SETH WINSTON:
Well, thank you very much. I'd like to thank the members of the Academy. My mom and dad and all my friends, for their support over the past few years. I'd like to thank Jana Memel, Jonathan Sanger, Steve Hewitt, and Jim Miller at Showtime, for giving me the opportunity to make this film. I'd like to thank June Guterman, Rob Fried, my agent Victoria Wisdom, and everyone in the cast and crew. What we achieved together tonight is really something special. I'd just like to say hi to my two children, Alexandra and Dashiell, who are watching in England live on the satellite where it's after five o'clock in the morning. So, Alex, you might as well stay up all night. Thanks a lot.

ROB FRIED:
I hope everybody gets a chance to see this movie when it plays next week on Showtime. I'd like to thank Jon Dolgen, Cary Woods, Sharisse Burche, Rich Zinman, Nancy Travis, Seth Winston. And Mom, I don't have time to read the speech. Sorry. Thank you.
