She's a modern Liza Minnelli. Minus the booze & coke. LIZA 2008!!!!!
LOVE HUH!!!
What a BEAUTIFUL and touching speach.
She is amazing. I love her.
Wow, that was beautiful.
She's so very well spoken. What a simple, but poignant speech. I'm duly impressed.
FIGURES HER BROTHER'S TAKEN….DAMN! HOW COOL OF A SIS IN LAW WOULD SHE BE?
Re: Nella – #87 GO NELLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE RIGHT …………AND FIERCE! HAPPY EASTER
I'm just sitting here crying. how amazing is her mind?! uhh…Why can't we all think like this?!?!?! Everybody jump on the bandwagon! It's not too late to email, send letters to, CALL your local legislator, hell call Mr. Bush himself. Do anything but stand around. www.hrc.com
Beautiful…inside and out.
Wow, great speech! love her.
that was truly inspiring.anne hathaway is a talented young women in hollywood, and her genuineness is admirable. other young actresses in hollywood should aspire to be like her.we all should.that was beautiful.
Without a doubt, she is class personified. Makes it hard to hate her for being so gorgeous and talented!
I LOVE HER!!! SHE ROCKS!!!!!
She is such a down to earth sweetheart. Her speech made me cry!
Re: shelly – What's the matter sweetie, did you put your IUD in upside down today?
Could she be anymore adorable?
damn, that woman is so sweet she makes me want to hurl. people like that are so fake. disney should pick her ass up. she couldn't act for much else, anyway.
Re: Twitterzoom –
Fuck off with you're fucking spam.
I even like her Anne more than I did already.. What a bright, talented and beautiful woman.
I LOVE HER!!!!!!!
what an amazing speech. Thank god for decent human beings.
Im a gay father of 32 year old. My daghther is 11 year old. Its a choice than I did younger. Anne really touched my heart because she is veru couragous to defend publically the gay community. Bravo! (sory im from Montreal and French…like Celine Dion:))
She rocks. What a cool chick. More celebrities should be like her.
#66 -
Agree!
She is so beautiful. Perfect. I really think she's the most beautiful woman in Hollywood, inside and out. If only all straight people were as loving and accepting as her, the world would be a much better place.
GO ANNE, GO! Working with Meryl has certainly rubbed off on you!!! Using your celebrity in this way, rather than selling designer labels will endeare you even more.. If you're reading this, thanks for just being you…speaking from the heart just shows what an insightful, open and honest upbringing can do.. your parents must be so proud!
gross.
Ok, I officially love her to pieces. Her speech brought tears to my eyes. May we all be so courageous - although she says it's just being decent - in standing up for the rights of LGBT people, and may the day come when we no longer need to.
loooooove
I have always loved her acting, very sweet, but now I see what a wonderful human being she is. She really is wonderful! What a great role model for everyone of every age!
Anne Hathaway for President!
Nice to see a young beautiful woman in Hollywood with her head on straight. She is an amazing young woman!
SHE IS SO AMAZING!! she is so graceful and charismatic! she is a wonderful role model
Oh, she is so sweet! Luv her more than butter!
i teared. i love what she represents.
I prefer the real Humanitarians like Anne, who don't need to call the media, the paps to record everything they do!
Take that brangelina! you scumbags!!
awww… made me tear up!
That was incredible. OK, maybe a little preachy, but she rocks!
So classy. I love her.
Well I am not a fan of the Gay thingy. The bible says its wrong. period. and God hates the sin but loves the sinner.
I knew she was gonna mention Brokeback…
Congrat-fuck-u-lations to Anne and her family. There is nothing "alternative" to being LBGT. Same-sex couples have existed since the beginning of time. Horray and props to a great actress sticking up for what is right in this (repressive, Republican, fascist) world.
she is truly inspiring. it brought tears to my eyes. gotta love her.
Re: msr – Jealous much…she's an amazing actress…
She is taking a stance when others won't be so bold. You have to give her credit for that. In Hollywood, it's not easy to say something that you know many in America will disagree with. She gets points for saying something controversial and important.
So beautiful. very well said
sweetest most beautiful actress in the world
hi poopsie
A class act.
ugh i love her
*SIGHS*
Thank God. All is not lost:) This made my day!:)
Oh, she's an angel. She and Charlize Theron and others are the reason I keep hope alive.
shes fucking amazing i love ana omg great speech i support ♥
U GO GIRL!!!
I ve always loved !!
I Love Anna, She used to shop in a store i worked on 5th ave and she is the sweetest woman ever. She was so natural, a kinda and she looks fabulous in person. LOVE YOU ANNE, YOU ROCK
I love her! Not only is she an amĂ¡zing actress, but she's also an inspiring role model for everyone.
I love Anne, but all the Heathens who are criticizing Jake for not making a statement after his death– why not criticize Anne too?
Sorry- not fair to Anne- but it pisses me off.
Omg! I think that I am gay, Shiit I realized it after watching her speech
. I am Gay gay gay…….
What a true darling! I always liked her, and now even more! I didn't know she had a gay brother but wow, her family is a depiction of every gay's dream come true.
Anne Hathaway ROCKS!
PPPffff I like her but her speech is sooo cheesy !!
To Anne Hathway Not brAngelina - It was a wonderful speech. FYI - Anne's role model is actually Angelina. Your post reminded me of an interview she did with ABC News.
"For inspiration, Hathaway turns to Angelina Jolie, whose charitable work prompted Hathaway to go to Cambodia and work with Jolie on a documentary.
"Everyone thought of her as this kind of glamorous person, and she showed us that doesn't excuse you from your duties as a human being."
She is excellent! Didn't really like her before but totally have respect for her now! I love her! he he
i never cried so much during a speech.. u go gurl..lol she's ova…she gets her 10's down the runway.. she walks fem queen wit a twist and eats..lol
haha she made me cry when i watched that. Damn, I'm such a sap!!
Anne Hathaway is amazing! I love, love, love her, not just because she's a great actress, but because she supports something that I think is an extremely important issue as well and that I believe not longer should be an issue. Equal rights for everyone!
she's so sweet!! proof that not all actresses are slutty airheads
Aww! She is so sweet!
she is such a great person.
That was such a wonderful speech. She looked so beautiful and is a true class act!
love her! she's awsome!
Haha! You people are acting like she wrote this cliched piece of shit. She even criticized the writer (the one who forgot to delete the word "many"). That and her ad-libbing were the real Anne Hathaway.
And I'm not impressed. Not even with the wink.
PS: My brother's gay, too.
brownie points your an idiot. You are one of the reasons why hate will always exist.
I LOVE HER!! MWAH to her
Now THIS is the type of celebrity that people should be looking up to. While you idiots out there who admire trash like Britney Spears, there are REAL, TALENTED, SMART celebrities like Anne Hathaway that actually do something good for the world and have class.
I think she's a real inspiration. Even though she is famous she still tries to act normal and follow her own beliefs which is great! She seems really strong and self assured, wish I could be more like her!
"Love is a human experience not a political statement"
You said it girl!
Gotta love Anne, she's perfection!! Nuff said.
So pretty and a great speaker =)
Great speech and i loved the tribute for Heath!
Tears…. I am humbled…
She is so fugly…what is the attraction? Seriously, she wears hideous red lipstick. she looks like a porn star..oh never mind, I see what the *f* all the attention is about. You people put "stupid" in the dictionary
omg!! Luv her!!!!!! This touches me very much. I am the mom of an 8 year old gender variant biological boy. I pray that the world changes.
She rules! I know what its like to have a gay brother! I would never change it for the world. WE should just love EVERYONE no matter what! I hope I can be like her one day!
She's beautiful inside and out.
she may be an absolutely amazing human being, but she's a shitty actress.
how pompous ! she sounds very self-rightous and all the pausing for thanks is a little nausiating !! sorry , but it's just too obvious to not comment on !
How sweet is she. Quit refreshing that a Hollywood babe is not up her own a*se.
LEARN AMERICA… THAT IS CLASS… BRAVO ANNE, WE SHOULD LOOK UP TO SOMEONE LIKE YOU… YOU ARE INSPIRING, I LOVE YOUR MESSAGE… AMAZING
Re: Tristan – U're 100% right!
It's good and building to see such an attitude and hear true wrods.
Good luck for U Anne!
A star with substance, courage and a voice!
A role model for all.
Bravo Anne, a hero of your own design.
She's awesome!! I wish everyone would think like Anne and her family!
she is so smug! Its like shes not so much thanking people for an award as she is snarling at conservatives. I am not in opposision to what she is speaking for, but this is an acceptance speech. It should be sincere not ruthless!
God she is a phoney skank!
i'm confused - what is the award for - having a gay brother?
it's an interesting statement on America that a person gets an award for NOT being a BIGOT. geez, half my family and friends are gay and i don't think about it one way or the other. why is sexual orientation even an issue?
i guess i should win a cruise or something,
Very inspiring!
I believe she is right on with the statement that love is a human experience not a political statement. Respect is reciprocal and change starts at home and in communities. All important ideas to improve the status of human rights around the world.
stunning in every way.
Re: Jennifer – You talk about your MOTHER like that?!?!?
Whatta CUNT!
perez hilton is sick and ugly
Aww, it reminds me of when I found out my little brother way gay. How can there still be people out there who are so hateful as to be anti-gay? I love how they try to paint it into a positive, by saying they protect the sanctity of marriage or some shit like that. Give me a break.
