My Oscar Winning Speech


FOX Corporation has announced a competition, in the Middle East, involving amateurs filming what they would say on their Oscar winning speech. The winner gets their speech previewed on Fox Movies. This is what I said for my video entry.


“WOW! For years and years, ever since I wrote the script for my high school musical production, I would stand before my mirror, late in the night, and practice my Oscar Winning speech knowing that this wasn’t just a dream. It was bound to happen, it was inevitable. Surprisingly, ever since I stepped on stage tonight, I seem to have forgotten every word of it! Anyway, now that I have that little naked statue to keep on myself and cherish for the rest of my life, I feel like I’ve come home at last.


I’d like to dedicate this to my amazing mother, without which I wouldn’t be standing before you. She was the one who told me, twenty years ago, ‘Adam, the world is your oyster. I know you’re capable of achieving all your dreams. You go get ‘em’. The way she had trust in me was the light that illuminated my pathway. A big thank you to the picture’s dedicated cast without which my screenplay wouldn’t have come to life.


Here’s a little something I’d like to say to every dreamer out there, whether you’re a poet, singer or actor, 'Don’t Dream it, Be it', and remember my mother’s words. Believe me, they’ll come in handy."
