It worked for...
Julia Roberts, Best Actress, ‘Erin Brockovich’, 2001
‘Like me! Like me!’ Cloying and annoying, the worst acceptance speeches try really hard. Points to Julia Roberts, who doesn’t go for in for gushy or hyperventilating. No one looks more like a vintage Hollywood movie star. But crucially, Roberts also comes across as a fully paid-up human being.
That smile sets her off laughing, and she tells the conductor to sit down so he can’t cut her off with the orchestra: ‘I may never get the chance to be here again.’ Goofy and funny, she’s exactly like her character in ‘Pretty Woman’. Standing there, hand on hip, she’s having the time of her life. Watch to the end for her ecstatic: ‘I love it up here!’
