ACCEPTANCE SPEECH\nWow. Wow. All right, so I'm not winning director. It's the funny thing about winning an Academy Award, it will always be synonymous with your name from here on in. It will be Oscar winner, George Clooney. Sexiest Man Alive, 1997. Batman, died today in a freak accident at a -- Listen, I don't quite know how you compare art. You look at these performances this year, of these actors and unless we all did the same role, everybody put on a bat suit, and we'll all try that. Unless we all did the same role, I don't know how you compare it. They are stellar performances and wonderful work, and I'm honored, truly honored to be up here. And finally, I would say that, you know, we are a little bit out of touch in Hollywood every once in a while. I think it's probably a good thing. We're the ones who talk about AIDS when it was just being whispered, and we talked about civil rights when it wasn't really popular. And we, you know, we bring up subjects. This Academy, this group of people gave Hattie McDaniel an Oscar in 1939 when blacks were still sitting in the backs of theaters. I'm proud to be a part of this Academy. Proud to be part of this community, and proud to be out of touch. And I thank you so much for this.

In my opinion, I feel Tom Hanks because of one film "Forrest Gump". It is really hard to play a person with disabilities and make it believable.

Loved the movie. I wish we had the "Eye for an Eye" punishment. Those punks deserve the same thing.\nI am a sraight grandmother of 9, have a gay brother & lots of gay friends. They are the most caring people in the world.

He's won a lot of awards but I can't remember him ever winning an Oscar. Although he should have for Trees Lounge and Ghost World.

We saw it in the theater, and it was great.  Reese Witherspoon did AWESOME and totally deserved the Golden Globe and Oscar.  And Joaquin Pheniox looks like he was BORN to play Johnny Cash.  What a resemblence!

ME! One of my faves also. It was the first "serious" movie I ever watched and Natalie Portman made a big impression on me. I was pretty young so I  wanted to learn to be a "Professional" like she did for a while... is that weird?

Well, rightfully so.\n\nVerlander was the clear cut winner for the award.  Had Liriano and Papelbon both stayed healthy, it may have been a different story, but that wasnt the case.\n\nIt was nice to see someone with my name win something too!

He should but the Oscars really don't say anything it's more of a popularity contest than it is acknowledging people's work in my opinion.  Johnny Depp is one of the greatest actors ever.  He is so versatile and very funny, if you watch most of his movies he has a very sarcastic subtle sense of humor, I love this about him.  \n\nSo even if he never wins an Oscar people will continue to see his movies because he is in them.  That says a lot about an actor.

I don't think so.  I believe that one of the biggest components to making the movie so great was the controversial tone of it.  The movie had great cinematography; but without the edge of the characters interplay, it wouldn't have had a whole lot of substance.

Alright... at the risk of being harrassed - I am a guy who just saw "A Walk In The clouds" this week. And I loved it.\n  It is one of the best written/acted/casted/directed movies I have ever seen. \n  it had the "ahhhhhhh..." factor that grabbed your heart.\n And the photography was amazing in that the "dream like" quality of the winery/orchard as opposed to the harsher more realistic photography of New York and the town in California just added to the whole effect.\n   The actor who played Victoria's father should have won a major award, and Anthony Quinn was CLASSIC as the grandfather. Even Keanau Reeves, who I have always regarded as more of a "face" than an actor, did a marvelous job.\n  Two thumbs WAAAAAy up!

Grace Kelly gets my vote.... Mother, Wife, Actress & Princess....all done with class and finesse...as much inner beauty as external....and such a tragic end!

I agree.  I think Matthew McConaughey and Hugh Jackman are total babes.

They thank them because they appreciate their contribution.  It's almost like being on a team.  If you're teammate (or co-star) does a good job, it usually reflects on you as well.  I think it's nice they thank their co-stars.  I liked it when Reese Witherspoon thanked Joaquin Phoenix for him being a big part in why she received an Oscar for Walk The Line.  If Joaquin didn't play such a good Johnny Cash, it would have been more difficult for Reese to have gotten the honor that she did.  It's called "being gracious" and "appreciative".
