What's your Six-Word Acceptance speech?



Backstory

With the Oscars coming up on Sunday, Feb. 24, Im curious what your acceptance speech would be. Share you six words and then, if you like, add a sentence or two explaining what award or honor you've won.

How the fuck did I win?

favepeep says,

p.s. I'd like to think I won for writing an original screenplay! Or perhaps directing.

TheAngstyPoet says,

Fuck it. Thank you to myself.

Just kidding! It would probably be:

All those nights procrastinating paid off.

Explanation: I procrastinate A LOT. However I seem to always pull it off and make it work.

TheAngstyPoet says,

Actually it'd probably be. "All those nights procrastinating worked out"
