The Oscar Awards are one of the most watched television event across the world. The Academy celebrates some of the best talent and awards their hard work with the beautiful trophy and global recognition.
What is common among these actors and professionals and the entrepreneurs is the hard work and dedication they put into what they do. A bit of trivia: in this year’s Oscar (2013), Inocente became the 1st Oscar winner ever to be funded on the crowd-funding platform Kickstarter.
Here are some of the most inspiring quotes for entrepreneurs from the Oscars over the years.
