Academy Awards Acceptance Speech Database

BRENDA FRICKER:
I don't believe this. I'd like to make a private thank you to Bina and Des and Eamon Burke*. And I'd like to thank every single member of the crew who worked on "My Left Foot" who created an atmosphere of fun and love and hard work. I'd like to thank Christy Brown, just for being alive. I'd like to thank Mrs. Brown, his mother. Anybody who gives birth twenty-two times deserves one of these, I think. I'd like to thank Jim Sheridan and Shane Connaughton for the best script I've ever been involved in. I'd like to thank Noel Pearson for producing the film. And Jim Sheridan, for just being the most incredible director. And the members of the Academy, for giving me this which I will take very proudly with me back to Ireland. Thank you.
