Now we know her as Abuelita on the Netflix remake of “One Day At a Time,” but Rita Moreno has been in the entertainment industry for over 54 years. She’s one of the 21 people to have ever been awarded an EGOT (Emmy, Golden Globe, Oscar, and Tony). Yup, she’s a big deal in the entertainment industry.

Amazing! Seeing Rita’s dress made me curious about her win, so I did some searching and found Rita’s acceptance speech. Rita is a powerhouse, so needless to say; her speech is short but amazing. Check it out below!
Just 15 seconds! Her honest reaction makes this one of the best Oscar speeches of all time.
