forward to see your list of the worst speeches
Joe Pesci should have just simply said “I’m here for your amusement”. And walked off. 😎
yay i found best channel on youtube\
WOW!!! I'm surprised Russell Crowe didn't make your list! His speech is one of my all time favorites. Olivia Colman's speech was so endearing. Julia Roberts?! Granted I am biased because I don't care for her much. Even so her speech although memorable isn't anything that special.
I liked also Ruth Gordon and Barbra Streisand with her famous "Hello Gorgeous"
Renée Zellweger’s acceptance speech for ‘Judy’ was my favorite.
Shirley MacLain's speech should be top 3.
I preferred Olivia Colman’s winning speech at the Golden Globes over her Oscar speech. She was absolutely hilarious and it was the best speech of that night!
For me, Joaquin Phoenix's speech is my favorite, the poem his brother wrote at the end ALWAYS make me choke up
If you want to watch the greatest acceptance speech of all time, watch when Susan Lucci won the Daytime Emmy for Best Actress. It puts all of these Oscar speeches aside. Her speech is so inspiring and you can feel the love and respect from the audience.
My favorite is Adrien Brody's speech as best actor for The Pianist.
How do you not have Leo's speech in the top 10?
Julia Roberts was extremely annoying. Halle Berry was a bit over the top but I get it, it was a dream come true and an historical win. Cuba Gooding Jr. was also annoying. LOL.
I also love Matthew McConaughey.
Sally Feilds for Norma Raye! You like me, you really like me!
Christopher Plummer and Colin Firth's speech
Enjoyed this, but I found it very odd that you didn't actually show the speeches.
Eddie Redmayne and Shirley McLaine speeches
I would have included Emma Thompson's screenplay Oscar for Sense & Sensibility.
Have to agree with Tom Hanks there.
Emma Thompson's both Oscar winning speeches were funny and classy.
No one in movie history deserved an Oscar more than Halle Berry in Monster's Ball.
Nicole Kidman was perfection!
No Troy Kotsur (CODA); Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club); Youn Yuh-jung (Minari); nor FrancisMcDormand (3 billboards outside Ebin/Missouri); Ke Hui-Quan (Everything Everywhere All at Once) and, most recently, Cillian Murphy (Openheimer)? Not even in the honorable mentions? Sorry, this list is incomplete. You have plenty of material for a second video on it, man!
Olivia Coleman is the best.
Daniel Day-Lewis for Lincoln!
I was sitting here going how is Colman or Berry not number one but then I was like O that makes sense haha
olivia colman is a pure delight
My favorite one is Matthew Mcconnaghey wonderful speech, certainly deserved a mention in the video
Where is Viola Davis??? Cmon, that was stunning speech and one of the best!
I wish you would play the parts from the speeches rather than saying them yourself. Great video though.
The speeches from Whoopi Goldberg and Robin Williams are my favorite of all time.
Shirley McClaine ??
The fewer the facts
The stronger the opinion.
Arnold H. Glasgow
Then what did Sally Field say ?
How is this the first time I've realised they display the title of Goodfellas wrong on Peci's acceptance.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Olivia Coleman's speech is a plain Thank You speech. Not political.
Olivia colman:
Lady gaga 😄😄😂😂😂
Cate blanshet :
You are so old to be standing😄😂😂😄
Cate winslet :
I was hold it as a shampoo bottle now it it is not a shampoo bottle 😄😄😂😂
Meashel you :
The girl and boy look like me
Dont pass your prime dont give up 💪💪💪
Meerel streep:
Now amrica will say why her win oscar again 😄😄😂😂😂
Julia Robert's speech was one of the most annoying to me. Not the worst but definitely annoying. She wouldn't shut the hell up lmaoo. She just went on and on. I still love her tho
YO MR. ROWE I WAS ONE OF YOUR STUDENTS AT MENDIVE YOU EMAILED MY MOM FOR BEING ON MY PHONE REMEMBER ME
I don't know if these are the best but definitely the most memorable/iconic, seeing as a lot of them are rather arrogant or infamous (e.g. Sally Field, Julia Roberts calling a respected conductor "stick man", Tom Hanks outting his teacher). Only one I'm shocked isn't here is Matthew Mcconaughey - a truly moving and memorable speech
Jane Fonda for Coming Home
No love for Jamie Foxx’s acceptance speech for Ray?
Jane Fonda and Roberto benigni !!!!!
I always find Halle Berry's speech to be so disingenuous, who believes that to be real crying.
Was that the pigeon lady? 0:44
Yeah, she is....
Brenda Fricker
@@tdad8683 I looked her up and never knew she was an Oscar winner. Of course, I’m most familiar with her work in Home Alone 2 and So I Married an Axe Murderer. Good for her, and her win made history as the first Irish woman to receive an Oscar.
None of them compare to Susan Lucci
I cut it off after you Mentioned Cuba Gooding. To bad will never see the top 5.
No Viola? No Banini? No Caine? idk about this list. number 1 makes sense though due to it creating another film.
The best acceptance moment (not sure if it qualifies as a "speech") was when 20 Feet from Stardom won best documentary and they brought Darlene Love on stage.
ruclips.net/video/sPYyCRqUOVk/видео.html
I also loved Jeff Bridges and his tributes to his parents and his wife. It was sweet, sincere, and didn't cause anyone to turn off the TV.
Viola Davis...
Some excellent choices here. Unfortunately there's probably not a large pool of great Oscar speeches, too many of them (especially over the last few decades) are mostly just a dull recitation of people (agent, co-stars and crew, producers, family, the Academy, sky-daddy) whom the recipient feels obliged to thank publicly; understandable but not the stuff of a memorable speech. Frankly, we the viewers don't care about that - we wanna see and hear how winning the award makes the recipient feel!
Did you see the memorable speech given by Holocaust survivor Gerda Weissmann Klein? Not a household name, but very moving nonetheless.
Matthew McConaughey is up there!
