Does anyone know of an archive of Oscar acceptance speeches?

Not a complete archive. I found a site containing highlights of memorable speeches and moments, but for a definative listing, you may wish to seek The Answer Man himself, Roger Ebert.

Oscars.org seems to have an archive of speeches going back the last five years. Under "Past Academy Awards" click the "Nth Academy Awards" to go to that year's page, then click "Nth Academy Awards Winners" to go that year's winners, and then click each winner's name, where you can read their speech.

Or you can just use their site search for the word "speech," but either way it's a bit of a pain to navigate.

Thanks Gator. This is good. Too bad it doesn't go deeper. Somewhere on the net, someone's gotta be squirreling these things away...
