Colleen Atwood
"Memoirs of a Geisha "

Acceptance Speech
Thank you all very much. Oh, so many people to thank for making this film. It was an effort that circled the globe, and came together here in Los Angeles. Thanks to Sony Pictures who were brave enough to make a movie about a woman. Fantastic. Thank you very much to Rob Marshall, my fantastic director, whose vision I only share. To my amazing daughters who are with me here tonight. To my team of people who really kept it together for me, Cheryl, Christine, and Colleen. And to the most beautiful cast anybody could ever dream of dressing. And most of all, to the people of Japan, who gave me so much knowledge and grace. Thank you.

Special Online Thanks
