SPEECH
Oh, thank you, thank you ever so much. I'm so happy. Thank you. I
have, I have a television, so I'm going to spend some time here to
tell you some things. And sir, you're doing a great job, but
you're so quick with that stick so why don't you sit because I may
never be here again.
I would like to start with telling you all how amazing the
experience of feeling the sisterhood of being included in a group
with Joan Allen and Juliette Binoche and Laura Linney and Ellen
Burstyn for these last weeks, has been, it's just felt like such a
triumph to me to be in that list. My name starts with
"R" so I'm always last, but I still love the list. But I
can't believe this is, this is quite pretty.
I want to acknowledge so many people that made Erin Brokovich ERIN
BROKOVICH. But let me make my dress pretty. Universal, everybody
at Universal, Kevin Mischer and Stacey Snider and Stacey Sher and
I can't believe I'm remembering everybody's name. Jersey Films,
Danny Devito, and everybody over there. Everyone I've ever met in
my life.
This movie was sinfully fun to make, and Albert Finney is my
friend, and my pleasure to act with. And Aaron Eckhart and Scotty
and Gemmenne and Brittany and Ashley, all the wonderful actors
that played my children. And Marg Helgenberger. And turn that
clock off, it's making me nervous.
Greg Jacobs, everybody on our crew that was so great. And, well,
just a few other people. And, but really, the main person, well,
Richard LaGravenese and Susannah Grant who wrote such a nice
script. Steven Soderbergh, hi, there you are. You truly just made
me want to be the best actor that I suppose I never knew I could
be, or aspire to. And I made every attempt, stickman, I see you,
so I thank you for really making me feel so, I love it up here!
Yeah, anyway, I start working for him again in two days, so I can
get to you later, but Benjamin Bratt, my sister Lisa, my
brother-in-law Tony, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, who's been my agent
since God was a boy, Jeff Berg, my mom, and just Frances and
Marcus and Mike and everybody who's watching at home, Kelly, Emma,
everybody. I love the world! I'm so happy! Thank you!
