Look, folks, a little emotion goes a long way. Now, certainly if you've had a tough, tough life been for your whole life, and now you win the Academy Award, and it's your first movie or after a 50 year career, sure, it's understandable to have some emotion, but you need the right amount of it. If you're just out there, blubbering. It's not very interesting to people. It's a moment, but you're not really conveying anything. So keep it together.

This is one of the beauties of having rehearsed. Your acceptance speech is you can show the right amount of emotion and you can be emotional and the words can still come out because you've thought of it. You've planned it, you've practiced you, you've rehearsed it, but if you just take the attitude of Well, I don't want to jinx myself. I'm not gonna have anything to say to get out there. Then the emotion of the moment may overwhelm you and you just can't say anything. And you kind of look like an idiot, especially if it's on TV, the whole world sees it.

So you want emotion, but not so much that you're just blubbering and you can't get through your acceptance speech. So keep that in mind. Let's have emotion but not too much.
