Oscar Speeches: Natalie Portman, Sally Fields And The Weepiest Academy Award Acceptance Speeches In History (VIDEO)

First Posted: 02/17/2012 8:47 am EST Updated: 02/20/2013 5:33 pm EST

"You like me!" shouted a hysterical Sally Field, after winning an Oscar for "Norma Rae." "Right now, you like me!" Winning an Oscar is every actor's dream, so it only makes sense that some award winners react by openly weeping in front of millions of people worldwide.

Sally's famous 1985 speech wasn't the first that involved tears, and it certainly won't be the last. Natalie Portman cried during her win for "Black Swan," as did Halle Berry for "Monster's Ball." In honor of the 85th annual Academy Awards, Moviefone presents the weepiest Oscar speeches in history. Get out the tissues!

The Academy Awards -- with host Seth MacFarlane -- air Sunday, Feb. 24.

Whenever there is a success we are emotional. because that was the result of our speechless efforts. So we deserve success. and tears at the time of success is always of happiness. They are great stars and they also deserve it.

These are professionals, they could control their emmotions; I think the crying thing (like the tripping thing) is over done .

Professionals are humans too.....and humans have emotions...Crying is not overdone, it is part of being a person.
