Julia Louis-Dreyfus Acceptance Speech | 2018 Mark Twain Prize
Ойын-сауық
An outstanding lineup of entertainers gathered in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall to salute Julia Louis-Dreyfus, recipient of the 21st annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on October 21, 2018. The Prize, which is named to honor one of the world's greatest humorists, was presented at a gala performance featuring some of the biggest names in comedy. The event was taped by WETA Washington, D.C. and aired nationally on PBS on November 19, 2018 at 9:00 p.m. ET. Capital One is the Presenting Sponsor of Comedy at the Kennedy Center.
Under the direction of the creative team from Done + Dusted, the Kennedy Center’s new producing partner for the Twain Prize, the cast features many of Louis-Dreyfus’s admirers, friends, and collaborators, including Stephen Colbert, Bryan Cranston, Tina Fey, Ilana Glazer, Tony Hale, Abbi Jacobson, Jack Johnson, Keegan-Michael Key, Lisa Kudrow, Kumail Nanjiani, and Jerry Seinfeld.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus earned worldwide acclaim for her portrayal of Elaine Benes in the hit NBC series "Seinfeld," and as Christine Campbell in the CBS hit comedy "The New Adventures of Old Christine." She currently stars in, and executive produces, the HBO series "Veep," which will soon begin its seventh season.
Between all shows combined, she has received eleven Emmy awards (six consecutively for "Veep") with twenty-four nominations, a Golden Globe award, nine Screen Actors Guild awards which makes her the most decorated actor in the history of the SAG awards, three Television Critics Association awards, five American Comedy Awards, a Peabody Award, and the Charlie Chaplin Britannia Award for Excellence in Comedy. She has broken the record for the most Emmy's won by a single performer, as well as the most consecutive wins for a single role ("Veep").

Her speech was hilarious and heartwarming but more notable is her exquisite timing. Sheer genius. A good heart and a very very funny woman.
She is an unbelievable talent. This was like a fully fleshed-out scene from TV. It was risky to make the Shakespeare audition a recurring gag throughout, in the middle of thank yous, etc. She is a genius.

4:02 "I love comedy and I love my career" Honestly that delivery cracks me up. It reminds me of your aunt or someone at a family dinner, who is frustrated at the way their life has turned out, but putting on a good show, but cracks at the end. It's so well done

What a legendary acceptance speech !
I have to geek out here--i just met her this evening, along with her husband, Brad, at a screening of a documentary film they made together. I'm such a huge fan of hers since Seinfeld, and for the last 12 yrs i've been working for an organization she is connected with and hoping i'd have a chance to meet her... so happy i was able to!
The way she organized her speech is beautiful. I mean.. this is one of the best acceptance speeches I have heard. So creative.
Julia is a national treasure. No other way to describe her.
30 years later and I still have the biggest crush on Julia.
Been in love with her personality since 1993. I was 13, she was just amazing. Beautiful, funny, talented... She is still the same yet better. Veep is amazing. As a 38 year old man, married with a daughter, my standard of the perfect woman has not only been Ms Benes, but Ms Louis Dreyfus. Gets better with age. Beautiful, funny, incredibly talented. Absolutely flawless.
She doesn’t age. beautiful, funny, and seemingly right down to earth.
