One of the best speeches ever.. But that wasn t just a speech, you could feel man's energy, enthusiasm and some mystical electricity, just like in Billy Elliot.

I'm not sure why he was deemed worthy of an Honorary Oscar but his acceptance was one of the great Oscar speeches ever. Beautiful! And loved that he acknowledged Don Siegel. Guy must be an auteurist.

Sonic Youth wrote:What a marvelous voice for a 98 year old.

That's exactly what I thought.

What a marvelous voice for a 98 year old.

Not the best speech for an honorary winner, but would that all of us were that able at 98.
