I still practice my Academy Awards acceptance speech in the shower. It has slowly been refined over the course of a decade. The award itself fluctuates between Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. I can’t decide whether I am going to cry yet. I don’t know whether to spend my speech thanking people or using it to express sincere gratitude. I’m debating on whether I would even write it down because if I didn’t, that might make the speech seem more heartfelt.
And my Oscar is usually a shampoo bottle. I like to imagine that I will hold it tightly when I get up to the podium.
