Matthew McConaughey's Best Actor Acceptance Speech: The Best Or Worst Of All Time?

Dependent on your personal philosophy and threshold for egomania Matthew Mcconaughey’s Oscar speech has been described as the best, and worst, acceptance speech ever. McConaughey took to the stage after finding out that he had won the Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance in Dallas Buyers Club. He thanked the usual suspects, ‘all 6,000 members’ of the Academy, his co-stars Jared Leto (who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor) and Jennifer Garner, his director Jean-Marc Vallee and his wife and children.

The speech ended with McConaughey once again addressing the three things: "So, to any of us, whatever those things are, whatever we look up to, whatever it is we look forward to and whoever it is we’re chasing - to that I say, alright, alright, alright. And then I say, just keep livin’.” “Alright, alright, alright” was a line made famous by the actor in his 1993 breakthrough role in the movie Dazed and Confused, and it seemed apt and humble of him to remember quite how far he has come in the 21 years since it’s release.

What did you make of Matthew Mcconaughey’s Oscars speech? Do you agree with the masses that it was an impassioned, well-composed piece?
