speech on acceptance
Answers
Answer:
Dear Backstage reader,
Being your awards editor means having a particular, and almost entirely useless, area of expertise: acceptance speeches.
I re-watch and even commit to memory several of what I consider the best awards ceremony speeches (Meryl Streep’s “There are some days when I myself think I’m overrated...but not today” is a personal favorite), and often find myself rooting for contenders who are likely to give the funniest or most inspirational ones. Whether it’s delivered with genuine shock, tears, laughter, or touching humility, the acceptance speech is its own skill; if you’re an artist aspiring to make great art in Hollywood, it could be part of your job description.
hope it may help you.
Answer:
This week, let’s bid farewell to the year in awards by looking back at the best examples of fabulous acceptance speeches in 2019. What does this roundup have to do with the current film and guild awards season and Backstage’s analysis of contenders? Mostly nothing—although the other factor of acceptance speeches is they could increase a winner’s chances of earning further trophies in the future. It’s entirely conceivable that certain voters, looking at their ballots, are swayed by the memory of seeing a contender onstage holding a statuette, being charming as heck.
Besides, with the holiday season upon us, most of Hollywood’s movers and shakers are setting up out of office responses on their emails and readying for a week or two of rest, before the perfect storm of January’s awards schedule. Don’t expect a letter from me next week, but then stay tuned for reporting on a month of nonstop glamour. Happy New Year! Now, without further ado, we’d like to thank the following winners for their thanks.
After SAG + Globe Noms, This Is Who’s Really Leading the Awards Races
Glenn Close at the Golden Globes
This sits atop this list chronologically, but Close’s heart-on-her-sleeve reaction to winning a best actress Globe for “The Wife” would lead any ranking of the year’s most emotional awards moments. Wiping away tears and speaking with what feels like true spontaneity, she dedicated the victory to her mother and gave a rallying cry to women everywhere. “We have to find personal fulfillment, we have to follow our dreams, we have to say, ‘I can do that and I should be allowed to do that.’ ” I get chills just thinking about it!
