The Fighter’s Melissa Leo should have gotten a bar of soap to accompany her Oscar statuette at Sunday’s Academy Awards, as actress cursed during her acceptance speech after winning the honors for best supporting actress.

"I'm just shaking in my boots here," she said, before thanking her co-stars Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale.

"When I watched Cate two years ago, it looked so f **king easy," Leo said in reference to actress Cate Blanchett. (Note: the ceremony was presented on tape delay, and ABC was able to bleep out the offensive phrases.)
