Det er ret let at se hvordan man som Oscar-vinder kan komme til enten at trække sin takketale i langdrag, eller sige noget lettere hovent, fordi man er blevet grebet af øjeblikket. Tilbage i 1997 mener mange at dette skete for instruktør James Cameron, der vandt en række Oscar-priser for Titanic.
I et interview med Yahoo beder han om tilgivelse for blandt andet at have citeret sin egen film, og kaldt sig selv "king of the world". Han har sagt følgende om det øjeblik:
"What I learned is, you don't quote your own movie if you win...Because it's cringeworthy. It makes the assumption that you didn't win by a narrow margin but that every single person sitting in the audience on that night at the Kodak Theatre saw and loved Titanic. We'll never know how much we won by, but it might not have been a landslide at all. I took flack for all 25 years after that, but you know, you live and you learn."
Det lyder nu meget selvbevidst af Cameron at kommentere på den her tale.
