Melissa Leo Is Sorry For Dropping That F-Bomb On Your Innocent Ears
After watching Melissa Leo's acceptance speech at the Oscars last night for the third time, it seems like she practiced it for hours beforehand in front of the bathroom mirror in her hotel suite and made her assistant shine a flashlight at her in lieu of a spotlight. When Melissa looked up at the "little people" in the balcony with the same wide-eyed look I throw when there's a 9-inch peen in front of me (in my dreams), I thought Toto was going to scamper out on stage and she'd break into an acoustic version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." If those kids didn't claim that song for the finale, she would've. Laying it on thick! Seriously, Melissa is like the mobile park version of Mindy Grayson.
Before snatching the walking apparatus from a fragile and precious invalid (aka Kirk Douglas), Melissa shot the fuck word at the audience. ABC hit the 'THINK OF THE CHILDREN" button and so it was bleeped out for TV, but here's the uncensored clip below:
Kathie Lee Gifford, who is forever the epitome of grace and class, couldn't believe that Melissa would spit out such filth during her big moment. To which I say, why the fuck not! a) Sometimes our internal emotions are percolating so much that the only way to get them out is through the letters F-U-C-K. b) A fuck gets more attention than a no fuck.
Melissa apologized later backstage saying that she was so overcome with emotion: “I apologize from the bottom of my heart. Just slipped out. I was a little excited.”
Fun fact: That little quote is the exact same thing Kevin Spacey said after pulling down his fly in front of Jake Gyllenhaal backstage.
But Melissa should really apologize for wearing your memaw's favorite Easter doily table runner under your old Christmas wrapping.
Here's more of Melissa Leo's crazy ass as well as the other acting winners from last night (click here for the full list if you haven't already memorized it).
• 
Mr. Bale & Mr. Firth are good actors, but these shows just seem to kiss a lot of ass.
I've been watching watching you watching me... Loose Ends
There was no pleeping out of the Fuck word on Canadian TV!
It actually made me look up from my laptop for a moment during this snooze fest, but I still can't stand Leo. She comes across as cheap, desperate and trashy just like her character in The Fighter. I was rooting for Nicole anyway.
NEXT!
PS: Cant's stand Natalie Portman, she is too pious and completely overrated. Mila Kunis was much better in that boring swan movie. I am glad I got to see that movie for FREE at a press preview otherwise I would have asked for my money back ... seriously!
Awwww, I liked her speech. I thought she was nervous and adorable. And the witty banter with Douglas at the beginning. *And* I love her dress.
However, I was really hoping Hailee Steinfeld or Jacki Weaver would have won; they were both FUCKING phenomenal.
I think Cate Blanchett's gown was my favorite of the night. I really liked Mila Kunis' too; maybe too light for her coloring, but still a gorgeous dress. I did NOT like Natalie Portman's ensemble—especially not those curtain tassel earrings!—but that baby friend of hers is doing wonders for her rack!
Honestly, I didn't see many others' gowns; we threw a party, so I was basically mixing drinks and then cleaning up others' grenadine party fouls for three hours.

I like boring things.
Her phoney ass, overdramatic self was offensive, not the use of fucking.
And Natalie Portman and that other dude are why those Star Wars prequells sucked so bad. Make no mistake. To FUCK those up took real bad acting. It was a gold mine, and turned into a turd with her. She is, as they say in sports "OV-Er-RA-ted." I won't be watching Black Swan or that Ashton Koocher crap any time soon. Wahhh!
1. No offense, wait, no, please be offended: Is the F word really going to fuck up a kid? Come on. I am suprised to see any D-Listed account holder upset by this. We are becoming a nation that bows down to a small minority of riteous ass holes! Do you really care what words your kids hear? Or is it you just don't want your kids to embarass you by saying it? Either way, who cares? Anyone that is shocked or offended by a kid saying or hearing the word Fuck is overreacting.
2. "Dird Dud-dess" is old as dirt. He needs to go retire and get out of the, any spotlight. A stroke effects your brain, and makes it so you can't talk, and you still can think. But MAYBE he can't think, because it was embarrasing that he came out and hogged the stage, and made those young girls flirt with him. He looks very odd with that face lift. Who gets a face lift after they had a stroke? What a vain and petty little old man. Spartacus would have never got a facelift!!!!
Fuck her F-word (and overacting speech), WHO was the hot man who ushered Kirk Douglas away?
I just saw Portman's acceptance speech, and all I could think about was "Argh, those ugly earrings are torturing her earlobes!"
Damn, I loathe her. Thank Weaving, Hurt, Fry and Pigott-Smith she wasn't enough to ruin V for Vendetta for me.
When Frozen River came out and Bullock won (what the hell) for The Blind Side, everybody was saying Leo deserved the Oscar, instead. I agreed. Now I'm asking myself if she wasn't just playing herself in that movie, too.
I love Christian Bale and Colin Firth. That's all.
I would love Helena Bonham-Carter... if it wasn't for the fact that she's been a real homewrecker.

Silvio Berlusconi, just die already.
The F-bomb is just wrong for worldwide TV with all ages watching. It's the sort of thing a bratty kid does to grab attention.
Here's how you accept an award: First, thank your family. Thank "everyone who helped me get this far/made this possible." They'll all think you meant them, even if you didn't. Thank the Academy or whichever group sponsored the awards. If you can pull it off smoothly and quickly, make a self-deprecating joke. Brevity is golden. Then get off the stage.
PS: For at least the past 40 years, mics have been designed to capture ambient sound. You do not need to bend over to kiss the mic to be heard.
Seriously, Natalie Portman needs to fire her stylist. Her dress looks like one of those prom dresses you pick up at
the prom section of JC Penny or Sears. Terribly cheap looking color, cut and material. Ans then the shoes: they are the same color as the dress - even more tacky. And then look at that hair do and the flat side part without any volume or anything. Urgh. For someone who isnt even 30 years old, she looks kinda burned out and used. Well at least she didnt laugh like a mindless idiot.

"Charlie you fucking bitch, let's work it out" - High Fidelity
Of course she did it on purpose - she planned that shit! Ever since she got the nomination she's been doing anything to get attention. she wanted to be the first person to ever say the F word during an acceptance speech.
It's a shame because she could have just won on her talent alone. Dignity FAIL.
From Spartacus to Fartacus...it sucks getting old but watching Kirk kinda bummed me out.
The only thing I can come up with about the Oscars is that James Franco must be having an affair with some old dude executive with pull in ABC.
I thought Melissa Leo's speech was indulgent. She sold herself in print ads to get the Oscar. Could she have been SO surprised to win?
I didn't care about the F bomb. Big deal.
Why is it so hard to put together a nice, brief speech (save all the boring names til back stage)? Sounding like a breathless country bumpkin who just won the best heifer prize is soooooo tedious.
That said, her performance in the movie was good.
.
.
Melissa Leo is such a disingenuous old bitch. On the red carpet she said, talking about Amy Adams, "She just owned it, embodied it. It is a shame to be nominated against her, but if it came down to her and me, I want to hear her name.”
Puhleeze! That's why you took out all those ads, begging for votes. I really didn't care that much about her saying the F word. It's more a combination of things that have made me intensely dislike her. After hearing her swear on the biggest night of her life in front of the world, I can't help but think this was an Angie Jo situation where she got an Oscar for essentially playing herself.

I would also like to add:
1. Melissa Leo peformance in the Fighter did not garner an Oscar nomination, let alone a win. It's sad what passes for good acting nowadays.

She did indeed "garner" it, which means to gather or collect. I think you mean "earn" or "merit."

I would also like to add:

Her acceptance speech showcased the real person inside her: a melodramatic, egotistical, narcisstic harpy. May the Oscar "supporting actress"curse plague her for years to come.
2. Black Swan & Natalie Portam - ridiculous. Annette Benning gave a much better and stronger performance in "Kids Are Alright." This oversight exemplifies that Hollywood values youth and not genuine talent.

Oh brother. If you feel the need to be offended, be offended that she won after running all those self-promoting ads.
If and when I ever get me an Oscar, I'm not going to feign surprise or "accidentally" drop the F-bomb. I'm going to go up there, proud as a peacock and say, "Thank you, I deserve this, and I DID prepare a speech because I rock and you suck *pllllbbbbbbb*!."
At least THAT would be honest -- and I'd still make the retrospective show year after year.

fair enough, parissuxliterally! although i was not necessarily referring to her acting. i mean, to me she's undoubtedly talented so...i was just wondering what made people shift from having a positive attitude towards her to having a negative one. as for her acting...it's hard for me to tell whether she deserved this award or not as i haven't seen the movie yet but will definitely watch it in the neareast future.

got it! not everyone was praising portman in here...alright! i just can't recall reading one single comment that would say something bad about her back in the day. that's all! these days on the other hand... :/

That wasn't a slip up... just bad acting!
Exactly. My thoughts right from the moment her name was called. All that faux-surprise had been practiced over and over and over. That F-Bomb was no accident. That was planned to make sure she made all the papers the next day. She's represents all that's bad -- and not the fun -- about being a famewhore.
@mr.mercury "She fucking wants her moment to be fucking remembered, as in "you like me!" or "hello, Gorgeous" or when that unknown man streaked behind David Niven back years ago."
Yep. Anyone who does what she did to be noticed by the Academy voters is definitely thinking ahead, the little schemer. My hope is that she will be this generation's Sally Kirkland, showing up at future events wearing cheap sparkly purple spandex with her hair teased to the sky and tits hanging down to her knees, blowing drunken sloppy kisses to the paparazzi, but never getting another chance at Oscar gold... ever.
Then again, maybe that would make her too interesting.

She didn't look surprised or excited at all... the whole speech was well rehearsed and sounded VERY insincere!

Melissa Leo was on a short-lived tv series in the early 90s called "The Young Riders"
--------------------------------------------
I remember her from Homicide: Life on the Streets. With that manimal, Yaffet Kotto, and the immensely under-rated/-used Andre Braugher, I used to love that shit.
Submitted by Haribo on Mon, 02/28/2011 - 4:01pm.
Sorry, but I have never liked Portman or have praised her intellect on here. I have always felt she was a snotty, pretentious over rated actress, who hasn't had a good performance since she was a child in The Professional.
haribo, I can't speak for anyone else, but I just do not think she deserved this award. I have loved her in other movies, but I did not seen anything special about this performance. That is where I am coming from.

calm your asses down, people. where is all this hatred towards natalie portman coming from,huh? has she got knocked up by a kevin federline look alike or something? to be honest i am quite confused as i remember most of you whorez typing here on dlisted (and yes, this is a fact so don't try to deny it)would praise her intellect and her overall persona whenever there was a post about her so i guess my confusion is kinda excused, no?
as for the oscar speeches...my poor poor ears bleed whenever they are subjected to such a dose of bullshit. these speeches are not only as fake as heidi montag's face and tits but they are also dull, too long and not sincere. it seems like the actors/actresses delivering them are still acting while on that stage.

Hekki,
I've known a bunch of professional ballet dancers, mostly from NYCB, and not one of them has talked in a baby voice. Granted, many of them are social dumb-dumbs in a slew of other ways, but baby voice was not something I witnessed. That's the only way Portman has ever talked!
the second I heard Portman's name called I changed the channel. i did not want to hear her speech. especially because i think she sucked in Black Swan. An Oscar for making the same grimace throughout the whole movie? what bullshit.

So am I to understand that she did these three things better than usual for this Black Swan movie? Or maybe she just did them more?
-------------------------------------------------
BINGO.
She didn't do them better...she did all 3 of them a lot more. You are not missing much if you haven't seen that overrated shitfest.

Submitted by madam s.: "...Oh my gosh, that dumb bitch Portman won? ...that ignorant, sorority girl, babyish-sounding voice (even if she's doing a period piece, doesn't matter it's the only way she can talk)."
EXACTLY. I was complaining about that on another site *coughgawkercough* and some dolt said she talked that way for the role. Because ballerinas are immature and stunted and girlish and that's how they talk.
As if a profession dictates one's voice and speech patterns and cadence and pitch and all that.
Melissa Leo was on a short-lived tv series in the early 90s called "The Young Riders" along with Josh Brolin and Stephen Baldwin. Anyone remember that? I watched it religiously cause I was a 14-year-old totally crushing on Josh Brolin. *hangs head in shame*
Probably the most important moment of her career and she fucked it up.
Oh my gosh, that dumb bitch Portman won? The producers of that movie must have been paying people off big time, left and right. Portman is capable of doing three things, which she does in every single thing I've seen her in: 1. Talk in that ignorant, sorority girl, babyish-sounding voice (even if she's doing a period piece, doesn't matter it's the only way she can talk). 2. Histrionic AGITATED FACE (looks like she's straining to take a shit). And 3. Ugly square-mouthed fake crying face.
So am I to understand that she did these three things better than usual for this Black Swan movie? Or maybe she just did them more?
Big fucking deal.
All the uptight ass wads of the world can truly go fuck themselves.
Her potty mouth was the LEAST offensive part of her speech. I was much more put off by the "oh-I'm-just-so-flustered-and-golly-this-room-is-big-and-I-can't-help-but-stutter-and-say-um-fifty-billion-times" shtick.

Yeah, that was a pretty predictable list of winners. At least Natalie, Colin, and Christian.

That whole speech was so disingenuous! And the whoops came out too quickly after the fuck for the fuck to not have been planned. I don't know who this woman is but I already don't like her.
F-bomb or not, we'll never see this bitch doing anything notable again, so who cares?

I watched part of the show last night and did see her receive the award. It seemed to me that she intentionally said the "f" word during her acceptance speech. My guess is she wants to be included in "the most memorable Oscar acceptance speeches of all time" future clips. It totally appeared to be intentional, IMO.

She fucking did that on purpose. She fucking practiced that for weeks (the ones where people were saying nice things to her). She fucking wants her moment to be fucking remembered, as in "you like me!" or "hello, Gorgeous" or when that unknown man streaked behind David Niven back years ago. She'll fucking be forgotten in a year or so when she goes back to making straight-to-DVD movies, like fucking Cuba Gooding.
***********************
A-fucking-men! I was watching the show with my parents & boyfriend last night, and we all said the same thing. Her "Aw, shucks" cutesy schtick was so fucking fake, and she ABSOLUTELY practiced this speech ("fuck" and all!) prior to the show. Even the way she reacted after her name was called was fake fake fucking FAKE.
She pulled this shit to keep people talking about her. Thankfully, I think the vast majority of people see through her white trash bullshit & after this general day-after-Oscars talk fades away, so will she.
I hope, anyway. This bitch bugs me.
