Gwyneth Paltrow Wins Best Actress: 1999 Oscars

Watched this (unattached) clip for the first time in 20 years and, while Ms. Paltrow gave a fine performance, it always irked me that she thanked – by my count – 23 people by name in her acceptance speech, including two corpses, but failed to thank the very screenwriters (Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard) who earlier won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar for a film entitled – oh, irony of ironies – “Shakespeare in Love.”

PS: But be of good cheer. She did thank Harvey Weinstein.
