Acceptance Speech
First of all, I'd like to wish my father in North Carolina a happy 83rd birthday. Secondly, Paul Haggis, a force of nature. Thank you, Paul. I would not be here without Paul. I would not be here without Cathy Schulman, and I want to thank both of you from the bottom of my heart. Thanks to Bob Yari, Lion's Gate for seeing a powerful film. Thanks to my assistant Sean Hubbert, 9, Jesus. Thanks to... I have to name some friends of mine who have supported me over the years. Donna, Bruce, Bob, Raq, Leslie, I can't remember any of them. And my girlfriend, Looloo who has gotten me through the last three weeks, and I've been a bull, believe me. And last but not least, my editing partner. Don't start the music, I can see you. My editing partner, my film partner, my movie buddy, my son who makes my life wonderful every day, Wyatt. And I'd like to dedicate my award to a friend, the memory of a friend, Dan Petrie Sr. who passed away last year. Thank you very much. Thank you.
