Speech
Oh, thank you, thank you ever so much. I'm so happy. Thank you.
I have, I have a television, so I'm going to spend some time here
to tell you some things. And sir, you're doing a great job, but
you're so quick with that stick so why don't you sit because I may
never be here again.
I would like to start with telling you all how amazing the experience
of feeling the sisterhood of being included in a group with Joan
Allen and Juliette Binoche and Laura Linney and Ellen Burstyn for
these last weeks, has been, it's just felt like such a triumph to
me to be in that list. My name starts with "R" so I'm
always last, but I still love the list. But I can't believe this
is, this is quite pretty.
I want to acknowledge so many people that made Erin Brokovich ERIN
BROKOVICH. But let me make my dress pretty. Universal, everybody
at Universal, Kevin Mischer and Stacey Snider and Stacey Sher and
I can't believe I'm remembering everybody's name. Jersey Films,
Danny Devito, and everybody over there. Everyone I've ever met in
my life.
This movie was sinfully fun to make, and Albert Finney is my friend,
and my pleasure to act with. And Aaron Eckhart and Scotty and Gemmenne
and Brittany and Ashley, all the wonderful actors that played my
children. And Marg Helgenberger. And turn that clock off, it's making
me nervous.
Greg Jacobs, everybody on our crew that was so great. And, well,
just a few other people. And, but really, the main person, well,
Richard LaGravenese and Susannah Grant who wrote such a nice script.
Steven Soderbergh, hi, there you are. You truly just made me want
to be the best actor that I suppose I never knew I could be, or
aspire to. And I made every attempt, stickman, I see you, so I thank
you for really making me feel so, I love it up here! Yeah, anyway,
I start working for him again in two days, so I can get to you later,
but Benjamin Bratt, my sister Lisa, my brother-in-law Tony, Elaine
Goldsmith-Thomas, who's been my agent since God was a boy, Jeff
Berg, my mom, and just Frances and Marcus and Mike and everybody
who's watching at home, Kelly, Emma, everybody. I love the world!
I'm so happy! Thank you!
