Gooding Jr. basically reprised his voluble character from the film, screaming "I love you all!" over and over again until the audience gave him a standing ovation.

Last week, a YouTube user uploaded a new cut from a documentary clip (itself worth watching) released a couple years after the original broadcast showing how the director of the Academy Awards coordinated the speech from the TV truck.

It's pretty great (first spotted by CNBC's Carl Quintanilla).
