Graham Moore's touching Oscar speech is for anyone who's ever felt different or alone

There were many inspiring moments at this year's Oscars. One of the most memorable happened when Graham Moore won Best Adapted Screenplay for The Imitation Game.

Moore's speech started out lighthearted and cute (he thanked Oprah for presenting the award), and he sent his love to his entire cast. But he quickly transitioned into a more serious tone, to briefly bring up his suicide attempt at 16 years old. Moore tried to take his life, he said, because he felt like he was weird. Like he didn't fit in or belong anywhere.

"And now I'm standing here," he said proudly. Here: as in, alive, on the other side of the rejection and the misunderstanding and the pain. It does truly get better, and Moore is proof of that.

From this vantage point Moore was able to offer the following advice to all of those teenagers out there who feel like they don't fit in:

"I promise you do. You do. Stay weird. Stay different. And then when it's your turn, and you are the one standing on this stage, please pass the same message to the next person who comes along."

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
