The Oscars: Best Quotes (Sean Penn, Dustin Lance Black, Kate Winslet, Penelope Cruz)
Like a typical lawyer, Popsquire loves quotes, because they provide the best evidence of what really happened during an event. So, here is a list of the best quotes from last night’s Academy Awards:
Sean Penn: “You commie, homo-loving, sons of guns. I did not expect this and I know how hard I make it to appreciate me…I think it is a good time for those who voted for the ban against gay marriage to sit and reflect and anticipate their great shame and the shame in their grand children’s eyes if they continue that way of support. We’ve got to have equal rights for everyone.”
Kate Winslet: “I’d be lying if I haven’t made a version of this speech before. I think I was probably eight years old and staring into the bathroom mirror and this would have been a shampoo bottle. Well it’s not a shampoo bottle now.”
Penelope Cruz: “It’s not going to be 45 seconds, I can say that right now. Has anybody ever fainted here? Because I might be the first one.”
Dustin Lance Black: “If Harvey had not been taken from us 30 years ago, I think he’d want me to say to all those gay and lesbian kids out there tonight – who have been told that they are less than by their churches, by the government, or by their families – that you are beautiful, wonderful creatures that are valued. And that no matter what everyone tells you, God does love you, and that very soon, I promise you, you will have equal rights federally across this great nation of ours.”
