This year the Academy did something really cool for those of us that were not able to attend the actual show as they have not only sent us transcripts of the winners’ acceptance speeches [click here], but also they have supplied us with backstage interviews! So, sit back and enjoy as you get it straight from the horse’s mouth!
NOTE: These are the direct transcripts, so don’t get upset with me if they are too long or not straight to the point. I am working on a timeline here people.
