Oscars As I gear myself up for the marathon which is the Oscars (see you at five in the morning) here are some acceptance speeches of the past. Like an an acid flashback we have Gwyneth's marathon from 1998:

"I thank my family... my grandpa Buster. I want you to know that you have created a beautiful family who loves you and loves each other more than anything, and we thank you for that."

And Dustin Hoffman on winning for Rain Man:

"I'd also thank Tom Hanks, Max Von Sydow, Edward James Olmos and my good friend Gene Hackman for their wonderful work, even if they didn't vote for me... I didn't vote for you guys either."
