I used to playact Award Show acceptance speeches as a kid.  Usually, I was winning a Grammy, but sometimes it was a Daytime Emmy - for all of the talk shows I would also be playacting (GI Joe and Ninja Turtle action figures make EXCELLENT audience members.) Usually, a Grammy though. 

I’ve decided that it’s on my bucket list to re-enact this entire acceptance speech in full drag.  I remember watching it as a kid (yes, I tuned in due to the buzz that she might actually win that year) and tearing up, and I have to admit, I still do.  It’s the actual enthusiasm of the audience (everyone’s so damn happy for her), coupled with her faux modesty.  It’s how Susan is clutching the shit out of that Emmy, and how you get the feeling she didn’t let it out of her grip for like, months after.  Camp value + actual joy + Oprah cameo = this moment, I think.
