Today we roll out the red carpet for some of the Oscar winners! Let?s listen to what they have to say ;) NOTE: Something unusual happened this week! Soon after I prepared the class and was ready to post it, ?The Guardian? removed the video from YouTube (I don?t know why). Even though there are lots of videos with extracts from the Oscars night, they aren?t the exact compilation? well, since the class was ready and we go through the whole script line by line in class, I decided to post it anyway, for you can still practice and learn! You can also look for these specific parts on YouTube, to check the originals ;)

ENGLISH TRANSCRIPT
JANELLE
We celebrate all the amazing talent in this
room; we celebrate all the women who
directed phenomenal films and I?m so proud
to stand here as a black, queer artist telling stories.
JANE: And the Oscar goes to ?Parasite?
INTERPRETER: We never imagined this to ever happen, we are so happy
[Music]
Joaquin Phoenix I've been a
scoundrel all my life I've been selfish
I've been cruel at times hard to work
with and ungrateful, but so many of you
in this room have given me a second
chance and I think that's when we're at
our best, when when we support each other
not when we cancel each other out for
past mistakes but when we help each
other to grow when we educate each other
when we guide each other towards
redemption; that is the best of humanity
And the Oscar goes to Renee Zellweger
RENEE When we celebrate our heroes we uh,
you know, we're reminded of who we are as one people, united.
And the Oscar goes to Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit)
This is really great, I dedicate this to all the indigenous
kids who live in the world who want to do art
and dance and write stories we are the
original storytellers and we can make it
here as well. Thank You. Kia Ora.
And the Oscar goes to hair love, Matthew A. Cherry,
and Karen Rupert Toliver we have a firm belief
that representation matters deeply especially,
especially in cartoons because in
cartoons that's when we first see our
movies and it's how we, we shape our
lives and think about how we see the world?.

JANELLE
N�s celebramos todo o talento incr�vel deste
quarto comemoramos todas as mulheres que
dirigiram filmes fenomenais e estou muito
orgulhosa de estar aqui como uma artista
negra e ?queer? que conta hist�rias.
JANE: o Oscar vai para o ?Parasita?
INT�RPRETE: N�s nunca imaginamos
que isso fosse (jamais) acontecesse,
estamos t�o felizes
[M�sica]
Joaquin Phoenix Eu tenho sido um
canalha toda a minha vida eu tenho sido ego�sta,
eu tenho sido cruel, dif�cil de trabalhar (com)
�s vezes e ingrato, mas muitos de voc�s nesta
sala me deram uma segunda chance e eu acho
que � quando estamos em nosso melhor, quando
quando nos apoiamos, n�o quando n�s cancelamos
um ao outro por erros passados, mas quando
ajudamos o outro a crescer, quando nos educamos
quando nos guiamos para
reden��o; isso � o melhor da humanidade
E o Oscar vai para Renee Zellweger
RENEE, Quando celebramos nossos her�is,
lembramos quem somos como um povo, unidos.
E o Oscar vai para Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit)
Isso � realmente �timo, eu dedico isso a todas
as crian�as ind�genas que vivem no mundo que
querem fazer arte e dan�ar e escrever hist�rias,
somos os contadores de hist�rias originais e
podemos faz�-lo aqui tamb�m. Obrigado Kia Ora.
E o Oscar vai para o amor ao cabelo,
Matthew A. Cherry e Karen Rupert Toliver
n�s temos uma firme convic��o de que
representa��o importa profundamente,
especialmente, especialmente em desenhos
animados porque em desenhos animados �
quando vemos pela primeira vez o nosso
filmes e � assim que n�s moldamos nossas
vidas e pensar em como vemos a mundo".
