One of the more interesting aspects of the Oscars is the acceptance speeches that the winners give upon receiving their little gold statues.  Some are quick and to the point, and others lag on and on until music starts playing in an attempt to shut the winner up.  Of course, there’s also the bizarre, the political, and the hilarious.  After the jump, take a look at ten of the more memorable Oscar acceptance speeches:

Cuba Gooding, Jr. for Best Supporting Actor

Adrian Brody for Best Actor

Roberto Benigni for Best Foreign Language Film

Michael Moore for Best Documentary Feature

Halle Berry for Best Actress

Sacheen Littlefeather for Marlon Brando for Best Actor

Steven Spielberg for Best Director

Denzel Washington for Best Actor

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon for Best Original Screenplay

Three 6 Mafia for Best Song
