ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
This unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. Before I forget, I must thank Rachel Portman for that music in The Duchess that wasn’t the music, but music is fantastic in the film. I want to thank Paramount Vantage & Pathé for promoting the work in this film. I think they did a great job showcasing that film. My crew. I’d like to thank some individuals, please. Gordon Harmer, Anna Kot, Luan Placks, Ann Maskrey, Anthony Brookman, Sarah Touaibi. I’d also like to thank my agent Michelle Arnold, who is a lovely lady, she got me an interview with these people. And Gaby Tana, Saul Dibb &
Michael Kuhn, stuck their neck out to get me this job. I apparently was the risk. And I think it’s paid off now, so I’m glad about that. And most importantly I’d like to thank the cast because, you know, working with such a great cast, everyone was with me. Um, so quickly, Dominic Cooper, Hayley Atwell, Charlotte Rampling, Ralph Fiennes & Keira Knightley, you are one classy lady. Thank you so much. (http://oscar.com/oscarnight/winners)
