13. Chris Colfer

"I think I just dropped my heart somewhere between Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore, so if anyone sees that, please give it back to me."

7. Meryl Streep

"I want to change my name to T-Bone. T-Bone Streep!"

Even though she'd just won for her performance in Julie & Julia, the veteran actress had the famous music producer on her mind. At this point, Meryl, you've earned the right to call yourself whatever you want.
