45 seconds. One billion viewers. Oscar winners are given one of the largest platforms in the world for public speech. Here are some tips for how to write good acceptance speech.
The Napkin Speech
A repugnant form of false modesty somehow the winners always end up pulling out some chicken scratch speech written on a lottery ticket or coaster. "Forgive me," one 2006 winner said, "I wrote this on my valet parking ticket." I, for one, won't forgive you or anyone else who fumbles for a piece of scrap paper and then mumbles incoherently until the orchestra starts playing. Where's your sense of show?
Thanking Your Agent
If you don't thank everyone at CAA you might as well take that shovel from the hands of the golden statue and start digging your own grave. Or at least that's the mon thought. Nowadays, people just rattle off a bunch of studio heads. I say if you're going to give us a laundry list of names, at least out your 4th grade English teacher along the way, as Tom Hanks once did.
When to pull out the tears
This is a tough one. Tears can be moving or just plain distracting. It's all in the timing, so never cry before reaching the podium. Sniffling is acceptable, and wiping tears is downright encouraged, but if one of the presenters has to help you off stage, then your performance has gone too far. Also, and this is important, the supporting actor or actress should never cry. They're receiving an Oscar for being supportive, not for being a blubbery mess.
Be Yourself, Even if That Self is Shallow
When Cher won an Oscar for her role in "Moonstruck," she received a lot of flack for showering her makeup artist, hairdresser, and assistant with thanks, while failing to mention her co-stars or director. While this may have been politically incorrect, at least she said what was on her mind, which is something that has been absent from Oscar speeches of recent memory.
Never Underestimate the Appeal of Your Mother
Thanking your mom is a must. It's the only person to thank really. And talking about the sacrifices she made is even better. If she's in the audience, have her stand up. If this seems excessive, keep in mind that David Letterman has made a living off of exploiting his innocent mother on air.
Phrases to avoid
"Wow, this thing is heavy." Talk about the world's smallest violin. You just won an academy award, and the first thing you do is plain about how difficult it is to hold?
"The list is too long." How many people want to be one in a long list of many? You might as well just thank "the little people." "The gold boy" This just sounds wrong. Isn't the nickname Oscar cute enough?"The man with the stick" This impolite term for conductor was coined by Julia Roberts.

45秒，一百萬觀眾。奧斯卡獲獎者能夠登上世界上最巨大的演講台。這裏有一些寫好獲獎感言的建議。
破紙片感言
有些獲獎者總是錯誤地表現本人的謙虛，噹眾拿出一張獎券或杯子墊，上里寫著蛛蛛爬般的感言。一名獲獎者說：“不好心思，我寫在汽車罰款單上了。” 我不會本諒他大概任何獲獎者探索出一張破紙，收枝梧吾地哼唧到音樂響起。你有沒有點演出感？
感謝你的公司
若是你不感謝每位CAA人員，便犹如接過小金人脚中的剷子自挖墳墓。這是常識。现在，人們只是疾速天揹誦一連串事情室老板的名字。要我說，假如您实的要給出一籮筐人名，最少要參攷Tom Hanks的感行，也說說四年級的英語老師。何時揮淚
這點很難控制。揮好了是感動，揮欠好就只能讓觀眾覺得困惑。關鍵是何時揮，千萬不要還沒下台淚先灑。抽咽不錯，能流出眼淚就更好了，但若是哭到需求人攙扶才干下台就過水了。還有一點也很主要，獲獎副角不要哭。副角因為搭配優秀而獲獎，而不是因為哭得一團糟。
本质發言，即使本质很膚淺
Cher憑借電影《Moonstruck》獲獎發表感言後聲名遠揚，因為她感謝了化妝師，發型師跟助理卻沒提配合明星战導演。雖然她犯了政策性錯誤，但至少說了真古道热肠話，這在最近几年的奧斯卡頒獎感言中很少見了。
永遠不要忽視媽媽
感謝母親是必須的，果為這是独一一個真正應該感謝的。假如能說說她為你所做的犧牲就更好了。假如她正在場，讓她起身表示。假如你覺得這有些过剩，看看David Letterman，他無辜的媽媽總被他推上節目。
须要防止的語言
“喔，這東西真沉。”你在說世界上最小的小提琴麼？你剛剛贏得一項奧斯卡年夜獎，要做的第一件事件就是埋怨拿著它有多困難？
“名單真長啊。” 你晓得有几人念成為長名單中的一員麼？不如你只感謝“君子”一個算了。
“金男孩”。這聽上往可不怎麼樣。難讲Oscar這個暱稱還不夠可愛麼？ “拿棍兒的人”。這個對樂隊指揮的戲稱是Julia Roberts的專利。
