Meryl Streep, Halle Berry and more Oscar-winning speeches for the ages

The 2019 Oscars will surely be one to watch with stars like Regina King, Glenn Close and Lady Gaga all up for top awards. There are definitely going to be some inspiring speeches that will come from the biggest night in Hollywood.

Over the 90 plus years during which the Oscars have been running, there have been amazing speeches from the likes of Halle Berry, Patricia Arquette, Jamie Foxx, Sally Field and many more.

Here's a look back at seven speeches that will certainly stand the test of time.

We can't have a list of best Oscars speeches and not include Meryl!

After winning for "The Iron Lady" in 2012, Streep graciously came to the stage and was her usual inspiring self. She also joked about the fact that she is nominated so often because of her dedication to her craft.

"When they called my name I had this feeling I could hear half of America going, "Oh no! Oh, c'mon why? Her? Again?" You know? But, whatever," she joked.

"First I'm going to thank Don, because when you thank your husband at the end of the speech they play him out with the music, and I want him to know that everything I value most in our lives you've given me. And now secondly, my other partner," she added. "Thirty-seven years ago, my first play in New York City, I met the great hairstylist and makeup artist Roy Helland ... His first film with me was 'Sophie's Choice,' and all the way up to tonight when he won for his beautiful work in 'The Iron Lady' thirty years later. Every single movie in between. And I just want to thank Roy, but also I want to thank -- because I really understand I'll never be up here again. I really want to thank all my colleagues, all my friends. I look out here and, you know, I see my life before my eyes: my old friends, my new friends. And really, this is such a great honor."

The 2019 Oscars take place at 8 p.m. Feb. 24 on ABC.
