I could listen to Lin all day every day.

[@evalynn1863]

Same! There's something about his voice and the way he speaks that's almost addictive. Someday I want him to write a book about his life and then also record the audio book of it because I would be enthralled the entire time lol

[@marieldelara5187]

+AS2112 Same! It would complete my life

Lin-Manuel is so deserving of every award! So humble and intelligent!

[@gillianb2352]

how have i never watched this before?? what an absolutely beautiful speech, im in awe!!

[@My0326]

The fact that Lin knows that we have fan accounts dedicated to Hamilton characters😂😂

[@edwinrobles9835]

The term genius is not hyperbole when applied to this artist. Lin-Manuel is a gift to us. Can't wait for movie versions of In the Heights and Hamilton. 2020 and 2021 will be special.

Truly great acceptance speech! As an event producer, the waitstaff moving around during his speech drove me insane. I always time out my events so that the waitstaff is finished before the VIP gets up to speak. That said... after I grumbled in my head about the distracting movement and clinking silverware, I realized I was wasting time being annoyed and focused back on his speech. Did I mention it was truly great?! Love the behind-the-scenes stories, love hearing about his process. Loved it!

[@angiewagner9232]

This is a beautiful speech. So inspirational, and gives a great way to look at the Hamilton phenomenon.

[@yashiAR]

Every speech he gives is so heartfelt, meaningful and inspiring. Amazing! One thing that annoyed me though that why would they be serving while he was talking.

[@kirstyfernandes1421]

This is my Lin. Proud is not enough of a word to reflect my feelings for this man. Love comes closest. I love you Lin, well done.

[@queerchaos13]

While I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment, how could you throw away your shot to say "pride is not the word I'm looking for"?

[@fandomphile]

@@queerchaos13 Maybe because pride is a pretty accurate word to look for when talking about Lin-Manuel Miranda?

Jesús kills a bird he feels bad he brings it back 😂😂😂😂😂😂oh Lin

[@sydneyl5434]

I just love him so much

[@maggies.6607]

He is so incredible!!!

[@yashiAR]

Every speech he gives is so heartfelt, meaningful and inspiring. Amazing! One thing that annoyed me though that why would they serving while he was talking.

[@chrissies5442]

"Jesus kills a bird, feels bad, brings it back" replace Jesus kills a bird with me getting bad grades, replace feels bad with Lin making musicals, and boom thats my version
