It's all in the preparation!

Perhaps I'm being over protective of my creative cousins: actors - but I have an expectation that they will be mentally prepared for any media opportunity - particularly an award ceremony. After all, if we believe the press, most of them take hours to get ready - and that's just the men; the actresses apparently have botox injections in their arm pits to avoid nasty sweat marks and weeks of wardrobe planning. So why is it that some actors let themselves down when they have to open their mouths - during acceptance speeches? Surely they are masters or mistresses of conveying words and will have prepared a response - however 'humble'.
Could it be that too much energy has been put into the appearance of said actor, or that their 7 day starvation diet, to look fantastic on the red carpet results in a fuzzy head when combined with champagne and adrenaline?
Some are great acceptance speeches: others are = well - emotional. The links below: learn from their mistakes!
