Oscar Joe’s performance for Goodfellas – one of the shortest in the story

1990 Martin Scarseze’s masterpiece of “Goodfell” is one of the best gangster movies that, if -the, have been made and has a reward to prove it. However, despite their impressive nominations for the six Academy awards, the most respected awards of this industry were largely avoided by the EPIC Mafia – with the exception of one specific gold statuette.

Joe Peski held a fort at the 1991 Academy Academy with his best actor in the Academy Auxiliary role for his strange turn as a changing Tommy Deaf, the wilder card in a movie full of wild cards. He became Actor who wins “Oscar” With his signature, cool intact. However, unlike your character – which as its iconic “I’m funny as?” The show show, in most cases very long -words – the actor decided to keep his speech short and sweet, uttering only five words when he went on stage to get the gold statuette. “This is my privilege. Thank you,” Sands said before going on stage.

Since anyone who watched the Academy Award ceremony, knows well, the laureates often have a borderline long list of people who can thank, and even Best Oscar performances It can work for so long that there is nothing left in the show, how to hit music and play them out of the stage. However, several winners chose a more Spartan approach, saying that their extremely short work and left the stage before the orchestra could dream of the first note.

It is interesting that five words of receiving Joe Peska are far from the shortest speech of Oscar in history. In 1968, Alfred Hichkok linked it, receiving the Irving Memorial Award in Talberg. “Thank you … really very,” the director had to say. In 1953, Gloria Gremem accepted his best reward of the actress for “bad and beautiful” with even greater brevity. “Thank you very much,” she said during an extremely fast stop at the podium. The best performance of actor William Holden for “Stalag 17” in 1954 was equally short: “Thank you.”

For some reason, two winners managed to thicken your speech only in two words: “Thank you”. This simple acceptance was first delivered by Patti Duke in 1963 when she gathered an Oscar for the best actress for a “miraculous worker”. In 2009, director Louis Psyhos did the same in his best documentary speech on the Oscar for “Kahta” – although mainly because DOC producer Fisher Stevens was constantly allocated in his speech, and PSIHOYOS received the microphone only when the orchestra started playing . However, regardless of the circumstances, the Duke and Psychos will manage this particular cookie until someone decides to accept their Oscar with a simple “thank you”.
