Best quotes from 2010 Oscars acceptance speeches
|
|
The Oscars must have been given away, but the stars and their words at the prestigious ceremony are still echoing and would stay in people's mind for long.
Walking on the red carpet, Gabourey Sibide, nominated for Best Actress for 'Precious', based on the novel 'Push' by Sapphire, commented on her dress: "If fashion was porn, this dress is the money shot."
Sandra Bullock was asked what she wanted to eat after the Awards.
"I'm thinking a cheeseburger, and some fries, deep-fried fries, like, twice-fried. And oh, maybe a milkshake of some kind," the New York Daily News quoted her as saying.
Tina Fey, on this being the Oscars and not the Emmys: "You can tell - everyone is taller and better looking."
Meryl Streep on her favourite part of Oscars night: "Getting inside and sitting down."
Host for the night, Steve Martin commented on Streep: "She has the most nominations - or as I like to think of it, the most losses."
Steve Martin on Kathryn Bigelow's nomination gift to ex-husband James Cameron: "She sent him a gift basket with a timer," referring to the homemade bombs in her movie 'The Hurt Locker'.
Robert Downey Jr. in presenting the award for best original screenplay, on actors and screenwriters working together: "It's a collaboration between handsome gifted people and sickly little mole people."
Co-presenter Tina Fey, representing the writers: "It's really not. You just say whatever [we tell you to] say." (ANI)

New York Statesman

We work strenuously to bring our readers a completely independent perspective of New York news. Our software programmers, editors, journalists and affiliated wire services are all dedicated to producing the best journalism possible.
This in a world where conflicts of interest pervade business empires, and political dynasties, and where a shrinking number of media proprietors are growing their interests at the expensive of diversity of media ownership. The New York Statesman is an independent online newspaper. Our focus primarily is to produce the latest breaking stories out of New York.
We also cover the nation. Regional news too is a priority, as is our extensive world news coverage. For a New York weather report, local news, breaking international headlines, or what's happening in sports, the New York Statesman is for you.
Our Business Centre too is active 24 hours a day, bringing you the latest market updates from key global centres like Tokyo, Sydney, London, Paris, Berlin, and New York. Foreign exchange rates are a regular feature, and we provides a vast range of general interest news covering topics like business travel, seniors, womens interest, and lifestyle stories. |
