I didn't understand the first time I watched this because of the heavy words he used. But now every time he used a word I didn't understand very well, I paused the video and did a dictionary search of the word. And did that repeatedly through his speech. Now I completely understand his speech, it's very profound and poetic. Beautiful speech.

His speech made total sense to me also, very articulate man. I think Diane Keaton was stoned! :P

John Voight was obviously blown away by Laurence Olivier's acceptance speech. I agree with the above comment, he was acting when giving his acceptance speech. In fact Olivier should have got an Oscar for his Oscar acceptance speech.... Ahem maybe not! But nonetheless credit where credit is due, he was a great actor on stage and the silver screen for over four decades.

Brando and Dean were far better in my opinion. Far more human when acting, and that counts.

Diane Keaton: That didn't make any sense at all.
Warren Beatty: I'll just clap, pretend I understood.
Jon Voight: HE'S THE MESSIAH!
