It's not always the big names that have the best speeches. In 2010, prolific composer Michael Giacchino won his first Oscar for the score of Up, and he used his speech to thank the people in his life who encouraged him to pursue his passion and to send that same message to any kids watching:
"Never once in my life did my parents ever say, 'What you're doing is a waste of time.' Never. And I grew up; I had teachers, I had colleagues, I had people that I worked with all through my life who always told me, 'What you're doing is not a waste of time.' So that was normal to me that it was OK to do that. I know there are kids out there that don't have that support system, so if you're out there and you're listening, listen to me: if you want to be creative, get out there and do it; it's not a waste of time. Do it. OK?"
