The greatest night to celebrate the excellence of the cinema. The night becomes much more unforgettable with great speeches. From laughter to some serious tear-jerkers, here are some of the most popular Academy Award speeches of all time. One of the most cherished dreams of anyone who is working in the entertainment industry or specifically from movie industries around the world is to hold an Oscar in their hands. And if that wish is granted, then you just have 90 seconds to voice your emotions on stage. Quite difficult, isn’t it? But even so, there have been legendary stars who have touched our hearts in more than one way with their wonderful speeches. Lupita Nyong’o’s best-supporting actress Oscar speech in the year 2014 When this young debutant bagged the prestigious award for her heartfelt portrayal of Patsey in the movie “Twelve years a slave”, the moment was euphoric. She indeed was glowing in a Prada outfit and spoke about her heartfelt emotion as she thanked her co-stars and team of the film. She stole the show by ending her speech by paying tribute to her brother and best friend before adding that may her award remind everyone that no matter where they are from, their dreams are valid. Frances McDormand’s best actress Oscar speech in the year 2018 When Frances McDormand won her well-deserved Oscar for the “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri”, she took an opportunity to teach audiences a thing or two about inclusion riders, which is a stipulation that actors and actresses can get in their contracts which will require the movie to have a specific level of diversity within the cast and crew of the movie. She very boldly remarked that do not talk about it at the parties, invite the artists in the offices and then talk about it and she is leaving everyone with just two words tonight that is inclusion rider. Leonardo DiCaprio’s best actor speech in the year 2016 When Leonardo DiCaprio got his first well-deserved Oscar for the movie “The Revenant”, all eyes were on him, after all this day came after a lot of perseverance and five Oscar nomination. But instead of giving all the emotional speech that everyone hoped for. He talked about some of the more pressing issues such as climate change and how real the danger is. He ended the speech with powerful words that we must not take the planet for granted like he does not take this night for granted. So, which one of these is your favourite?
