Believe it or not, there have been several instances in which people accepted Academy Awards and got off the stage in record time. The shortest acceptance speech may have been uttered by 16-year-old Patty Duke at the 35th Academy Awards on April 8, 1963. Upon winning the 1962 Best Supporting Actress Award for her mostly silent portrayal as the young Helen Keller in "The Miracle Worker," Duke simply said "Thank you!"

At the 26th Academy Awards on March 25, 1954, William Holden won the 1953 Best Actor Oscar for his performance in "Stalag 17." He said "Thank you!" twice.

Another short acceptance speech was by Joe Pesci at the 63rd Academy Awards on March 25, 1991. Pesci, who won the 1990 Best Supporting Actor award for his performance in "Goodfellas," said only: "Well, it's my privilege. Thank you!"

Humanitarian work is hands on support on the ground in disadvantaged places around the world. The initial goal of humanitarian work is to relieve suffering, but the long-term goal is for sustainable development. Humanitarian efforts have realized the importance of distinguishing between giving people hand-outs, essentially making them dependent, versus teaching them useful skills to make them self-sufficient.

As related to man-made disasters, often including civil wars and genocide, humanitarian work often revolves around United Nations (UN) and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) troops on the ground. USAID also plays a large role in U.S. foreign assistance abroad. USAID has working relationships with more than 3,500 American companies and over 300 U.S.-based private voluntary organizations USAID is a federal government agency that received foreign policy guidance from the Secretary of State and has an Administrator and Deputy Administrator who are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.

The United Nations, through Resolution 46/182 in 1991 laid out specific guidelines of international humanitarian aid. This included guiding principles like, the affected State is the first party responsible to take care of its citizens, and humanitarian aid is only provided by the consent of the affected States. The resolution is outlines through sub sections with titles such as, prevention, preparedness, and coordination, cooperation and leadership, and continuum from relief to rehabilitation and development.

This document shows first all, that the international community is aware that, for humanitarian work to be successful, it must be managed in the right way. The right way to manage is to understand that large catastrophes have repercussions that need to be addressed through continuing relief, rehabilitation, and development.

Non-governmental organizations that do humanitarian work on the ground abroad, often receive funding through grant money obtained by the federal government. This money is what makes it possible for humanitarian efforts to exist.
