The Oscars (I) (2023 TV Special)

Brendan Fraser: Self - Winner

Quotes 

• Self - Winner : So this is what the multiverse looks like! Oh, my goodness. I thank the Academy for this honor and for our studio, A24, for making such a bold film. And I'm grateful to Darren Aronofsky for throwing me a creative lifeline and hauling me aboard the good ship "The Whale," that was written by Samuel D. Hunter, who is our lighthouse. Gentlemen, you laid your whale-sized hearts bare so that we can see into your souls like no one else could do and it is my honor to be named alongside you in this category. I wanted to tell you that only whales can swim at the depth of the talent of Hong Chau. And I started in this business thirty years ago and things, they didn't come easily to me, but there was a facility that I didn't appreciate at the time, until it stopped. And I just want to say thank you for this acknowledgement, because it couldn't be done without my cast. It's been like I've been on a diving expedition on the bottom of the ocean, and the air on the line to the surface is on a launch being watched over by some people in my life. Like my sons Holden, and Leland, and Griffin -- I love you, Griffy. My manager JoAnne Colonna. Jennifer Plante. And my best first mate, Jeanie. Thank you again, each one and all. I'm so grateful to you. Goodnight.
