Genre Criticism of Acceptance Speeches
Acceptance speeches come in many different forms. Actors have thanked God; the people who helped them achieve their goals or celebrated their excellence. Enough speeches have been heard to create a general format of what makes an acceptable speech. Lupita Nyong’o gave a speech that fell within certain parameters of “acceptance format” while still breaking new ground. Generic criticism will show how her speech stands out among the many & why it is so special. Not only to Hollywood Actors but to anyone who has a dream. Proving that “no matter where you’re from, you’re dreams are valid”.
