Ben Affleck's first acceptance speech for Good Will Hunting oscar

Source - I’ll never forget the first thought I had — that I hadn’t given one second of thought to what I might say. You are an idiot. You come to the Academy Awards and didn’t prepare anything, not even secretly in your mind.”

Apparently, he wasn’t alone, and Damon here showed the benefit of that time he spent in Harvard. “Matt said, ‘Go ahead, talk first.’ Only later did I realize his show of graciousness was designed to give him a minute to prepare what he was going to say. I mumbled a bunch of stupid things. I thanked Boston twice. Probably once would have been enough. We’d won the Golden Globe, but I think the only other thing I’d ever won was some Little League trophies when I was 12. I look back on the whole thing ruefully. I had no perspective. I thanked Cuba Gooding Jr. — by now I was just saying stuff. We high-fived everybody. I hugged Denzel Washington as we were coming offstage and he was going on. Why did I hug Denzel Washington? Maybe he didn’t want to be hugged by me, a stranger. I felt like such an idiot afterward, but I have to say, we had a lot of fun that night.”

This is exactly, and I mean exactly, what acceptance speeches should be like. I don't even have anything say other than everyone is so boring now, even Ben with Argo. Just ramble, thank random actors who weren't involved, hug strangers, be out.
