Mark Rylance's Acceptance Speech - 2008 Tony Awards

[LuvTigerLuv]

this is the best acceptance speech EVER! if i ever win anything, i will do something like this:P

[broadwaybaby1130]

i loved his speech! it wasn't just another speech where they endlessly thank people. this and patti lupone's speech are my favorites from last year's.

Mary McCormack's face was priceless!

[APFlynn]

who is this girl. she has no personality

[ryboe77]

did the announcer say "macbeth" for patrick stewart when announcing the nominees?

[summerandsmoke]

No, she said 'The Scottish Play' - theatre people don't say the title 'Macbeth' because it's bad luck.

[ryboe77]

Really? :o

I didn't know that. Thanks

[renethel]

that presenter was so dull.

[pete275]

this makes no sense, everyone knows that all poetry was written years before the cellphone was invented.

[Kablaine]

that's not the point though is it

[Charles1870]

Mark is quoting Lewis Jenkins a poet from Duluth, Minnesota. This was a fantastic acceptance speech!!
