Ke Huy Quan speech made me smile. Decades of not working in Hollywood and made a comeback and winning a Golden Globe is…wow. I’m so proud of him.

[@sylv3053]

I'm so happy for him! If I didn't have enough reasons to watch, Everything Everywhere All at Once, before, I am *definitely* watching it now!

[@NL-tr7ix]

It’s sad to know that the last time he worked in the Hollywood industry was back in 1992 which is 30 years ago already

[@Breexbloodlust]

He totally deserves the best

[@jubileebaby0]

He deserved it, after years of not getting enough roles in Hollywood.

[@angelaholmes8888]

Ke guy Quan speech was really inspiring it just proves it's never to late to live your dream

[@blugreen123]

Brendan Fraser's recent Critic's Choice Award speech and Halle Berry's speech when she won Best Actress. 😭

[@Hippielove90]

Tom Hanks speech when he got the Oscar should have been on the list. "We know their names, they number a thousand for each one of the red ribbons we wear here tonight."

[@shawnuel]

Sorry, only room for one 20th century pick on this list. 90% of the most emotional speeches took place in the 21st century (and 90% of those after 2015). That makes sense. 10% in first 70 years and 90% in the following 20. Nice effort put into this.

[@TaraLyz]

Hattie McDaniel ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY deserved to be #1 on this list! NONE of the other poc individuals on this list would have been possible without her paving the way first! This is why I will ALWAYS love Gone with the Wind. (Book and movie.)

[@twoboysmom7423]

You are so correct.

[@gl3913]

Joaquin Phoenix's 2020 Best Actor Oscar acceptance speech was very beautiful and very honest. Phoenix's speech should have been either in the top 5 of this list or at least an honorable mention. My favorite part of Phoenix's speech was when he used a quote from a lyric his late brother, River, had written before he passed on in 1993. "Run to the rescue with love and peace will follow."

[@ShinbiBelldandy]

Hattie McDaniel won an Oscar but couldn’t even go to the movie premiere in Atlanta due to segregation. Clark Gable wanted to skip in solidarity, but she asked him not to. Unfortunately, Hattie’s Oscar has been lost. The Academy should give her a Governors Award.

[@SammiePopCulture]

Honourable Mention: Brendan Fraser speech at the 2023 Critics Choice Awards.

[@madman00774]

Joaquin Phoenix absolutely deserved to be on this list. Instead of talking about his achievements, he took a moment to talk about the animal rights and his late brother. What a legend!

[@shayes88able]

Sheryl lee Ralph should’ve been on this list

[@candicem8931]

Ok! It was a long time coming for her

[@coreytomison3292]

I'm surprised that Sally Fields Oscar speech didn't make this list. We like her! We really really like her!

[@ikexbankai]

Don’t you just like Sally Fields lol

[@coreytomison3292]

@@ikexbankai I'm referencing her Oscar speech?

[@jessevaldez6740]

Brendan frasiers speech is not on here was sure it was going to be number 1

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

Dan Levy's acceptance speech at the GLAAD Media Awards 2019 was one of the most emotional acceptance speeches I ever heard. Dan spoke of how difficult it was to see the person that he had crushed on in secret fall in love with somebody else. Wow! That broke my heart to hear him say that. But he bounced back from it and had some great female friends who kept his secret for him.

[@Afftene22]

Susan Lucci's 1999 Emmy win should be on here! To finally get the win after 19 nominations....an electric moment in time.

[@camecex]

Thought that would have been #1

[@RaymondHng]

"The streak is over!!!"

[@KimberlyRaymundo-pd5nc]

Susan Lucci’s speech still makes me cry

[@Kristine_202]

Ben Platt's Tony (He was so young and so excited. And I don't want to hear anything about nepotism...If anyone was lucky enough to see Ben Platt play Evan Hansen on Broadway, you know how much he deserved that award.) Nicole Kidman's Oscar ("I always wanted to make my mother proud, and now I want to make my daughter proud.") Christian Bale's Oscar (He cried! And big, tough Christian Bale never cries. Even he was shocked by it.) Joaquin Phoenix's Oscar (The mention of his late brother. ❤) I'm sure I can think of more. Olivia Colman's Oscar speech was also fantastic, but that made me laugh more than cry. And when she said, "This won't happen again," I think she was VERY wrong. Oprah's speech in the wake of the "Me Too" movement was incredibly powerful. Meryl Streep at the 2017 Golden Globes. (This one doesn't need commentary. If you know, you know.)

[@olvialee7221]

Whoa, WHAT?! I’m blown away, right now. He was the kid in Temple of Doom and The Goonies? Wow

[@bandgeek89]

Nothing beats Cuba Gooding Jr's speech when he won for Jerry Maguire in my opinion. Definition of emotional

[@angelaholmes8888]

Oh yes Halle speech was moving💯

[@angelaholmes8888]

I'm so glad Hattie McDaniel is number 1 and rightly so 🙂

[@rachelfishbein1478]

How did Alex Borstein's Emmy speech where she talked about her grandmother's escape from the Holocaust not make the list????

[@gabrielcastaneda9700]

Brendan Fraser at the critics choice

[@KennethLloydCamaclang]

steven spielberg's best director speech for schindler's list is PRICELESS

[@marvintnt1820]

Jamie Foxx speech when he won the Oscar was everything. He was funny of course but when he started talking about his grandmother that was really emotional.

[@brookelynnenewcomer943]

[@Clarexaizabela]

Louise Fletcher's will always be my favoritr

[@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719]

This is an awesome list! Man, Lin-Manuel Miranda has too much talent. Quan, Taylor (Boseman's wife), and many others made me cry. 🥲

[@olvialee7221]

I knew it. I knew that actor look familiar in Everything Everywhere All At Once. Also, congratulations to him

[@loon-a-sea3872]

give it up for steve kazee's best actor tony speech. his comments about his recently deceased mother were tear-inducing, for sure.

[@Vitte4]

Thank you for siphoning away most of the emotion with the cleverly crafted script. I don't know if I could have handled their powerful authenticity without listening to how you explain it all to us.

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

That was emotional!

[@arthurrovere]

Lea Michele’s 2013 teen choice awards speech was pretty emocional, it was her first public appearance after Cory died. So touching 😢

[@yadielenielbellecolon982]

Thank For The Video 🏆🏆

Ke Huy Quan’s golden glode had me bawling and then his Oscar win made my cry even harder

[@annafowdy]

I thought Sheryl Lee Ralph would be here.

[@bennymora3086]

#1 should always be important in history!!!🏆🏆🏆

[@justineves3588]

Very very great epic list I like it a lot very very great job mis mojo one of my absolute favorite list ever 💗 Austin Butler speech should have been on this great list

[@coll4455]

Selma Blair ❤

[@amandalevesque3840]

The speech that always gets me is Tory Kotsur’s speech at the Oscar in 2022!! The amount of emotion you can read on his face, wow!!

[@Newkids33]

I couldn't agree with it more Hattie McDaniel she is great actress and performance in Gone With The Wind still gets me

[@janecob5995]

I think Troy Kotsur should have been on the list for Supporting Actor at the Oscars last year. Because of the drama, all the other wins were forgotten.

[@sarahkohl9648]

the proposal got me the most emotional

[@freddiemolinajr.8397]

Watching this after Ke Huy Quan won an Oscar

Everyone, do yourself a favour and look up the acceptance speech for Graham Moore winning an Academy Award for The Imitation Game.

[@timmybegley6789]

Hattie Macdaniel Deserved to Be No.1 Big Time. ❤

[@BurrShotHam711Jenna]

Lin-Manuel Miranda's Love is Love speech is well said

[@wojtek1765]

As much as I’d love Anthony Hopkins as an actor I think the academy should’ve gave the Oscar to Chadwick that year

[@Breemgrrl]

Michael Jeter's 1990 Tony Awards speech should have at least been on the list.

[@MartyWiggins-x2k]

Me Huy Quans speech at the Oscars where he Said look Mama I’ve won an Oscar makes me cry every time

[@jonpanofsky2994]

Hattie McDaniel's "speech" was written by her studio.

[@Breexbloodlust]

Sean Penns speech when he did milk should be here, Guillermo Del Toro's for shape of water, & Joaquin Pheonix's speech should be here.

[@eunicejoshuaclarke6300]

Good video, but why didn’t Ms Mojo show part of the speeches of the first black woman to get an Oscar, Hattie McDaniel or the fist black woman’s speech who got best actress, Halle Berry? Parts of their speeches could have been shown by cutting some of the time of other speeches and was easily possible. 😞

[@puspamitrapujari5639]

key huy quan

[@Jo-bu4gv]

I can’t believe schindlers list wasn’t on here

[@jimmymelendez1836]

No, it's Indiana Jones And the Temple Of Doom. Congrats to Key Huy.

[@Agju]

no mention of Julia Louis Dreyfuss accepting an award so soon after her father's death? that one gets me T_T

[@emitheegemini]

I adore Lin Manuel's 2016 Tony win speach. It was so him. I also love the line from Lena's speach, "The world would not be as beautiful as it is if we weren't in it". Also, add ANY speach from Sheryl Lee Ralph on here.

[@danaarmas956]

i Love Lizzo's Speech This motivation ✴️ i Love Halle Berry her lot . she new Face Of Beauty Poise

[@ilanlaham6911]

This video came 2 months too early for KHQ's "Mom, I just won an Oscar!" which would have lifted him to the top 3 at least

[@KadeemG61]

Yeah, those are great speeches and all, but Will Smith’s emotional speech at the Oscars last year should’ve been #1 (I’m not going to talk about the slap). He gave his performance very well in King Richard that lead him to become the first black actor to win an Oscar for Best Actor, something the Oscars should’ve done in a long time since the Best Actor award was always given to a white man.

[@diandie1838]

@Kadeem Gomez Too bad he ruined it.

The actress is Judith Light, she was recently in the movie, The Menu

[@jennytails3015]

Sally Field’s iconic speech? 🤔

[@Vitte4]

Please be honest. These are not the most touching award show speeches of all time. These are the most touching award show speeches of the 21st century. And with the exception of one, those since 2010. Anybody over 40 on your panel? Anybody ever see, e.g., Louise Fletcher's Best Actress in a Supporting Role speech?

[@SzaBeat0407]

Maybe i missed but where is Joaquin Phoenix ?

It might be emotional for their fans ARMY only, but BTS' MAMA Artist of the Year acceptance speech at the 2018 Mnet Asian Music Awards. It was a normal speech until one of the members admitted they were near disbanding during that year and thanked the others for pushing through

[@EverRoxas]

Yes, probably is emotional for just ARMYS...

[@stoagymahalo5268]

Eh... something about this list... isn't really that effective or emotional. But then again the fact half of the list is just because "its a protest/movement to some message" sounding more like Advertisements to me than accolades.

[@amsk987]

I smell feminism here , many great speeches are augmented when this list was created

[@yasmin8370]

Who put together this list?? Are u serious??? U guys skipped so many moving and emotional speeches. America ferrerah winning the golden globes for ugly Betty . Adrian brodys oscar speech for winning the Holocaust movie. Tom hanks speech for Philadelphia !!!!!... This list SUCKS!

Did not get it there still blocks on it why AKA Quan was born on August 20th the same as benjamin harrison was born my kind and Brad pitt was born on December 18th the same as stephen stealburg see those are blocks and it was a Tuesday as well.
