Frances McDormand - Best Oscar speech ever

Rating: Null/10 (11 February 2004)

It's unbelievable that even after Frances McDormand showed us what speeches ought to be like, people keep making silly Oscar speeches after another. However, I must confess that although I did like her, at the time I didn't really understand why she won an Oscar for the acting in Fargo.
Now after all these years, I think I know. Frances McDormand adds and essence of comfort and balance to this violent story, and that is not what every person can do. Certainly not many who have been soaked in Hollywood.
I truly admire that she's a type of a person who can walk up to the end of the red carpet and say that it's great that five women were given complicated rows. That she appreciates the Academy not for recognizing her, but for acknowledging their work. That instead of trying to squeeze in all the unknown names in the world, she made it short and simple by saying that the director made an actress out of her, the husband made a woman out of her, and the children made a mother out of her.
I am thankful for having humans like Frances McDormand be acknowledged in Hollywood.
