Meryl
Streep
When
Meryl
Streep
won
the
award
for
The
Iron
Lady
in
2012,
she
poked
fun
at
herself
for
the
numerous
nominations
and
Oscar
wins
she
had
had
before.
The
actress
took
the
stage
by
saying,
"When
they
called
my
name,
I
had
this
feeling
I
could
hear
half
of
America
going,
'Oh
no.
Come
on...
Her,
again?".
She
sassily
quipped
"But,
whatever" leaving
everyone
in
splits.
Joaquin
Phoenix
Joaquin
Phoenix
took
home
the
Best
Actor
award
back
in
2020
and
took
the
time
to
call
attention
to
serious
causes.
While
delivering
the
message
of
unity,
Joaquin
said,
"Whatever
the
cause
was
close
to
a
person's
heart,
be
it
gender
inequality,
racism
or
animal
rights
--
we're
talking
about
the
fight
against
injustice.
We're
talking
about
the
fight
against
the
belief
that
one
nation,
one
people,
one
race,
one
gender
or
one
species
has
the
right
to
dominate,
control
and
use
and
exploit
another
with
impunity."
Common
and
John
Legend
Common
and
John
Legend
won
the
Oscar
for
original
song
titled
"Glory" from
Ava
DuVernay's
directorial
Selma.
It
was
the
same
year
that
The
Academy
faced
backlash
due
to
the
#OscarsSoWhite
controversy
and
became
part
of
the
big
conversation.
The
acclaimed
film
Selma
unfortunately
had
been
snubbed
for
nods
in
the
major
categories
and
took
home
only
one
award.
Julia
Roberts
Julia
Roberts
won
the
Best
Actress
in
2000
for
her
role
in
Erin
Brockovich.
The
actress
who
took
longer
than
the
allotted
time
to
finish
her
speech,
had
a
hilarious
moment
on
stage
as
she
said,
"Stick
man
I
see
you".
She
then
burst
into
laughter
and
said
"I
love
it
up
here".
Take
a
look:
Sally
Field
Sally
Field
who
won
the
Oscars
in
1985,
was
taking
home
the
honour
for
the
second
time.
However,
during
her
acceptance
speech,
she
confessed
that
the
second
win
meant
more
to
her.
The
actress
who
demanded
respect
from
the
industry
said,
"I
haven't
had
an
orthodox
career,
and
I've
wanted
more
than
anything
to
have
your
respect,"
she
added,
"I
can't
deny
the
fact
that
you
like
me.
Right
now,
you
like
me!"
