The speeches are arguably the most memorable parts of any Oscar ceremony. More than the wins themselves, the speeches are what people talk about the next day. We can hate the Academy for its decisions, but if the winner gives a worthy speech, we might actually forget about our contempt. A great Oscar speech can make or break a ceremony; enough great ones, and we might consider the whole thing a victory, even if the Academy’s choices leave us scratching our heads.
An ecstatic Field took the podium and delivered a tearful and breathless speech, thanking her co-stars and her family. Most memorably, Field thanked the Academy, stating all she wanted was their respect; thus, by awarding her a second Oscar, the infamously elitist Academy “liked her.” It was a refreshingly honest and unabashed reaction, and while many were critical of her candor, time has been very kind to this now-iconic speech.
5. Marion Cotillard, Best Actress Everything, and I truly do mean everything, about Marion Cotillard’s Oscar win is incredible. Her genuinely shocked reaction upon hearing her name; her fellow nominees’ excitement at hearing Cotillard declared the winner; her spectacular Jean Paul Gaultier gown. All fell into place to allow her to deliver one of the most memorable, earnest, and refreshing speeches in Oscar’s long and messy history.
An emotional Colman arrived on stage, proclaiming how surreal the experience was. She proceeded with a delightfully rambling speech where she acknowledged Lanthimos and the film’s cast and crew, talked about her former work as a cleaner, thanked her husband, and name-dropped Close, Sam Rockwell, Frances McDormand, and Lady Gaga. Colman is a remarkably spontaneous and genuine woman who can make the phone book funny with her comedic timing.
2. Ruth Gordon, Best Supporting Actress The one and only Ruth Gordon won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1969 for her scene-stealing performance in the horror movie Rosemary’s Baby. It’s not always that the Academy acknowledges horror; even rarer is recognizing a role as wacky as Minnie Castevet. Yet, for once, Academy voters thought outside the box and honored Gordon’s incredible performance.
