Six-Word Memoirs discussed in class, the Webby Awards limit award winners' speeches to only five worlds. While they might lack the emotion of some of the memoirs, they are faced with the same challenge of creating a brief and dynamic message. The creatively concise five-word speeches leave a strong, lasting impression...and spare the audience from a whole lot of 'thank yous'. The Webby Web site says, "the famous 'five-word speech' keeps our celebrations vibrant and exciting."
A few examples include:
NYTimes.com: "Honor. Grateful. Thank you. Corny."
Invisible Children: "Angelina Jolie can't do everything."
Will. I. Am.: "Now we know we can."
Victoria Secret Fashion Show Online Series: "Victoria Secret, sexy lingerie. Yeah."
Lisa Kudrow: "Well, thank you. Oh God."
