"Mystic River" |
Speech
Oh boy. Wow. Thank you so much. Members of the Academy, this is
really a lovely, lovely honor. I'd like to thank my fellow nominees
who are all spectacular and I want to work with all of you in a
movie at some point. Dennis Lehane, Brian Helgeland for the writing
of this amazing script. Clint Eastwood, you're so great. You're
such an amazing director. And you're making my mantle very crowded.
Thank you. It's due to you, sir. My fellow cast members, Sean Penn,
Kevin Bacon, Marcia Gay Harden, Laura Linney, Laurence Fishburne.
The crew was fantastic, Toni Howard, Lisa Kasteler, Alan Horn, Bruce
Berman, Jeff Robinov, and from Warner Bros. Joe Hyams, Judie Hoyt,
Rob Lorenz, my mom and dad, Dave Delgabi, Terry, hang in there.
You can kick it. Guy's family. Your dad's smiling down on you. Susan,
I love you so much. Eva, Jack, Miles. Thanks for being there for
me. Susan, thanks for being the best friend one could have. The
Actor's Gang in "Embedded" in New York, thank you so much
for putting up with me being here and I would like to say one more
thing. In this movie, I play a victim of abuse and violence and
if you are out there and are a person that has -- had that tragedy
befall you, there is no shame and no weakness in seeking help and
counseling it is sometimes the strongest thing that you can do
to stop the cycle of violence. Thank you.
