Top 10 Most Epic Oscar Wins of All Time

number 10 ellen takes a selfie the biggest selfie in history actually while hosting the 86th Annual Academy Awards in 2014 Ellen DeGeneres had a ball interacting with the audience plenty of times throughout the show Meryl here's my idea okay so you are nominated it's a record-breaking 18 times right so I thought we would try to break another record right now with the most retweets of a photo the selfie featured celebrities like Bradley Cooper Jennifer Lawrence Brad Pitt Julia Roberts and even Meryl Streep yeah you should get in here - Julia Channing if you can get in also after Ellen posted the selfie on Twitter it received over 3 million retweets more than any picture in the history of the site [Applause] the Oscar goes to James Cameron Africana number nine James Cameron is king of the world quoting yourself can be a risky move but that's exactly what James Cameron did when he won Best Director in 1998 for Titanic I don't know about you but I'm having a really great time [Music] Titanic ended up winning 11 Oscars that night tied for the most of all time with Ben Hur and the Lord of the Rings Return of the King during the historic win Cameron used a famous line from the film in his acceptance speech Cameron had also written the screenplay for Titanic though so he was effectively quoting him sitting on the king of the world and the Oscar goes to Heath Ledger in the dog number 8 Heath Ledger wins posthumously The Dark Knight was a massive success in 2008 largely due to the unique betrayal of the Joker by Heath Ledger nominated for four Academy Awards The Dark Knight broke major ground for the superhero genre unfortunately Ledger died of an accidental drug overdose on January 22nd 2008 and never saw the film released nor the massive impact his performance would have on pop culture as well as the Batman mythos firstly I'd like to thank the Academy for recognizing our son's amazing work Warner Brothers and Christopher Nolan in particular for allowing Heath the creative license to develop and explore this crazy Joker character his Oscar was received by his family who spoke on his legacy and dedicated the wind to his daughter we both knew what you had created in the Joker was extraordinarily special and had even talked about being here on this very day we really wish you were but we proudly accept this award on behalf of your beautiful Mathilda number seven Charlie Chaplin's Oscar in 1972 Charlie Chaplin returned to Hollywood when he was honored by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences for his pioneering work in the earliest days of cinema Chaplin's films like modern times the Great Dictator and the gold rush helped revolutionize filmmaking and comedy as a whole even given the honorary award Chaplin received a 12-minute long standing ovation before giving his humble speech and would seem so futile so feeble I can only say that thank you for the honor of ever inviting me here and your wonderful sweet people thank you and the Oscar for Best Performance by an actor in a supporting role goes to Jack Palance citizen number six Jack Palance works out on stage in 1992 Jack Palance won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the comedy city slickers during his acceptance speech the 72 year old talked a little bit about what it was like to be an aging actor working in Hollywood you know there are times when the when you reach a certain age plateau where the UH the producers say they talk about you and they say well what do you think if you risk it can we do it can we use him before dropping to the ground and doing several one-handed push-ups like for instance you know you go out the show was being hosted by palaces co-starring city slickers Billy Crystal who quipped that parents had just bungee jumped off the Hollywood sign Billy Crystal I crap bigger on him Cuba Gooding jr. number 5 Cuba Gooding jr. verse the orchestra in 1997 Cuba Gooding jr. won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his work in Jerry Maguire coming up to the stage Cuba was shaking with joy he quickly thanked his wife and just like that his time was up but that wouldn't stop him from taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity I know I have a little bit of time so I'm gonna rush and say everybody and you cut away I won't be mad at you Tom said don't forget to take your wife I will never forget to thank my high school sweetheart and the mother of my children Spencer and Mason as the music started swelling behind him instead of wrapping it up Cuba got more amped yelling the names of the people he wished to thank above the orchestra [Music] his energy was infectious and all of the stars in the audience were clapping and standing for him [Applause] number four Sally Fields acceptance speech and the winner is Sally Field in places we like her we really do when Sally Field won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1985 her acceptance speech became a moment that would be parodied for years to come even in major films like the mass the Mandela effect is coming to play a little bit here though because she didn't actually say you like me you really like me what she said was you like me right now you really like me and I wanted more than anything to have your respect the first time I didn't feel it but this time I feel it and I can't deny that you like [Applause] and the Oscar goes to number three life is beautiful in 1999 during the 71st annual Academy Awards Roberto Benigni gave us one of the most excited reactions ever when life is beautiful won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film Roberto's energy spread throughout the entire theater after he was announced the winner he jumped up on his seat as Steven Spielberg helped him keep his balance Roberto then high-fived and celebrated with those around him before literally hopping onto the stage by the way Beauty Adrian Brody number two Adrien Brody kisses Halle Berry the Academy Awards are the biggest nightmare and emotions can be running pretty high during the ceremony after winning the Oscar for Best Actor in 2003 for his work in The Pianist Brody was caught up in the mummy and planted a huge kiss on the surprised Halle Berry who was presenting him the award [Applause] in interviews later Brody said that by the time he had finished the kiss they were already flashing the sign that said get off the stage your time is up it was amazing we really can't blame Brody though after all who wouldn't want to kiss Halle Berry whoa I bet they didn't tell you that was in the gift bag [Applause] oh
