'The Imitation Game' screenwriter Graham Moore, who grabbed the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for the movie, won everyone's heart with his emotional speech.

The 34-year-old writer stated that when he was 16-years-old, he tried to kill himself because he felt weird and different and he felt like he did not belong.

Moore then continued that one should stay weird and they should pass the same message to the same person who comes along once they get an opportunity to hit the stage.
