Ben Affleck and Matt Damon

The first thing out of Ben Affleck's mouth as he stepped up to the mike was: "I just said to Matt losing would suck and winning would be really scary. And it's really, really scary." Points for honesty. Matt Damon's face as Ben goes through the list of thank yous is priceless. He raised his fist to someone in the audience, presumably his mother, as if to say "We did it!" But the most endearing thing about their 1998 speech for their Best Original Screenplay win for the drama Good Will Hunting was that it's almost what you would imagine yourself being like if you won an Oscar. No false pretenses -- just completely out of breath, nervous as all heck, naming everyone you've ever met in your life, and grinning so hard it hurts.
