Speech
Well -- thank you. Thank you. I would like to thank the members of the Academy, and I would also like to thank Steven Soderbergh, Laura Bickford, Ed Zwick, Marshall, Rick, and Eileen, everyone at USA Films, and I also like to dedicate this to two locations where we shot this film. We went from Washington, D.C. all the way to San Diego, California. I would like to dedicate this to the people of Nogales, Arizona, and Nogales, Mexico. Thank you.

Special Thanks
I'd like to thank:
My Traffic team: Alan Shaterian, Chic Daniel, John Calary, and Stephen
Bridgewater
Ilene Feldman, Rick Yorn, and Steve Warren
Juan Silva, Rick Needham, Web Johnson, Stella Adler, Arthur Mendoza, and the late Dr. Elias Cheleuite and his family.
My father for showing me the power of caring; my mother for teaching me never to give up; my brother for looking out for me and my godmother for giving me a million and one reasons to believe.
Kim Shultz and all my fans.
