The best acceptance speeches are the ones that are "winged." The ones that are emotional and spur of the moment. I hate when people read their speeches off of a note card. It strikes me as a bit pompous.
Kringas--- Jennifer Hudson for Sainthood!!!!
doodle--- ...or ho, either way.
And Effie Im TIRED--- Seems that you have more than ONE complaint about this board... And huge bitches who live in glass houses shouldn't call the kettle black!
...Or something like that.
* waits for Kringas or doodle to think that was a racial comment or an attack on Beyonce *
Not to mention a diss to "thick" women.
alls I know is, Beyonce loves kettle potato chips...coincidence?
Okay, you got me.
Dang, doodle, you always call me on my sh*t.
* giggles just a little at "dang doodle" *
Kalimba - I know! That was the point. Har har. I actually really love Earth, Wind, & Fire.
Best12bars- How dare you call Beyonce a big black kettle! Was that a racist comment?

Jennifer Hudson pooped on Beyonce's shoes.
everyone always giggles at my dang doodle!
J-Hud doesn't poop. She's a celebrity now.
A brief comic interruption, courtesy of David Spade . . . his prediction on Beyonce's reaction if Jennifer Hudson won.

"J-Hud doesn't poop. She's a celebrity now."
Yes she does, but she has Anika to wipe her butt now.
doodle: That just made me do a spit-take, because in Guatemala a "nika" is a type of bedpan for toddlers. Thus, "Yes she does, but she has a nika to wipe her butt now" has a different meaning to me. I was, like, "My, potties have become very high-tech since I was a babe."
Effie Im TIRED, I liked you're speech.
:-]
She was one of hte few people that actually seemed to CARE that they won an Oscar. It's kinda a big deal and most people are like "whatever, I'd like to thank my agent, the gang down at Sony"...blah
That's why I've been a fan of Anika Noni Rose, when she won her tony she cried and talked about how she dreamed of winning one as a child
It makes them relatable...and likeable :)
I don't think they don't care. They are overwhelmed. Not all people start crying and yelling when they get overwhelmed. Some get quiet.
I loved the guy who won the first award of the night. It was for Pan's Labyrinth, I think for Art Direction. While he was giving his speech, his hand holding his piece of paper was shaking so hard. It was adorable. My mom wanted to give him a hug.
I do have to say, I was sooooo Happy when she thanked J-Hol. That Made the night for me.
She could have thanked Michael Bennett. No one involved with the film that won an award thanked him. He deserved a little kudos.
