NEIL JORDAN:
Thank you. Thank you. Sorry, I didn't know these nominations were coming up. I was in the bathroom when I heard it... But thank you very much. It was a difficult script to write. People said to me it was about characters that were unappealing and would be unappealing to audiences at large. But I think the way audiences have responded to this film has told me anyway that audiences have it in their hearts to embrace any range of characters and any range of points of view. Can I thank Stephen Woolley, my producer, over there. The cast and crew of the movie, including Miranda Richardson, Stephen Rea. And Brenda Rawn, my partner and my assistant. And my mother and sister sitting over there. Thank you very much.
