Speech
If I made up a story where someone like me would find himself somewhere like this, nobody would believe it. Nobody here. I have to thank my girlfriend Michael, our son Gardner. I'd like to thank the Academy, my parents, Tom and Betty Hague of Louisville, Kentucky, who are somewhere up there in the balcony, I hope. I have to thank all the filmmakers. Steven Soderbergh, the director, who took every single thing I could give him and asked for more and inspired me. Producers Ed Zwick, Laura Bickford, Marshall Herskovitz.
I have something here that I have to make sure that I -- USA Pictures, Scott Greenstein, Russell Schwartz, and everybody in the cast and crew, and, most importantly, four years ago, a lot of people that reached out their hands to me and helped me out, and this is for you guys. Thanks.
