The amazing reactions range from Roberto Benigni climbing over the furniture (Best Actor and Foreign Language Film for โ€˜Life is Beautifulโ€™ in 1998), Cuba Gooding Jr repeatedly shouting โ€˜I love youโ€™ over the orchestra (Best Supporting Actor for โ€˜Jerry Maguireโ€™ in 1996) and Gwyneth Paltrow being completely overcome by emotion when thanking her family (Best Actress for โ€˜Shakespeare in Loveโ€™ in 1998).

The award for most moving speech must go jointly to Tom Hanks (Best Actor for โ€˜Philadelphiaโ€™ in 1993) and Adrien Brody (Best Actor for โ€˜The Pianistโ€™ in 2002).

And who could forget Sally Fieldโ€™s famous โ€“ or maybe infamous โ€“ acceptance speech from 1985.
