Anne Hathaway’s Awful Acceptance Speeches: An Annoying Look Back


Anne Hathaway has been everywhere this year for her award winning performance in Les Miserables — and it has been awful. For someone who is so talented and so aware she is going to win every award she is nominated for, this girl has been giving acceptance speeches that are getting worse and worse. And then, somehow, even worse.

So before she makes what will no doubt be the most painful speech of tomorrow’s Oscars, let’s take a look back at all these grating moments below. Just make sure you have a drink handy.

Then, let’s all pray that the more deserving Amy Adams will find herself at the podium tomorrow night.

The Critics Choice Awards, when it all began. Really Anne, telling people that just gave you an award that they spelled your name wrong? You are the WORST!

Golden Globe Awards, or when Hathaway tried to do Tina Fey. DON’T EVER TRY AND DO TINA FEY ANNE HATHAWAY.

Golden Globes part 2, when we learn the producers hate Anne and she grabs the mic like it’s a hot dick.

SAG Awards. Her most bearable speech, which is not really saying much.

BAFTAS, where no one likes Anne Hathaway. At all.

And finally, the Oscars…

I love Anne, but I was feeling a rush of secondhand embarrassment all throughout this award season from her speeches. She sounded too rehearsed and staged, even though she probably meant to come off genuine.

Yeah, she even tried to make a bit of a political point about poverty and sex trafficking.

i don't know why people thought that was so cringe-worthy. i know she rehearsed her speech, but that doesn't mean the sentiment wasn't real.

And if you've been following the press angle on Les Mis, the continuing prevalence of poverty and women being forced into prostitution was something that came up a lot. The reality of these things was certainly relevant to the believability of her performance.

I think it's lousy for people to praise the documentary people for bringing that artist girl on stage but criticize Anne's valuable message because they don't like her persona or manner of speech.

i think that was the most honest part of her speech. i think what comes off as fake and rehearsed is the soft, whispy voice she puts on when making the speech. and i actually like her and it puts me off
chrislola 25th-Feb-2013 06:52 pm (UTC)
exactly. i thought that part of her speech was the best and people are actually rolling their eyes over it.

yes, she always sounds like she's faux whispering and I'm not sure why when we all know how her voice sounds.

yeah, this isn't a ~historical plight~
