The Oscars: The most embarrassing bits

It's the most embarrassing part of each individual 学院 Award 贈呈. Not the 'humorous' preamble of the host, the actual 告示 of the 勝利者 or the stony-直面するd smiles of the losers, but the 受託 speech.

Will it be a 噴出するing outpouring of 感謝 and humility? Will it be a terse political 声明? Or will it be an 理解できない blathering about spirituality and God?

Film 星／主役にするs spend their professional lives memorising and reciting other people's words so perhaps it's no real surprise that when they have to 配達する their own, with one billion people watching and without the safety 障壁 of the silver 審査する, they so often make 完全にする prats of themselves.

With an Oscar 受託 speech there's no second take, no stand-in and no direction. You can practise for weeks in 前線 of the mirror in your 防備を堅める／強化するd Beverly Hills コンビナート／複合体 but when you stand on that 行う／開催する／段階, you're on your own baby.

Here are some of femail.co.uk's favourite moments.
