The phrase "I'd like to thank the academy" is commonly used by winners of Academy Awards (Oscars) during their acceptance speeches.  It is a traditional acknowledgment of gratitude towards the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for recognizing their work and awarding them with the prestigious honor. Critics may view it as cliché or insincere, and argue that the phrase is overused and lacks originality, leading to its perceived lack of authenticity.  Some may mock the phrase as a way to poke fun at the self-congratulatory nature of award ceremonies and the sometimes extravagant and melodramatic speeches that accompany them. Overall, the mocking of this phrase may stem from a desire to critique the perceived pretentiousness or predictability of award show culture.
