While movie buffs and Hollywood all eagerly await Oscar night because of the prestigious honor that winds up being given to some of the best in film, others look forward to big night for another reason-the incredibly memorable acceptance speeches.

Whether they're funny, emotional, poignant, or simply hold special meaning, several speeches stand out every year at the Oscars-with only a few which remain as those that stand out in history. While several of the speeches seem to be given by Best Actress winners, others have come from actors, directors, and even the song writers.

Here is Enstars' ranking of ten of the most memorable Oscar speeches of all time:

1. Halle Berry, Best Actress in a Leading Role for Monster's Ball, 2002

Berry was hardly able to keep it together during her monumental win, crying hard and even shaking as she went up to accept her trophy. Berry became the first black woman in history to win the award, and acknowledged how epic the moment was in her speech, saying "This moment is so much bigger than me. This is for every nameless, faceless woman of colour that now has a chance because this door has opened."

2. Kristen Anderson-Lopez & Robert Lopez, Best Original Song For Let It Go from Frozen, 2014

Not only was the win a huge coup for Lopez because it made him a new member of the exclusive EGOT club, but the couple was absolutely adorable in their speech by pretty much composing a song along the way by rhyming the names all together.

3. Jennifer Lawrence, Best Actress in a Leading Role for Silver Linings Playbook, 2013

Lawrence suffered an embarrassing fall on the way up to the stage when she tripped over her huge dress-and then memorably chalked up the standing ovation she received from everyone in the auditorium to them feeling sorry that she fell.

4. Meryl Streep, Best Actress in a Leading Role for The Iron Lady, 2012

Streep, who seems to be a perennial nominee year after year (she has famously been nominated 19 times since 1979 and won three times), and she chose to acknowledge those who criticize the Academy's love affair with her by beginning her speech by going "Her, again?" before shrugging it off with a "whatever."

5. Daniel Day-Lewis, Best Actor in a Leading Role for Lincoln, 2013

Day-Lewis definitely deserved his win because of the amount of work he put into his portrayal of Abraham Lincoln, but he decided to have some fun with award presenter Streep when he picked up his trophy, by pretending he had actually been approached to portray her Oscar-winning role of Margaret Thatcher before she was.

6. Sandra Bullock, Best Actress in a Leading Role for The Blind Side, 2010

Unfortunately for Bullock, her speech becomes more memorable for the fact that she profusely thanked her husband at the time, Jesse James, and declared how much she loved him-only for her amazing win to become overshadowed just days later by the shocking reveal that he had cheated on her multiple times.

7. James Cameron , Best Director or Titanic, 1998

It'd be hard to forget Cameron's end to his speech, where he quoted Jack Dawson's famous line from the epic film, where he stood at the bow of the massive ship, threw his arms out to his sides and shouted 'I'm the king of the world!".

8. Matthew McConaughey, Best Actor in a Leading Role for Dallas Buyer's Club, 2014

Not only did McConaughey do his famous acceptance "Alright, alright, alright," during this speech as well, but he also managed to work in references to what he believed his father was doing in Heaven. However, his part about seeing his future self as his own hero did baffle some.

9. Julia Roberts, Best Actress in a Leading Role for Erin Brokovich, 2001

Everyone hates being cut off by the orchestra during their speeches, and Roberts made no qualms about making sure the conductor didn't do that to her as well during her speech, by turning to him and telling him to sit down and not be so quick at shooing her off the stage.

10. Sally Field, Best Actress in a Leading Role for Place in the Heart, 1985

No matter how memorable other speeches have been over the years, nothing has yet managed to quite top Field's emotional win, which gave probably the most quoted line in Oscar history: "You like me, right now, you like me!"

The Oscars air at 8:30 p.m. Sun. Feb. 22 on ABC.
