4 Which quotes in Exercise 3 do you agree with? Which ones do you disagree with? Give reasons. Be ready to share your ideas with your classmates.

A

Each year Hollywood and movie fans turn their attention to the Academy Awards. The Awards are for different achievements such as best director, best actor/actress, best film editing, best original soundtrack and best visual effects. However, you — like most people — probably call the awards 'Oscars'. The reason for this nickname is that an Academy librarian, Margaret Herrick, looked at the statue and said, 'It looks like my Uncle Oscar,' and the name stuck.

B

When the winners collect their Oscars, they make a speech. ¹ 'There's a lot to say, but I'm not going to say it tonight.' Or 'I want to thank ... everybody I've met in my whole life.' Or, unfortunately, ² When Cher won best supporting actress for Moonstruck, she thanked her hairdresser, make-up artist and personal assistant, but she forgot to thank the other actors or the director!

C

³ _____: when Louise Fletcher was given her Oscar for playing the cruel nurse in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, she said, 'I've loved being hated by you.' ⁴ _____: the director of Titanic said, 'I'm the king of the world!' and then asked for a few moments of silence to remember the people who had died on the original ship.

D

Not surprisingly, ⁵ _____ but the occasion overwhelms some of them and they can't say anything sensible. When Gwyneth Paltrow won the best actress Oscar for her role in Shakespeare in Love (1998), she cried throughout her acceptance speech and recently said that she keeps the Oscar hidden at the back of a bookshelf because it brings back unpleasant memories of the embarrassing evening.
