The 2009 Film Independent's Spirit Awards & The 81st Annual Academy Awards

There were three great acceptance speeches on Oscar night. One of the notable speeches was for the movie Slumdog Millionaire and two of them were for the movie Milk!

Danny Boyle gave an odd but joyous speech at the Awards ceremony:


I loved Dustin Lance Black's moving acceptance speech at the Oscars:

FYI: He also made a touching speech at the Spirit Awards but I couldn't find the video for it!

As well, I loved Sean Penn's acceptance speech:

And comparing Harvey Milk to Sean Penn (comparing the 1984 documentary to Milk and even comparing switching from archival footage to present acting in Milk), boy is it obvious that Sean Penn is such a great actor in Milk! And sadly, the struggle for human equality still continues! So keep fighting the good fight folks.
Peace.
