If there is a guarantee of the Academy Awards, the show will have jokes about how long the ceremony itself is. Sometimes, those jokes far exceed the number of ceremonies that actually last long. In addition, this is probably just as accurate for other great awards, such as the "Golden Globes" and "Emmy", but often feels the most specifically true for the Oscars.

The term is simple enough: because Oscars Air on Network Television, even with the reality that it is a live event that unexpected any number of things can happen, the show should end at some point - even if it means that they will receive certain rewards shortened or speeches are shortened. The second is the most common thing; We have all seen a speech to be cut off no matter what, no matter who is on the camera. Yes, for the last few great awards, as the best actor or best actress, people who run the show tend to allow the winners to go a little long in their speeches (but only a little).

Of course, it is equally true that the Academy Awards are given golden statues before the television arrives. As the Academy is rapidly approaching 100 years of awards, they are only broadcast on television since March 1953 (When the best Oscar went to the eventual film series turned into the movie "The Largest Show on Earth"). Perhaps it explains the fact that one time, the acceptance speech has passed long - how, Six minutes Long - and still manages to be among the deepest and moving awards monologues so far delivered. But although that may still be true, it is also potentially the reason why you talk about acceptance today never reach such lengths.

By the time he starred in the drama in 1942 "Ms Minier" by director William Weiler, Grier Garson was already nominated twice for the best actress in the Oscars. The film, in which she plays the title, will not only provide the actor her third overall nomination, but also Mark The second of the five direct nodes Garson found himself in the category. As for this writing, her seven nominations for the best actress make the fourth all the time in the category.

"Mrs Miniivers" was a big hit at the Oscar -held ceremony on March 4, 1943, where he additionally won the best picture, the best director and best actress. It is also a noticeable piece of Oscar history because it is the first Oscar winner with a great time, which is specifically focused on World War II (as well as the first film to receive five separate acting nominations). So, in a way, the fact that a) Garson won the Oscar and B), she got a lot of runway to go long in her acceptance speech, should not surprise. The film's wins were not even unexpected; It was a film that practically everyone predicted to steam all other candidates in their categories, as when the Titanic won 11 of the 14 Oscars in the late 1990s.

What is sincerely quite extraordinary about Garson's acceptance speech is that the parts that have survived decades through Newsreel Do not make up all the full speechHowever, they still consider about four minutes worth what he said on stage. Anyone with a fleeting closeness to the prizes will not be too shocked by the general bow of what Garson had to say, from recognizing how important and significant only to nominate to praise other big players in the film itself. It should also be noted that Garson came to the states in the late 1930s, making a rather recent immigrant at the time of winning the trophy. Given the influence of World War II on Hollywood and the world in its entirety, it is not a shock that Garson has recognized the desirable moment, citing: "(Q) raising from our government and our armed forces and abroad (...) should make determined to continue. "

Garson also spent a lot of time recognition What meant being a recent transplant of states, a kind of exciting feeling that is too conscientious to hear in the year of our Lord 2025. On the other hand, we should note that Garson had a tendency to naked more than a little; That she was able to quote Louis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" in the middle of her speech was both an exemplary and good sign that she wanted to milk her time on stage as much as possible. Yes, it is applicable that Dodo obviously said: "Everyone has won and everyone will have a reward" In terms of Oscar nominees to be the winners of their ownership for a whale, but at the same time, it is a kind of thing that is guaranteed to These days you play you from the orchestra.

Since 2010, time is pretty simple: Oscar winners have 45 seconds for their acceptance speeches. Again, it's not always true, as Recent winners like Silian Murphy and Christopher Nolan for Oppenheimer May had a little way, given the awards they accept, as well as the film itself. But the general rule is that, with a few exceptions, you have less than a minute. We cannot know for sure whether Garson's acceptance speech was a straw that broke the camel's back. (Although there were footage of the newspapers of the event, regular annual TV -productions at the ceremony would not have happened for another decade.) But many believe that her long monologue, no matter how much power to meet in the American film industry as itus. For the power to be nominated by your peers, it was what made the Oscars firmly encourage their winners to keep things.

The idea of ​​a long speech to accept the Oscars can be seen as an industry atem, if not the network that is broadcasting the ceremony. But although Garson could probably keep things a little shorter, the fact that she went on stage and spoke extremely for so long, managing to do it all, without writing something in advance (YouTube's relationship above can only show A. A short piece From her speech, but she doesn't read from any index cards or the like), she's amazing. Today's set of winners, even among the big categories, rarely attracts the attention of the audience in the same way, and when they do so, it is usually because they go big in the way they accept, not a monologue. (Think of something like Cuba Gooding, the exciting, however, did not repeat Jrunior's acceptance of "Jerry Maguier."
