In his acceptance speech, McConaughey had very moving words - in fact, his speech appeared almost too rehearshed as if he expected to win. Nevertheless, his speech was touching, especially when he choked up talking about his wife. He had a very long speech, and it was surprising that he wasn't cut off by the music. He finished off by saying "alright, alright, alright."

Other nominees in the category included Christian Bale in "American Hustle," Chiwetel Ejiofor in "12 Years a Slave," Bruce Dern in "Nebraska," Matthew McConaughay in "Dallas Buyers Club" and Leonardo DiCaprio in "The Wolf of Wall Street."
