Is this the most annoying acceptance speech of all time?





WOW you somehow forgot Angelina’s name, how AMUSING! It’s not like she was your greatest competition in this award or anything.

It surprises me how such a talented actress can give a speech which is so obviously sickly and fake. I'm guessing her performance in Revolutionary Road isn't this see-through. I am not buying this 'girl next door' persona she still seems to be milking. It's not like she hasn't been doing this sort of thing for the past 10+ years. I have much more respect for someone who can just give a simple thank you and actually just be themselves. The Coen Brothers acceptance speeches at the 2008 Oscars were genius!

The fact she is playing a character within the holocaust as a device to primarily chase awards means Ricky Gervais was a little closer to the truth than we initially though in his sitcom/satire Extras.

Although despite its toe-curling annoyingness, this PR stunt means her award win inevitably will go down in history. Mention a female acceptance speech and everyone remembers Halle Berry’s emotional breakdown on the Oscar podium, but at least this seemed relatively genuine and was in fact entertaining, albeit in a weird way.

Ultimately I cannot blame Kate for salvaging the moment at the expense of everyone else’s impatience, it is the globes after all. She might as well try and give the ceremony some significance as the world has got their eyes on the real prize, the Oscars.
