Can we talk about Patricia Arquette for a minute??? And how she is UNBELIEVABLE? And how her 2015 Oscars speech just about blew everyone away, and for excellent reason?
“To every woman who gave birth, to every taxpayer and citizen of this nation, we have fought for everybody else’s equal rights, it’s our time to have wage equality once and for all and equal rights for women in the United States of America!”
To think that equal pay is still a relevant and urgent topic is an absolutely insane thing, but with the help of people like Ms. Arquette, we are close to eradicating that terrible thing called the wage gap and also the stigma of even talking about it.
When watching the Oscars that fine Sunday night, I was expecting just another exasperated sigh of gratitude and remarks on how damn heavy that little golden statue is. But when, the best supporting actress winner, stood there and gave one of the best Oscar winners speech of all time…I literally stood up and cheered (so did Meryl Streep).
Here are ten thoughts we all had in regards to Patricia Arquette’s distinct superbness:
“Oh my gosh, she won. She won!”
“She looks SO on point tonight. YASSSSS!”
“Wait…she’s gonna drop something big….This is going to be huge!”
“OH MY GOSH!!!! YESSSSSSS!”
“THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS!”
“This is so long overdue!!!!”
“i am just eating this UP.”
“Keep going!! Keep going!!!”
“I am just basking in this moment. Let me be.”
“YES PATRICIA! YES! YOU ARE INCREDIBLE”
