Did it ever hapen before?
And on what occasion?

“ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
Scott Rudin:
This is an unbelievable honor and a complete surprise. So many people have a part of this, chief among them Cormac McCarthy, who wrote a wonderful book that it was an honor to make into a movie. The three men sitting down front, Josh Brolin, Tommy Lee JOnes, Javier Bardem, without them there would be no movie.

These two gentlemen [to Joel and Ethan Coen], I can’t think of anybody I would rather be standing here with than the two of you. Thank you so much for this.

Everybody at Vantage and Miramax who financed the movie together. The entire team at Miramax who did a brilliant, brilliant job selling it. Thank you to all of them.

I want to thank Mark Roybal, It’s a pleasure to work with Him every day.

I want to thank my friend, Sydney Pollack, who taught me that with the responsibility — with the opportunity to make movies comes the responsibility of making them good. This for him.

This is also for my partner John Barlow. Without you, honey, this would be hardware. Thank you so much. Thank you.”

I don’t quite get what you are all crapping on about….. sorry for the multiple posts, however your reply forum does not like url’s.

who the hell reviews the Oscar transcripts anyway? it’s a monday morning for christ’s sake…

THAT BEING SAID… i’m with Patrick W. in calling “bullshit” on this one, because it certainly is bullshit. gay or straight, it was actually the most touching and heartwarming part of the ‘thank you’.

so… BULLSHIT.

Normally I’m one of the first to get riled up about things, but jeez, this was the last award of a very long night. Can’t a mistake just be a mistake sometimes?

A transcript is a written record of spoken language. It is expected to be an exact and unedited record of every spoken word, with each speaker indicated.

There is no good excuse for his personal thanks to be left out. It was said loud and clear…not under the sound of the orchestra. Everyone heard his words loud and clear.

The “Academy” can kindly go fuck itself.

If the folks typing the closed captioning managed to type it in, then the people issuing the transcripts could have managed…unless someone told them to strike it.
