Golden Globes (2006)

Speech: [laughs] Okay, my husband just hit me so hard that I almost fell over. Like a linebacker. And I'm clearly not a linebacker. Um, I just wanna say thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, you've been so incredibly kind and generous to me over the years and this is just fantastic! [laughs] Cause I was having a lot of fun, but I'm having even more fun now. Erm, I, just wanna also say that this film is really important to me, um, it's about where I grew up, it's about the music I grew up listening to. So it's very meaningful and, um, I just wanna thank the people who created this opportunity for me, um, Jim Mangold, for writing the script and directing this wonderful, beautiful film. Um, Cathy Konrad, James Keachfor producing it, T-Bone Burnett for making this wonderful music and working so hard with all these musicians. Um, and of course Joaquin Phoenix, who put his heart and soul into this performance, and, had inexhaustible passion, um, which was incredibly inspiring, so thank you. And, um, I just wanna say thank you to my family, who basically, my husband busted his butt to get here today. He's working on a new movie in Toronto, so he came here just for me and I really appreciate it. And, um, to my two lovely children and my husband; you are my everything and nothing in life is worth having if I can't have you to share it with, so, thank you.
