THE 'BEST' ACCEPTANCE SPEECH EVER GIVEN BY AN ACTOR?




In accepting the  award, at the 48th AFI Life Achievement Awards Ceremony, Julie  Andrews said, “This night reminds me, with great clarity,  how many people are involved with making movies. What a huge collaborative effort it takes to bring film to the screen. My husband Blake never liked when people referred to filmmaking as the business or an industry. He insisted that film was an art form and should always be called that. And I know that is exactly the way the AFI feels also.”  Her entire 'speech' was beautifully crafted and delivered......with humor, humility and honest Genius!
