I tell you true, one of the saddest things to me every night there’s a major awards event is when we have avid readers on the site trying to find a way to watch but coming up empty-handed. All the interest and enthusiasm of our AD friends around the world hits a brick wall when they come around to share a big night with the rest of us. Last night our friend, Vincenzo left this note in the comments: “Good night guys and have fun. No links working from Italy. I go to bed 🙁 ”
It always crushes my heart to see things like this. Finding replay clips of Oscar Night the day after is virtually impossible because the Academy is way more concerned with keeping their cash cow in a windowless cage than they are in nurturing a new generation of Oscar watches. Thankfully, TNT and the SAGAwards understand the priceless value of making highlights of their ceremony available online so movielovers can watch them anytime anywhere they want. My fingers were crossed that this year we’d see the same spirit of generosity, and this morning I was not disappointed. We’re happy to post a collection of all the best speeches from last night’s awards gala, for Vincenzo and all the other hundreds or thousands of people who had to miss the love show because of international licensing entanglements. Enjoy.
