Mean, to have worked for pixar,
Doing the six pictures I've
Done, this one, lee unkrich and

Montana, disney, I just have to
Thank these people.
I don't want to.
I want to be good television so
Badly.
As you can see.
I've been on this show any
Number of times and I've slowed
It down almost every time.

Four songs, what about cinemaing
To if I, there's five.
They can find a fifth song from
Someone.
But hell with it.
Thank you -- might have beat me.

Much for this.

All of us who have followed.
In 1943, she became the first
Black performer to ever sign a
Long-term contract with a major
Studio like mgm.
But that was a very different
Time in hollywood, and
Trailblazers rarely walk an easy
Path.
Lena paid the price for leading
The way, both professionally and
Personally.
Yet with guts, grace and beauty,
Lena horne survived all the
"stormy weather" that came her
Way.
In doing so, she forever paved
The way for many of us to "walk
In the sun" today.
Thank you, lena horne.
We love you.
And we will never, ever forget
You.

Because my mom in 2007 was
Invited by some australian
Friends, she's australian, in
London, to a fringe theater play
Reading of an unproduced,
Unrehearsed may have called "the
King's speech."
She's never been invited to a
Play reading her entire life

Didn't sound exactly promising,
But thank god she did.
She rang me up after, said, tom,
I think I found your next film.

You and the moral of the story
Is, listen to your mother.

Bullock.
>> and it's my honor to present
The nominees for performance by

Javier, when you won the oscar
For "no country for old men,"
You managed to scare an entire
Nation with a haircut.
But even more impressive than
That, you've inspired, delighted
And moved us in at least two
Languages in your films, and
You do all of the above in your
Haunting performance this year
In "biutiful."
Javier bardem.
>> jeff, dude, dude.
You won this award last year,
You know, I mean, wouldn't it be
Nice if you maybe gave someone
Else a chance, staggered it a
Little bit?
I mean, how much is enough?
Think about it.
But you are such a good actor
That this year, you took on a
Role that has already won
Another actor an oscar and you
Made it indelibly your own when
You strapped on that eye-patch
In "true grit."

Connects "the social network."
Jesse ieisenberg.

Your attention.

Themselves tall, they have a
Right to give it a try.
But there's no rule that I have
To enjoy sitting here listen to

Rest of my attention is back at
The offices of facebook, where
My colleagues are doing things
That your clients are not
Capable of doing.
>> colin.
Colin.
Right here.
So, I hear the queen saw the
Film, she enjoyed it.
Which is good, right?
As I assume you plan on going
Back home sometime?
But not only the queen was
Inspired, but all of us, by the
Man you played who struggled so
Eloquently to achieve his
Destiny in "the king's speech."
Colin firth.
>> it's an even bigger mistake.
I'm not a king.

My dear.
>> I'm a naval officer.
That's all I know.
I'm not a king.
>> james.
James?
Oh, you're back -- hey, how's it
Going?
James, you have so famously
Played such icons as james dean
And allen ginsberg, but forget
All that.
You are the number one
Reason kids get picked up late
From school, because their
Mothers are watching you on
"general hospital."
Hey, actors act.
And none better than you in the
Searing, visceral "127 hours."
James franco.
>> mom, dad -- I just want to
Take this time to tell you that

>> I have a feeling my career's
Just peaked.
My deepest thanks to the
Academy.
I'm afraid I have to warn you
That I'm experiencing stirrings,
Somewhere in the upper
Abdominals, what are threatening
To form themselves into dance
Moves, which -- joy was as they
May be for me, it would be
Extremely problematic if they
Make it to my legs before I get
Off stage, so I'm going to do my
Best to be brief with my
Gratitude, first for being on
This extraordinary list of
Fellow nominees.
Something quite formidable,
Possibly the greatest honor of
This.
All the crew and my fellow cast
Members.
Those who are not here and those
Who are, geoffrey, helena.
And guy.
Who made it very, very tiff cult
For me to be as bad as I was
Planning to be.
And david seidler, whose own
Struggles have given so many
People the benefit of his very
Beautiful voice.
And tom hooper for the immense
Courage and clear-sightedness
With which he interpreted that.
The men who financed this, to
The screen, gareth, emil, iain,
Harvey, who first took me on 20
Years ago, when I was a mere
Child sensation.
And all the people who have been
Rooting for me back home.
Also, jessica, my friend, chris
Andrews for bearing with me
Through some of the less
Fortunate moments, as well as
The good ones.
And my very fortunate friendship
With tom ford, to whom I owe a
Very big piece of this.
And to the
Anglo-italian-american-canadian
Access which makes up my family.
Olivia, for putting up my
Fleeting delusions of royalty.
And, who I hold responsible for
This and for really everything
That's good that's happened
Since I met her.
Now, if you'll all excuse me, I
Have some impulses I have to
Tend to backstage.
Thank you very much.

Of the differences between
Ourselves and those who are now
Our enemies.

We have been forced into a
Conflict.

Ourselves hold dear, it is
Unthinkable that we should re z
Refuse to meet the challenge.
It is for this purpose that I
Now call my people at home who
Will make our cause their own.
I ask them to stand calm and
Firm and united in this time of
Trial.
The task will be hard.
There may be dark days ahead.
And war can no longer be
Confined to the battlefield.
But we can only do the right as
We see the right.
And reverently commit our cause
To god.
If one and all we keep
Resolutely faith fful to it, th
With god's help we shall
Prevail.
