Gwyneth Paltrow is arguably the most famous Oscar cry baby as she sobbed through her acceptance speech when she won Best Actress for Shakespeare In Love in 1999.
She was already struggling to hold back the tears as stepped on to the stage to collect her trophy from Jack Nicholson but managed to hold it together as she thanked the cast and crew she'd worked with.
But when she started to thank her family, she couldn't stop crying with her voice becoming squeaky and at times inaudible.
Quote:
Halle Berry gave Gwyneth a run for her money as the biggest blubber when she received her best actress award in 2002 for Monster's Ball - making her the first black woman to be given the honour.
'Oh my god,' she sobbed with tears streaming down her face, 'this moment is so much bigger than me.'
Quote:
Jennifer Hudson could barely start her speech in 2007 when she won the best supporting actress award for Dreamgirls as she was so overcome with emotion.
'Oh my god, I just have to take this moment in, I just cannot believe this, look what god can do, if my grandmother was here to see me now...' she gushed.
Quote:
Natalie Portman can be forgiven for her tears as she won best actress in Black Swan in 2011 as she was pregnant at the time and at the mercy of her hormones.
She sniffed her way through an otherwise eloquent acceptance speech with tears in her eyes as she thanked her husband Benjamin Millepied for giving her the greatest role of all as a mother.
Quote:
Octavia Spencer was given a standing ovation as she accepted her gong in 2012 for The Help and the reaction meant she struggled to speak though most of her speech.
'I'm sorry, I'm freaking out!' she wept.
Quote:
Anne Hathaway maintained her composure when she made her acceptance speech in 2013 when she won for her role in Les Miserables but it all caught up with her backstage when she burst into tears at the photocall clutching her gold statue.
Quote:
Ben Affleck struggled to contain his emotions as Argo - which he directed, produced and starred in -won the Best Picture Oscar in 2013.
He became emotional as he thanked his wife - actress Jennifer Garner - for working hard to make their marriage last and his voice broke as he dedicated the award to their children Violet, Samuel and Seraphina.
Halle's cry is the most iconic acceptance speech of all time.
I was 13 years old in 2002, and I swear I cackled when she started thanking her lawyer
And when she started making squeaky noises when they were telling her to wrap it up

"WAIT A MINUTE, I gotta take this 74 YEARS I GOTTA TAKE THIS TIME"
She was NOT having it with them trying to cut her off
Halle Berrys speech and reaction has to be one of the most overreacted and cringe worthy moments ever. Gosh, she shure knows have to act like a total drama queen.
