I was watching Robin Williams promoting his Broadway CD and DVD on the Late Show with David Letterman, and it reminded me that Williams can actually be funny when hes not acting in crappy films. A few years back Williams won an award on TV (not the Oscars), and his acceptance speech went off on tangents everywhere. The only bit I remember is when he did an impression of Mother Theresa with his fist. It was so funny that Dan Ackroyd, who might have been the host, announced that Williams had won another award that was completely made-up, just as an excuse to get Williams back onstage. He did, and ended his second speech with the words, "This award is really insignificant." I want to see these acceptance speeches again. Where did they take place and how can i get a copy? |

I haven't been able to track down a transcript, but I wonder whether the occasion may have been the 55th Annual Golden Globes Awards ceremony. Robin did quite a bit of ad-libbing to cover for the absence of Christine Lahti: "When the award for best actress in a television drama series was announced, winner Christine Lahti (Chicago Hope) was nowhere to be found. A man (her husband?) took the stage and stalled, hoping she would return from the ladies' room momentarily. When a few uneventful seconds passed, Robin Williams (dangerously seated right next to the stage) jumped up and ad-libbed, passing the time as only he can do until Miss Lahti's arrival. Lahti accepted both the award and a hand towel which Williams managed to pull out of thin air." http://www.moviereel.com/gg9798.html |
