Marketa Irglova gets 2nd chance to make Oscar speech
One of the best moments in last night’s Oscar ceremony was when Best Original Song co-winner 19-year-old Marketa Irglova was brough out by Jon Stewart and allowed to speak after winning for “Falling Slowly” the tune from the $100,000 budget film “Once” which was shot in just 3 weeks in Dublin.
Her song-writing partner Glen Hansard spoke and then Bill Conti’s orchestra music cued her off and the telecast went to commercial. But producer of the Oscars Gil Cates insisted she come abck out and speak and so host Jon Stewart introduced her and allowed her to say:
“This is amazing. Make art. Make art….. The fact that we’re standing here tonight, the fact that we’re able to hold this, it’s just proof that no matter how far out your dreams are, it’s possible,” Irglova said during take two. “And, you know, fair play to those who dare to dream, and don’t give up. This song was written from the perspective of hope, and hope, at the end of the day, connects us all, no matter how different we are.”
