Once upon a time in Hollywood there were bright actors and actresses who lit up films, homes, and lives with their brilliance, while fighting against personal/career struggles and going on to achieve the coveted golden statuette known as the Oscars. And Hollywood Insider’s two hour feature hopes to showcase that brilliance of the Academy Awards and the billions of people it inspires.
With the re-birth of Hollywood Insider, since it has been under new management, we have raised our standards and commit to our mission statement which has been fully re-written as “Hollywood Insider focuses on substance and meaningful entertainment, so as to utilize media as a tool to unite and better our world, by combining entertainment, education and philanthropy, while being against gossip and scandal.”
The re-engineering and re-vamping of our media network has motivated us to be attentive towards cinema, TV, digital, and other entertainment vehicles that constantly promote positivity – and the Oscars, also known as, Academy of Motion Picture, Arts and Sciences, happens to be one such organization. This 2-hour feature is a compilation of all the best actor/actress winners’ speeches since the beginning of the Oscars in 1929 to the most recent in 2019. We hope this inspiring and educational series will help all viewers to achieve their dreams regardless of their diverse backgrounds be it due to their race, gender, nationality, ethnicity, age, sexuality, socio-economic conditions, religion, etc.

The Transformative And Inspirational Powers Of Academy Awards’ Speeches
This is Hollywood Insider’s tribute to the Academy Awards, the dreams and aspirations it fosters in people all over the world. Without the Academy Awards, we would be left a barrage of constant mind-numbing, originality deficit, formulaic sequels over and over again. We hope this thorough 2 -hour feature detailing Academy Award/Oscar Award winners in the Best Actor/Actress categories and their speeches will reach audiences and inspire/empower them to believe in themselves. Actors and actresses all over the world know the goods and the bads that comes with their profession – thus the winners being recognized for their craft, talent and work with the coveted golden statuette known as Oscar is a dream that is shared by many all over the world. We sincerely hope that aspiring artists, performers, and people from all industries, can view this feature and be inspired as well as empowered to achieve their individual dreams. We created this video so that it entertains, educates and inspires you to achieve your dreams and hope it serves as proof that the winners being from all backgrounds of life – be it race, sexuality, culture, ethnicity, language, nationality – means that anyone can do it. There is a certain transformative power that acceptance speeches have when done right for the billions of viewers watching all over the world.
Whether the golden age of Hollywood has already passed, we are currently in, or is yet to be reached, the Oscars certainly urge people to be inspired by it, celebrate it and aim towards it. At least there are many examples of extraordinary actors and actresses and the many profound speeches along with their inspiring films which encourages us all to aspire to be the best we can be. For me, it is the movies, cinema, films which have constantly mesmerized my instincts, given me hope and guided me along this journey called life. There are many “once upon a time” fairytales and the Oscar winners certainly have their own “once upon a time” fairytales to speak of. Thanks to cinema, I too can say “Once upon a time in Hollywood, cinema guided, mesmerized and saved me. Hence, here I am today giving a tribute to the Academy Awards for continuing to inspire me and giving me more to aspire to.”
