As you have probably noticed from my earlier posts, I tend to get very excited about both the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards each year. I am always overwhelmed with joy when I see my favourite actors, actresses, directors, and films finally receiving the recognition they truly deserve. These nights are always a great time for stunning fashion, hilarious hosting, as well as amazing thank you speeches.
I love seeing the unscripted emotions of my favourite stars when their dreams become a reality. As a result, I sometimes go to YouTube and click on a few of my favourite thank you speeches when I need some inspiration and motivation for my own dreams. Therefore, I wanted to share this little hobby of mine with you all as I focus this week’s Tuesday Top 10 on a few of my all-time favourite Oscar speeches. I thought this would be a fun way to get you all on my anticipation level for this Sunday’s 87th Academy Awards.
