The Oscars (I) (2023 TV Special)

Charlie Mackesy: Self - Winner

Quotes 

• Self - Co-Winner: Best Animated Short Film : We've never made a film before so this is bewildering, beyond. And I know the protocol is to say thank you a lot, but I'm British, so I'm more comfortable saying sorry. So I'm really sorry to all the people who should be on this stage with us, in the extraordinary team with Cara Speller and Peter Baynton and J.J. and Hannah and Izzo and Jon, and our amazing cast and over a hundred animators. I'm also really sorry to my children and my girlfriend and my colleagues at Freud's for, basically, being absent for the last two years as this film took flight. But this statue is for the dog, Vincent, and the boy, Charlie.

  Self - Winner: Best Animated Short Film : Hello. I'm sorry, I'll be brief. It's a recurring theme, the apology. I was in my village very recently, and a lady came up to me and said, I hear you're going to that Oscar thing. And I said, Yeah. And I said, I think I'll need help with my clothes. And she said, You will. And it's a recurring theme with clothing and myself. And she then said, there's a long pause and she said, You know, Charlie, I think it takes a lot of courage to make a film, and I think when you go there there'll be a lot of very, very brave people in the same room. And I looked at her and said, Yeah, I think you're right. And it's really true. And the people that I've worked with, they've tolerated me for two years, and they're brave and kind, and thank you so much. And thank you to my mum and my family, and my dog who I've left behind who's actually in the hotel. I hate to say that. God, I'm so ashamed. Oh no, I wasn't really meant to say that, I'm sorry. Anyway, thank you so, so much for this. Thank you.
