Re: njc MY BOY WON!

[vince]

Thanks Debra for understanding my joy for Eminem - just so stunned still 
and Streisand announced it (what bliss) and I loved the way she gasped 
when she opened the envelope - did she say "oh my" or "oh my God" or 
what, do you remember?  Especially after they wouldn't let him perform-

And Adrian Brody winning... that's great! 

 

The text of Adrian Brody's acceptance speech after he shushed the 
orchestra for trying to tell him his time was up - Brody quieted them 
when his usual thanks were done and then he said (which is minus his 
last words salute to his friend in the service in kuwait):

"There comes a time in life when everything seems to make sense. This is 
not one of those times, What I do know is that I've never felt this much 
love an encouragement from my peers and the people I admire. It fills me 
with great joy, but I'm also filled with a lot of sadness tonight 
because I'm accepting an award at such a strange time.

You know my experiences in making this film made me very aware of the 
sadness and the dehumanization of people at times of war and the 
repercussions of war. Whether you believe in God or Allah, may he watch 
over you and let's pray for a peaceful and swift resolution"
