Part 2 Stars’ Memorable Moment on the Acceptance Speech Sally Field Jack Palance Roberto Benigni Greer Garson She said, “You like me. Right now, you really like me.” He did push-ups. He decided to walk on the chairs instead of the steps to get the stage. He held the record for the longest acceptance speech in history. ■ Script
Those who win an Oscar enter into a whole new competition when they give their acceptance speech: As if walking away with a little gold man wasn’t enough of a feat, they must then make—at the very least—an acceptable acceptance speech in which they remember to thank all the important people.
But of course, it’s better to be memorable.
When Sally Field won for Best Actress in Places in the Heart in 1984, she said, “You like me. Right now, you really like me.”
Everyone loved that speech. Sometimes, it’s actions, not words, that make the speech more memorable.
Jack Palance did push-ups when he won Best Supporting Actor for City Slickers in 1993. But no one can top Roberto Benigni, who in 1999 turned his acceptance speech for “Life is Beautiful” into a virtual Olympic event by deciding to walk on the chairs instead of the steps to get on the stage.
A brief speech is always appreciated by the producers, who will start to play music during the longer ones to try to rush things along.
Greer Garson holds the record for the longest acceptance speech in history, going more than five minutes after picking up a statue for her role in 1942’s Mrs. Miniver.
