Cuba Gooding Jr.'s ecstatic Oscar® acceptance speech

Cuba essentially did a minstrel act in Jerry Maguire. What a fucking embarrassing Oscar win! Fortunately his career since then -- and the greater perspective of hindsight -- have not been kind to this moment.

He's sooooo adorable.

Most people stop talking or hurry through their speech when the music starts; everyone should do what Cuba did and just keep talking over the music. It's like having your own background soundtrack for your speech...live, and performed by a full orchestra. Makes your speech even more dramatic...

lol... trust me.... i know him and he's alot funnier in person...

he shoulda gotten an oscar for this oscar acceptance speech

and that was not the worst oscar win...he was freakin awesome and charismatic as hell in jerry maguire

I like this speech but I mostly hate the really weepy, pathetic and overemotional speech. This one wasn't weepy. It was just genuine joy and fun. I like it.

Thats was fucking awsome!!!

Norton should have an Oscar by now.
He and Brad Pitt should have shared Best Actor for Fight Club.

OMG, yes Norton was GREAT in that movie!!

Great Oscar Moment, however one of the worst Oscar wins in this category though.
