It would be hard to cite one acceptance speech as the best. But one of the most memorable was Louise Fletcher's podium appearance after winning the 1975 Academy Award for Best Actress in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."

She used sign language at the end of her remarks, addressing her deaf parents who were watching television from their home in Birmingham, Alabama. "I want to thank my mother and my father for teaching me to have a dream," Fletcher said. "You are seeing my dream come true."
