Giving a speech is never easy, let alone in front of hundreds of people. Now imagine you have a time limit and if you pass that time limit, you will be cut off by music and applause. Accepting an Oscar is not only stressful but exciting, which makes it hard to acknowlege everyone that has contributed to your success. Here are some of the most memorable Oscar acceptance speeches.

Cuba Gooding Jr. won Best Supporting Actor for his role in //Jerry Maguire// in 1997. At the time, he wasn't a very popular actor, but in this moment he sure does make a name for himself! Today, his acceptance speech remains one of the most outrageous moments in Oscar history because Cuba continues his speech as the orchestra tries to cut him off! **Click on the picture below to view Cuba's acceptance speech on YouTube.**

Julia Roberts is one of my favourite actresses. Not only is her smile contagious, but her performances are outstanding. Here she accepts the award for Best Actress in 2001 for her lead role in //Erin Brokovich.// Julia's performance in this film was so amazing that she won the Golden Globe for Best Actress and Screen Actor's Guild Award for Best Actress that year. Julia's excitement during her speech in 2001 enthused the crowd. Here she is! **Click on the picture below to view Julia's acceptance speech on YouTube. **  You probably know Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as actors. But the childhood friends were awarded the Oscar for Best Orginal Screenplay in 1998. Their screenplay, //Good Will Hunting,// tells the story of a janitor who works at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Their acceptance speech is memorable because of their honesty; as you watch the video clip, you'll notice that the men are rushed to meet a 20 second time limit. **Click on the picture below to view Ben & Matt's acceptance speech on YouTube. **
