Oscars 2013: Remembering The Most Famous Infamous Speeches Ever

8. Christopher Plummer - Best Supporting Actor (Beginnings)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=883H6gNZyGM When he picked up his Best Supporting Actor Oscar last year for his charming and eloquent performance in Beginnings, Christopher Plummer spoke to his Oscar. The 82 year old screen legend asked the little gold man "where have you been all my life?" This opening quip set the tone for Plummer's acceptance speech, which was a well versed and well delivered speech, and what more would you expect from an actor who had been performing Shakespeare for over 50 years? Plummer bobs and weaves through his speech with grace and class, taking time to honor his director, co-stars, producers and management, all the while peppering it along with the way with a brilliant delivery and a kick of humor. He then out pours his emotions as he thanks his wife of 40 plus years, Elaine, in one of the great "Awwww" moments at the Oscars.. This is what a great Oscar speech should be, to the meat and bones of the matter, and also the heart too.
