What can I say? I am SO not a fan of "You like me! You really like me!" acceptance speeches, and to me it's uncomfortably intimate when performers verbalize their deepest emotional issues, like their difficult childhoods or their strained relationships with their parents, in front of 6000 live spectators and lord knows how many more on television.
Actually, my all-time favorite award acceptance was Joe Pesci's at the Oscars: "It's my honor", he said, and then walked offstage.

"Sweet summer evenings, hot wine and bread /
Sharing your supper, sharing your bed /
Simple joys have a simple voice:
It says why not go ahead?"
