Where can I see Stanley Donen's 1997 Honorary Academy Award acceptance speech?

I've been trying to find online a video of Stanley Donen accepting his honorary academy award in 1997 without much success. I have a very vague memory of it and I'm longing to see it again. It's been taken down from YouTube and I was wondering if anyone knows where else it may be hiding. My search skills are crap. It's the best acceptance speech I can remember seeing, legendary director of musical films starts singing "Cheek to Cheek" to his golden man, and I've been wanting to see it again for ages. Recommendations for online resources are good but also I'd be prepared to buy a decent compilation of Oscar moments if that's the only way I can see it again.

Where to find an online Oscar pool?

Which is the best site to run an Oscar pool on? Follow-up, where should I go for a reliable guide to who will win the obscure categories like best visual effects, best sound mixing, and best cinematography. I want to run and win an Oscar pool. Ideally I would like a site that shows everyone's picks and shows who is ahead minute-by-minute during the broadcast. It would also be nice if the site allowed you to weight certain categories (Best actor/actress, best movie) double.

Since no site will probably meet all of those parameters, I'd love to see whatever you can find. Thanks!

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?

Oscar Online?

Where can I watch, or listen to, the Academy Awards live on the internet? A repeat of last year's question. Has anything changed?

Where can I watch the Oscars online?

I need to find an a site that streams/broadcasts the Oscars live. I'm in the uk and for the first time since I can remember the BBC are not broadcasting the Academy Awards live. It seems Sky Movies have the exclusive rights to the live broadcast which casts doubt on my yearly ritual of staying up late and reporting in sick the next day.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? A site that can stream the Oscars to my computer. I'd even be willing to pay a sign up fee if that is the case.
