Did you ever see Peter O'Toole's acceptance of a special Oscar. THIS is an acceptance speech and he thanks the United States. Pure class. Watch from the 4:00 mark or else you will hear bloviating from Meryl Streep.

My attempt at levity was no dig on O'Toole - the "guyliner" was David Lean's makeup department. He was a great actor who always brought a little more than the material he was given. That he and Richard Harris had drinking duels whenever one ran into the other is the stuff of legend.
