DIABLO CODY:
What is happening? This is for the writers, and I want to thank all the writers. I especially want to thank my fellow nominees, because I worship you guys and I'm learning from you every day, so thank you very much. I want to thank the Academy. I want to thank Fox Searchlight, Mr. Mudd, Mandate, Dan Dubiecki. I want to thank our incredible cast including the superhuman Ellen Page. I want to thank Jason Reitman, who I consider a member of my family and I'm in awe of his talent as a filmmaker. I want to thank Sarah Self. I want to thank Mason Novick who knew I could do this before I did. And most of all, I want to thank my family for loving me exactly the way I am.
