MIRA SORVINO:
Oh my God! Thank you very much to all the members of the Academy. Thank you very much to Woody Allen for writing this beautiful character and for seeing fit to cast me in it and doing such a beautiful film. I want to thank my agents, Michelle Stern, Frank Frattaroli, and Steve Himber at William Morris, and also a very special thanks to Larry Taube. My manager Jean Fox, who I love very dearly. All of my friends who, you know who you are, and I love you very much, and my parents and my family. And when you give me this award you honor my father Paul Sorvino, who has taught me everything I know about acting. I love you very much, Dad. I always looked at great performances and was so moved by how much other people's hearts made me feel as a child. And I wanted to be an actor who could move other people and make other people see something about the human spirit, and you've made me feel that I've made a small step towards that. So thank you very much, everybody. Thank you.
