    MSN Entertainment Guide to the 2004 Academy Awards http://entertainment.msn.com/netcal/?netcal=833 Wake Us When It's Over... The highs, lows and snores of the 76th Academy Awards show By Kat Giantis MSN Entertainment Charlize Theron didn't get the same smooch from Adrien Brody that Halle Berry did last year Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Is it over yet? Despite a triumphant night for "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," the 76th annual Academy Awards are sure to go down as one of the most boring ceremonies in recent history. To borrow a line from host Billy Crystal, it was "a weapon of mass sleep induction." It's a shame, too, since this year's Oscars had all the makings of a night to remember, with "Rings" sweeping every category in which it was nominated and tying "Titanic" and "Ben-Hur" with a record 11 statues. Instead, it was a butt-numbing three-and-a-half-hour snoozefest that featured no major upsets, laundry-list acceptance speeches that included nearly every person in New Zealand, tedious presentations, blah fashions and lackluster jokes. And did we mention it was boring? We would have given anything for a moment of unpredictability -- an Uma-Oprah catfight, a Tom and Nicole reunion, even Renee Zellweger tripping over that big-ass bustle on her dress and stumbling down the stairs. Alas, it was not to be. But while the show may have been weapons-grade dull, it still had its share of highs and lows, if you managed to stay awake for 'em.

    RSU International Research Conference 2020 https://rsucon.rsu.ac.th/proceedings 1 MAY 2020 A Study of Figurative Language in Academy Award Acceptance Speeches Vorapon Mahakaew Faculty of Liberal Arts, Rangsit University, Pathum Thani, Thailand Corresponding author, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The objective of this research was to analyze the figurative language in the Academy Award acceptance speeches. According to the principles of qualitative investigation, this study applied a descriptive and interpretative method of content analysis (Miles and Huberman, 1994; Strauss and Corbin, 1998). In the study, the source of data comes from the Academy Award acceptance speeches. Thirty-one speeches from 2004 to 2013 have been chosen for the analysis using seven types of figurative language: climax, hyperbole, hypophora, irony, metaphor, oxymoron, and simile. The theoretical concepts that guided the framework of investigation in this study are related to figurative language. The frequencies of the types of figure of speech were then examined and presented in percentage form. The connotations that were interpreted from the figures of speech were derived into common themes. The results revealed that hyperbole is the most found type of figurative language, using 18 times in 16 speeches. Metaphor holds the second spot for using 16 times in 14 speeches while simile is undiscovered. Following the metaphor is irony with 14 times of usage in nine speeches. Moreover, climax, hypophora, and oxymoron are also found in the study. Keywords: Figurative language, Speech 1. Introduction English is considered the most important language because it is one of the world’s top languages used by people across the globe.

  • Framing Disability
    EMENS (DO NOT DELETE) 10/15/2012 10:10 AM FRAMING DISABILITY Elizabeth F. Emens* Mainstream attitudes toward disability lag behind U.S. law. This tension between attitudes and law reflects a wider gap between the ideas about disability pervasive in mainstream society—what this Ar- ticle calls the “outside” view—and the ideas about disability common within the disability community—what this Article calls the “inside” view. The outside perspective tends to misunderstand and mischarac- terize aspects of the experience, theory, and law of disability. The law can help to close this gap in attitudes by changing the conditions in which attitudes are formed or reinforced. Thus, this Ar- ticle proposes using framing rules to target the moments when non- disabled people make decisions that implicate their future relationship to disability. Framing rules prescribe the frame applied to particular decision moments, by specifying the information and context that ac- company the decision. The current messages surrounding disability decision moments tend to be misleading and negative, rooted in the outside view of disability. The proposed framing rules would instead provide insights from the inside view to people who have a reason to think about disability. This Article examines several decision points to which the inside framing perspective could be applied, including prenatal testing, driv- er’s licensing, and disability insurance. Each of these areas is an ex- ample of a broader domain—thinking about the kind of children we want, injury prevention campaigns, and contingency planning—in which disability is frequently presented in negative terms. Reframing * Professor of Law, Columbia Law School.
