Whatever your craft is put pen to paper and write a speech in response to being recognised for your great achievements - realised or imagined!
Who are you going to thank? From your past and your present. Professional to personal.
Will you mention the person/people you propelled you into seeking the utmost excellence of your craft?
Will you make a business, personal, political or social comment?
Will you keep it short and sweet like Joe Pesci?
Private yet inspiring like Steven Soderbergh?
Or will you ramble on like Julia Roberts et al.?
This article has an interesting take on the do's and don'ts of speech making. What do you think?
Write the speech simply for yourself or for the world at large. I encourage you to enjoy the doing.
I don't care who you are. When you sit down to write the first page of your screenplay, in your head, you're also writing your Oscar acceptance speech - Nora Ephron
Is there a movie I think I should have won the Oscar for? Yeah. All of them - Morgan Freeman
