Where can I find Oscar acceptance speeches?

Where can I find videos of the Oscar acceptance speeches from tonight?

Because the telecast (of course) ran over and I was tivoing it, I missed the last half hour. Basically, I missed everything after best actress (also known as all the awards that count). I know who won, but I'd like to see the speeches. Should I just monitor youtube and so forth for the next few days, or does some source already exist?

Best answer: Nowhere (legally). The Academy does not release video of the awards, and vigorously prosecutes infringers. This is why it is so widely watched.

OK, well, where can we find them illegally?

Wait at the most a couple of days, and they'll definitely be on YouTube. There are already some music performances from tonight up there.

I have "heard" from "friends" that it usually takes about 4-6 hours after a show airs for the first torrents to be posted. Since the Oscars is a long show, it takes longer to encode, so expect the full show to be up in a couple hours. I have also heard that if you googled something like "tv torrent" or "[insert TV show name] torrent" you might find what you're looking for.

Not sure about the acceptance speeches but you can see the show's intro over at onegoodmore.org. [Quicktime Video 9.9MB 13'39"]

Best answer: YouTube has acceptance speeches for Best Actress, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Picture.

Is there anywhere you can find the text of past acceptance speeches? (no video, just transcripts?)
