Come Sunday's Emmy Awards, there's a chance that about a quarter of the winners will acknowledge the other nominees in their categories, about a tenth will read from notes they'd prepared and a third will thank their parents.
Aside from the fashion, the audience shots of nominees before the winner of a category is announced, and the ultimate naming of that winner, it is the acceptance speech that becomes front and center of awards show ceremonies.
Ahead of this weekend's biggest night in television,
New York magazine put together an
analysis of all the speeches made at the last three Primetime Emmy Awards.
By a few numbers:
52 percent of winners thanked their spouses or significant others;
23 percent of winners hugged the presenters when they arrived onstage;
2:57 made
Al Pacino's 2010 acceptance speech the longest in three years;
24 seconds made 'The Office' director
Jeffrey Blitz's the shortest speech in 2009;
and a surprising
8 percent of winners cried.
