(A.) “Two years ago I received an Honorary Oscar, but for a man of my determination and honesty, it was a hollow victory. It really meant nothing. As a matter of fact, I only keep the shrine open two afternoons a week.” (1955)

(B.) “This is the 51st Annual Academy Awards— two hours of sparkling entertainment spread out over a four hour show.” (1979)

(C.) “…Welcome to Monday Night Live. When the most important secrets in Hollywood are contained in briefcases held by two men whose complete silence can be depended upon: Poindexter and North.” (1987)

(D.) “Was that for me or are you just glad I’m not Snow White? I thought we’d bring her out and do the Lambada— the forbidden dance.” (1989)

(E.) “Last year, as the global film community knows, I made my big screen debut in a little something called Cabin Boy. And I, too, was lucky enough to turn words into magic.” (1995)

(F.) “For those of you scoring at home, keep it down, honey, we’re doing a show here.” (1999)

(G.) “Now I don’t like the Oscar stage being used for promotion. One year I watched Billy Crystal ride out here on a horse just to promote his movie City Slickers. And I was so mad it just made me want to start bringing down the house.” (2003)

(H.) “Welcome to the 77th and last Academy Awards.” (2005)

(I.) “Tonight is the night we celebrate excellence in film, with me, the fourth male lead from Death to Smoochy.” (2006)

(J.) "I think most people dream of winning an Academy Award. I had a dream of actually hosting the Academy Awards, and so let that be a lesson to you kids out there— aim lower." (2007)
