Oscar for Gwyneth Paltrow!!!
Acceptance speech of Gwyneth Paltrow:
Oh, I would like to thank the Academy
from the bottom of my heart. I would like to thank Emily
Watson and Fernanda Montenegro and my friend Cate
Blanchett and the greatest one who ever was, Meryl Streep. I
don't feel very deserving of this in your presense, but, I would
like to thank Harvey Weinstein and everybody at Miramax
Films for their undying support of me. I would like to, I wouldn't
be in this auditorium, let alone up here if it wasn't for two
incredibly talented men, our director, John Madden, thank you
so much for all that you gave me, you are so inspiring, and to
my soulful partner,Joseph Fiennes who I share this with. I
wouldn't be here without him. I would like to thank the rest of
our miraculous cast and crew. Our producers Donna Gigliotti
and David Parfitt. I didn't forget you this time! Especially, Jim
McGill and Sophie Shant and my friend Ben Affleck. I would
like to thank my wonderful agent Rick Kurtzman who is a
beautiful man and a wonderful agent and in his case that is not
an oxymoron. I would like to thank Harold Brown, Stuart
Gelwarg and Steven Huvane. I would not have been able to play
this role had I not understood love with a tremendous
magnitude and for that I thank my family, my mother Blythe
Danner who I love more than anything, and my brother Jake
Paltrow who is just the dearest person in the whole world, my
earthly guardian angel Mary Wigmore, and especially to my
father, Bruce Paltrow, who has surmounted any surmountable
obstacles this year. I love you more than anything in the world
- and to my grandpa, Buster. Who almost made it here tonight,
but couldn't quite get here. Grandpa, I want you to know that
you have created a beautiful family who loves you and loves
each other more than anything, and we thank you for that. I
would like to dedicate this to two young men who lost their
lives very early. Harrison Kravis and my cousin Keith Paltrow.
We miss you very much and I thank you. Thank you so much
everybody!
