Acceptance Speech
Well, I'm very happy to be here but it's also very frightening to be here, so in one way I wanted to get this doll (pats the Oscar) and another I was frightened. But thank you so, thank you very, very much. I want to thank Frances, first of all, for introducing me to Sofia when we were doing Cotton Club. And she was this (motions to her height as a girl), and now she's my director. I think she did a wonderful movie. The movie is like a poem and she inspired me. I haven't prepared this speech so I have to hurry up because Marshall my husband said I have to get out of here quickly. So I want to thank everybody who had anything to do with this movie. Without them I wouldn't be here. It's a communal effort, therefore I thank everybody very, very much. I want to dedicate this award first of all to momma, then Hugh Hudson and Stanley Kubrick, my great master. Without them, I wouldn't be here.
