DIABLO CODY:

What is happening?  This is for the writers, and I want to thank all the writers.  I especially want to thank my fellow nominees, because I worship you guys and I'm learning from you every day, so thank you very much.  I want to thank the Academy.  I want to thank Fox Searchlight, Mr. Mudd, Mandate, Dan Dubiecki.  I want to thank our incredible cast including the superhuman Ellen Page.  I want to thank Jason Reitman, who I consider a member of my family and I'm in awe of his talent as a filmmaker.  I want to thank Sarah Self.  I want to thank Mason Novick who knew I could do this before I did.  And most of all, I want to thank my family for loving me exactly the way I am.
