In a 2012 Oscar acceptance speech, who said to the statuette "You’re only two years older than me darling"?

Arthur Christopher Orme Plummer CC (born December 13, 1929) is a Canadian actor. Making his film debut in 'Stage Struck' (1958), Plummer's career spans more than five decades. He is known for portraying Captain von Trapp in 'The Sound of Music' (1965).

Plummer became only the third octogenarian ever to win an Academy Award for acting receiving the best actor in a supporting role in 'Beginners'. At 82 years and 75 days, he replaced George Burns ('The Sunshine Boys', 80 years and 69 days) as the oldest male acting winner at the Oscars, and Jessica Tandy ('Driving Miss Daisy', 80 years and 292 days) as the oldest ever acting winner outright.

In his acceptance speech, Plummer joked about his age. Looking at his Oscar statuette, he said: "You’re only two years older than me darling, where have you been all of my life?” He was almost right – the first Academy Awards ceremony was held in May 1929, six months before Plummer was born.

Plummer also thanked his fellow nominees, Beginners co-stars, and his wife, who he said "deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for coming to my rescue every day of my life".
