Kathy Bates Held Onto The Guilt Of Not Thanking Her Mom In Her Oscar Acceptance Speech For More Than 30 Years, And Her Reaction To Realizing That She Actually Did Has Left People Emotional


Journalist Ben matter-of-factly replied: “You know, you did thank her. At the end of your speech, you thanked her.”

“No, I did not,” Kathy insisted. “You go back and look at it, I didn’t.”

Ben then pulled up a video of Kathy’s acceptance speech on his phone, and sure enough, he was right. 

Holding onto her Oscar, then-42-year-old Kathy says in the clip: “I’d like to thank my family, my friends, my mom at home, my dad — who I hope is watching somewhere.”
