People who get the coveted Academy Award and deliver a heartfelt, warming speech that is tender, evocative and sometimes funny are lucky bastards. In fact, I won a free coffee the other day and my mouth shook and words babbled out of me like a sea of word vomit. Watching actress, directors and more hit the stage and light it up verbally is always compelling. You can spend hours going from speech to speech, congratulating the hard workers who have created the past years great entertainment and get teary-eyed at their emotive or witty speeches. The key to a being a good orator is confidence with a little panache for entertaining and these people have it.
