Who had the best Oscar speech?

I have to say that Lupita Nyong'o wins hands down. Matthew McConaughey though had a very good speech that also deserves an honorable mention.

Then Nyong'o

Were my two faves.

I really didn't love McConaughey's or Blanchett's.

McCon rambled too much for me and Blanchett was just boring.

McQueen dedicated the honor to those who suffered slavery and "the 21 million who still endure slavery today."

"Everyone deserves not just to survive, but to live," said McQueen, who promptly bounced into the arms of his cast. "This is the most important legacy of Solomon Northup."
