Stars Shine at the 76th Oscars
Over the years Oscar has been held on to tighter than any other arts award in the world. This heavy gold-1)plated statue has become 2)arguably more famous than many of the actors and filmmakers he is awarded to.
Oscar in the Stars’ Eyes
(Best Picture & Best Directing, 1995) Mel Gibson: Let me see, he’s like a little too tall, a little too thin on the waist, a little too broad on the shoulder. Not 3)anatomically correct apparently, not anatomically correct at all.
(Best Picture & Best Directing, 2001) Ron Howard: Oscar? 4)Elusive, but once you’ve made friends, very comforting.
(Best Actress in a Leading Role, 2002) Nicole Kidman: I see it more like a young, a little fairy, and puts some fairy dust on you because it’s so much like a magical kinda blessing.
(Best Actor in a Supporting Role, 1999) Michael Caine: I always see the Oscar as 5)John Houston, very sort of confident, reassuring, you know the way John talks, you always know everything was going to be alright.
Julia Roberts’ Speech on Remembering Katherine Hepburn Traditionally at the Oscars we take a look back at the artists that our community has lost. This year we lost a true legend, Miss Catherine Hepburn. When one thinks of her one immediately thinks of her 6)irrepressible spirit, her 7)swaggering confidence, but mostly her 8)indomitable sense of humor in the roles she played and in her own life. Who else would say of her craft, “Acting is the most minor of gifts and not a very high class way to earn a living. After all, Shirley Temple could do it at the age of four.”
She was also a pioneer when it came to fashion, at a time when it was really quite radical she wore pants and became so famous for it that when Barbara Walters once interviewed her and asked her quite 9)pointedly “Kate, you always wear pants, do you even own a skirt?” Hepburn replied, “I have one, Miss Walters, I’ll wear it to your funeral.”
An original, a classic, never to be replaced, always to be remembered, Catherine Hepburn.
Best Actress Charlize Theron’s Thank-you Speech
Oh this has been such an incredible year. I can’t believe this. I don’t have a lot of time. I have to thank my incredible director, Patty Jenkins. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Every single person who worked on this film, I couldn’t have done it without you guys. And if I’m forgetting anybody, please don’t kill me. 10)And I know everybody in New Zealand has been thanked, so I’m going to thank everybody in South Africa, my home country. They’re all watching tonight. And I’m bringing this home next week. And, my mom: you’ve sacrificed so much for me to be able to live here and make my dreams come true. And there are no words to describe how much I love you. And I’m not gonna cry. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

第76屆奧斯卡頒獎晚會精選
多年來，奧斯卡比世界上的其他任何同類獎項都更被人重視一些。事實證明，這尊沉甸甸的鍍金小雕像變得比許多獲獎的演員和電影制作人都更加聲名顯赫。
明星眼中的奧斯卡
梅爾·吉伯遜：讓我看一下，他高了點，腰細了點，肩膀寬了點——這明顯不合人體比例，根本就不合人體比例。
羅恩·霍華德：奧斯卡？是個難以捉摸的家伙，可一旦你和他交上朋友，就會覺得很來勁。
尼歌·基曼：我覺得它像一個小仙子，把仙粉撒在你身上，因為它就像一個奇妙的祝福。
邁克爾·凱恩：我總是覺得奧斯卡就像約翰·休斯頓，很自信、很可靠，你也知道，約翰和你說話的時候，你總是覺得一切都會好的。
朱麗亞·羅伯茨致辭懷念凱瑟琳·赫本
通常，在奧斯卡頒獎晚會上，我們會追憶已故的藝術家。今年，我們失去了一位真正的傳奇人物——凱瑟琳·赫本女士。當我們想到她的時候，會立刻想起她堅強不屈的精神、她昂首闊步的信心，而且更多的是想起她那不服輸的幽默感，這種幽默感不僅在她所扮演的角色中，更在她的生活里體現出來。有誰還會對她的演技說三道四呢？因為她曾說過，“演戲不過是最微不足道的本領，并不是一種高尚的謀生手段，畢竟，秀蘭·鄧波兒在四歲的時候就可以演了?！?BR> 她還是時尚的先鋒。女子穿長褲在當時是一件十分前衛(wèi)的事，而因為這件事她變得世人皆知，以至芭芭拉·沃爾特斯有一次訪問她的時候直截了當地問道：“凱特，你總是穿長褲，一條裙子你還是有的吧？”赫本回答道：“我有一條，沃爾特斯小姐，那是留著在你的葬禮上穿的?！?BR> 她就是這樣一個特立獨行的人，一個大藝術家，任何人也無法代替的、永遠值得懷念的凱瑟琳·赫本。
查理斯·塞隆獲“女主角”的致謝辭
噢，今年是非常令人難以置信的一年，我真不敢相信。我沒有多少時間了，我必須感謝我的導演帕蒂·詹金斯，他是個了不起的導演。謝謝！謝謝！謝謝！我還要感謝每一位為這部電影付出過努力的人。沒有你們，我就無法取得今天的成就。如果我忘記了提到哪位該感謝的，請不要殺了我。我知道新西蘭的每一位都已經被謝過了，我打算再對南非的所有人表示感謝，那里是我的祖國。祖國的人們今晚都在觀看這里的一切，下周我就會把小金像帶回家鄉(xiāng)去的。還有我的媽媽，為了我能夠生活在這里、實現我的夢想，你為我犧牲了太多。我找不到任何合適的語言來表達我對您的愛。我不會哭的，謝謝！謝謝！謝謝大家！
