Oscar speeches that won hearts and how: When winners made history with their words
For many actors, winning an Oscar is the dream. But in some cases, the acceptance speech becomes the real legacy — a moment when a personal triumph transforms into a message for millions. These powerful speeches were not just thank-yous; they were statements that changed the conversation, offered hope, and left a permanent mark on Hollywood's history. 1. Frances McDormand – Championing Women in Film (2018) Category: Best Actress Film: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Frances McDormand's third Oscar win wasn't just a career high — it became a rallying cry. As she stood on stage, she didn't focus on herself but on the many women around her. She urged all female nominees in every category to rise, turning the camera to faces often left in the background. She called upon Meryl Streep , a symbol of industry respect, to lead the way. Then came her now-famous mic-drop moment: 'I have two words to leave with you tonight: inclusion rider.' That phrase sparked a movement in Hollywood to demand diversity clauses in contracts, ensuring equity behind and in front of the camera. McDormand's speech wasn't emotional — it was revolutionary. 2. Hattie McDaniel – A Win Against the Odds (1940) Category: Best Supporting Actress Film: Gone With the Wind In a deeply segregated America, Hattie McDaniel's win was groundbreaking — and painful. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Investigadora argentina revela hallazgos sobre el magnesio Salud Esencial Leer más Undo The first Black actor to receive an Oscar wasn't even allowed to sit with her white co-stars. She was escorted to the ceremony and seated at a separate table. Despite this injustice, McDaniel approached the stage with grace. 'I sincerely hope I shall always be a credit to my race and to the motion picture industry.' Her words were filled with quiet dignity, masking the weight of systemic racism she faced every day. She accepted her Oscar not just for herself, but for generations to come. 3. Lupita Nyong'o – A Dream Realized (2014) Category: Best Supporting Actress Film: 12 Years a Slave Lupita Nyong'o's breakthrough performance earned her global acclaim — but her acceptance speech is what made her unforgettable. With poise and sincerity, she thanked her co-stars, her family, and her director, then offered a message that instantly became iconic: 'No matter where you are from, your dreams are valid.' Born in Mexico and raised in Kenya, Lupita's success was not typical by Hollywood standards. Her speech celebrated diversity and showed aspiring artists around the world that anything was possible. 4. Ariana DeBose – Pride and Representation (2022) Category: Best Supporting Actress Film: West Side Story Ariana DeBose used her moment to celebrate something bigger than herself — identity. As an openly queer Afro-Latina woman, her win marked a turning point for inclusivity in mainstream cinema. 'You see an openly queer woman of color, an Afro-Latina, who found her strength in life through art.' She reflected on her childhood, sitting in the back of a white Ford, and asked audiences to look into the eyes of that young girl and recognize the power of possibility. Her words were an emotional nod to those still seeking acceptance. 5. Ke Huy Quan – From Refugee to Oscar Winner (2023) Category: Best Supporting Actor Film: Everything Everywhere All At Once Ke Huy Quan's return to the big screen was one of the most moving comeback stories in recent Oscar history. A former child star of Indiana Jones and The Goonies, he had faded from the limelight for decades. But his win wasn't just about redemption — it was about resilience. 'My mom is 84 years old and she's at home watching. Mom, I just won an Oscar!' He spoke of arriving in America as a refugee and finding himself years later on Hollywood's biggest stage. His closing line, 'This is the American dream,' echoed far beyond the Dolby Theatre. 6. Halle Berry – A Milestone for Black Women (2002) Category: Best Actress Film: Monster's Ball In 2002, Halle Berry became the first — and still only — Black woman to win the Best Actress Oscar. Overwhelmed by emotion, her speech acknowledged the historical weight of her win: 'This moment is so much bigger than me.' She dedicated the award to women of color who were never given the opportunity, calling it a door opening moment. Two decades later, her win still serves as a benchmark for representation in Hollywood's highest echelon. 7. Brendan Fraser – Gratitude After the Fall (2023) Category: Best Actor Film: The Whale Fraser's acceptance was more than a win — it was a homecoming. After years of personal and professional hardship, The Whale marked his return to critical acclaim. On stage, Fraser fought back tears as he acknowledged the emotional depth the role required. 'Things didn't come easily to me... I just want to say thank you for this acknowledgement.' His gratitude extended to his cast and crew, praising them for laying their 'whale-sized hearts bare.' It was a humble, heartfelt speech that touched many who had followed his journey. 8. Bonus: Viola Davis – Honoring Roots and Resilience (2017) Category: Best Supporting Actress Film: Fences Viola Davis brought her trademark intensity to the stage, offering one of the night's most poignant moments. Reflecting on her upbringing and her family's sacrifices, she thanked her husband and daughter, calling them the foundation of her life. 'You know, there's one place that all the people with the greatest potential are gathered — and that's the graveyard.' Her speech emphasized the power of telling stories that honor the unsung and the unseen — the ordinary lives that make extraordinary art.

Triveni Engineering shares rally 10% after solid Q4 earnings, upbeat sugar price outlook
Shares of Triveni Engineering & Industries climbed as much as 10.4% on Wednesday to Rs 468.20 on the BSE after the sugar and engineering company posted a double-digit rise in quarterly profit and flagged healthy sugar price trends ahead. Triveni Engineering & Industries reported a 16.2% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit for the fourth quarter ended March 2025, to Rs 187.1 crore from Rs 161 crore a year earlier. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Investigadora argentina revela hallazgos sobre el magnesio Salud Esencial Leer más Undo The company's board has recommended a final dividend of Rs 2.50 per equity share for FY25, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming annual general meeting. Revenue from operations (gross) rose 24.4% YoY to Rs 1,925.3 crore, while revenue net of excise duty increased 25.1% to Rs 1,629.3 crore. The company's EBITDA jumped 21.5% YoY to Rs 317.4 crore, though the margin narrowed slightly to 19.5% from 20.1% in the same period last year. Earnings per share for the quarter improved to Rs 8.55 from Rs 7.36. Mixed full-year performance For FY25, net revenue grew 9% YoY to Rs 5,689.2 crore, but EBITDA declined by 22.5% to Rs 533.8 crore. The company's EBITDA margin contracted to 9.4% from 13.2%, while profit after tax dropped 39.7% to Rs 238.3 crore. Live Events The sugar segment's turnover rose 2.8% from the previous year, driven by higher realisation prices, though segment profits declined 12.8% due to elevated production costs and lower recovery rates. The alcohol segment reported a 15.7% rise in turnover, aided by the commissioning of a new multi-feed distillery at Rani Nangal. However, profitability was hit due to higher volumes of lower-margin maize-based ethanol and operational shutdowns from feedstock shortages. Power transmission stood out, with turnover surging 26.8%. Meanwhile, the water business saw a 4.9% dip in revenue. Management outlook Commenting on the results, Dhruv M. Sawhney, Chairman and Managing Director, said the company is hopeful of an improved performance in the coming year through proactive measures in our sugar and alcohol businesses. Sawhney also noted favourable sugar market dynamics. 'Sugar prices have remained at healthy levels during FY25, particularly in Q4 FY25. We expect these trends to continue given the lower sugar stocks in the country on a year-on-year basis,' he said. 'We believe that a continually increasing portfolio of refined sugar and pharmaceutical-grade sugar production, which now stands at 73% of overall sugar production, augurs well for sugar realisations for the company. We continue to make judicious investments in our facilities to enhance sugarcane crush rate, sugar quality and efficiencies,' Sawhney added.
