We're the acceptance speeches that quadruple-threat, Bradley Cooper, wrote and memorized twelve nominations ago. One is for acting, another is for directing, another is for producing, and yet another is for screenwriting. If his losing streak doesn't end soon, he'll be adding songwriting, art direction, and costume design.
