And the Oscar goes to...


Making an Acceptance Speech

Hello everyone!
This is our first post, so let's get started.

Here's what you have to do.

Imagine you've won a competition, an award or a prize. Now you have to speak in front of everyone to thank the people who helped you get the award, say how you are feeling, talk about your career, etc. What are you going to say in your acceptance speech?

If you need some inspiration, check Kate Winslet's acceptance speech at the Oscar Awards after winning the Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role for the movie The Reader. It's one of my favourites. The video is a bit long, so start watching it on 5min45sec.

  1. Oh my God! I cannot believe it... Is this real? Well, first at all, I'd like to thanks God. Without Him it couldn't be possible.
    I'd like to thanks my family to, they were there for me in every moment and that is so important to me. And finally, I am very thankful to the production of the movie, the director Steven Spielberg and all my fans that make this dream real. Thank you guys, thanks Oscar Academy!

  3. Well, i hope to be awake, because if this is just a dream... i don't want to wake up anymore! First, i want to thank God for this award. Without him, perhaps neither i nor you would be here. During my whole carrer, i received incentives from my family, my friends and from everyone who belived in me. And that is it why i owe everything to them. Thank you family, thank God, and thanks to everyone who made me a held man!

  5. Thank you everyone who fought with me and helped me so much, staying by my side always. And all times it seems everything will be wrong, be strong, the strongest possible, the secret to success is persistence! i`m very very lucky to have had people around me so special, if you asked me four years ago, i never imagined winning here is the oscar dream, and now here, i`m sorry i cant belive..!
