JIM BROADBENT:
Stone the crows. I'd like to thank the Academy for this wonderful honor. Making "Iris" was the most joyful, wonderful experience and for that, much thanks to Intermedia, to BBC Films and to Miramax for getting behind it and putting it out. And above all to Richard Eyre, for writing a wonderful script with Charles Wood, for directing with skill, intelligence, humor and great talent, and for putting together a wonderful cast for us to work with, with Hugh Bonneville as the younger me and Kate Winslet and the special Judi Dench who I had a lot to do with. I'd like to thank John Bayley who allowed us to plunder and I'm sure misrepresent his life with Iris. And above all, I'd like to thank my wife Anastasia for coming with me on this long and rather unpredictable journey. And good luck "Moulin Rouge."
