SERIOUSLY. HE LOOKS HIS AGE. I SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING.

I AM EXCITED TO BE HERE. WELCOME TO THE 97th ACADEMY

AWARDS. IT'S HOLLYWOOD'S BIGGEST NIGHT

THAT STARTS AT 4:00 IN THE AFTERNOON.

[ LAUGHTER ]

EVERYONE HERE JUST HAD BRUNCH. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.

BUT IT'S THE OSCARS, AND I SAY LET'S DO THIS THING.

ARE YOU READY TO GO? I AM.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

I'M WALKING TO SHOW I HAVE CONTROL OF THE STAGE.

A COMPLETE UNKNOWN. A REAL --

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

A REAL PAIN. NOSFERATU.

[ APPLAUSE ]

THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE NAMES I WAS CALLED ON THE RED CARPET.

[ LAUGHTER ]

I THINK TWO ARE FAIR. WE'RE HERE TO CELEBRATE THE

MOVIE INDUSTRY. WHAT A YEAR FOR THE MOVIE

INDUSTRY. NETFLIX LEADS ALL STUDIOS WITH

AN IMPRESSIVE 18, COUNT THEM, 18 PRICE INCREASES.

[ LAUGHTER ]

YES. AND I THINK THEY CAN BEAT THAT

NEXT YEAR. AND HOW ABOUT THOSE LADIES,

ARIANA AND CYNTHIA? WEREN'T THEY AMAZING?

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

THEY WERE INCREDIBLE. "WICKED" IS NOMINATED TONIGHT IN

TEN CATEGORIES. YEAH. YEAH!

[ APPLAUSE ]

YEAH! IT'S THE PERFECT MOVIE FOR ANYONE WHO'S EVER FINISHED

WATCHING "THE WIZARD OF OZ" AND THOUGHT, SURE, BUT WHERE DID ALL

THE MINOR CHARACTERS GO TO COLLEGE?

[ LAUGHTER ]

THAT'S THE STORY. I LOVE "THE BRUTALIST."

I REALLY DID. I LOVED "THE BRUTALIST."

[ APPLAUSE ]

"THE BRUTALIST" ALSO RECEIVED TEN NOMINATIONS. YEAH.

NO, I LOVED "THE BRUTALIST." I REALLY DID.

I DIDN'T WANT IT TO END. AND LUCKILY IT DIDN'T.

[ LAUGHTER ]

"CONCLAVE." I'M A CATHOLIC BOY. I LOVED "CONCLAVE." YEAH.

[ APPLAUSE ]

THE MOVIE "CONCLAVE" IS NOMINATED FOR BEST PICTURE

TONIGHT. IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN "CONCLAVE,"

ITS LOG LINE IS "A MOVIE ABOUT

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, BUT DON'T WORRY."

[ LAUGHTER ]

YOU'VE GOT TO HOLD ON THAT ONE AND JUST WAIT. YEAH.

AND THEN IT COMES ROLLING BACK AT YOU.

RALPH FIENNES IS EXCELLENT IN "CONCLAVE." YEAH.

[ APPLAUSE ]

YOU ARE. EXCELLENT. TRUE FACT. THIS IS ACTUALLY RALPH FIENNES'

THIRD TIME BEING NOMINATED. YEAH. IF HE DOESN'T -- IF HE DOESN'T

WIN TONIGHT, WE ALL GET TO CALL HIM "RALPH."

"HEY, RALPH, GET ME A TOWEL."

[ LAUGHTER ]

CAN'T TELL IF HE'S LAUGHING OR NOT. IT DOESN'T MATTER.

[ LAUGHTER ]

NOT GETTING PAID A LOT. HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I LOVED "ANORA." I REALLY DID. YEAH.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

YEAH. TRUE STORY. LITTLE FACT FOR YOU.

"ANORA" USES THE F WORD 479 TIMES. THAT'S THREE MORE THAN THE

RECORD SET BY KARLA SOFIA GASCON'S PUBLICIST.

[ LAUGHTER ]

YOU TWEETED WHAT?

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

[ LAUGHTER ]

I'M HAVING FUN. KARLA SOFIA GASCON IS HERE

TONIGHT. AND --

[ APPLAUSE ]

YEAH. YEAH. AND KARLA, IF YOU ARE GOING TO

TWEET ABOUT THE OSCARS, REMEMBER, MY NAME IS JIMMY

KIMMEL.

[ LAUGHTER ]

BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER I WANT YOU TO KNOW, WE DID NOT USE A.I.

TO MAKE THIS SHOW. NO A.I.

[ APPLAUSE ]

YEAH. NO A.I.! YEAH. WE WOULD NEVER DO THAT.

WE USED CHILD LABOR.

[ LAUGHTER ]

HEY, THEY'RE STILL PEOPLE.

OF COURSE WE LOST LITTLE BILLY, BUT THAT'S SAD. ANYWAY.

ANOTHER MOVIE NOMINATED FOR BEST PICTURE IS "I'M STILL HERE."

INCREDIBLE FILM.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

YEAH. YEAH, "I'M STILL HERE" IS ABOUT

A WOMAN WHO FORGES AHEAD ALONE AFTER HER HUSBAND GOES MISSING.

YEAH. WHEN MY WIFE SAW IT SHE CALLED

IT THE FEEL-GOOD MOVIE OF THE YEAR.

[ LAUGHTER ]

THANKS, ONE GUY. HEY.

[ LAUGHTER ]

TIMMY CHALAMET IS UP FOR BEST ACTOR TONIGHT. YOU'RE AMAZING.

[ APPLAUSE ]

AND YOU LOOK AMAZING. I BOW TO YOU. I LOVE THAT SUIT.

YOU WILL NOT GET HIT ON YOUR BIKE TONIGHT.

[ LAUGHTER ]

FAITH. AMAZING ACTOR. TIMOTHEE IS NOMINATED FOR HIS

PORTRAYAL OF BOB DYLAN. YEAH.

[ APPLAUSE ]

BOB DYLAN WANTED TO BE HERE TONIGHT, BUT NOT THAT BADLY.

[ LAUGHTER ]

TIMOTHEE CHALAMET IS ALSO IN "DUNE TWO." YEAH.

[ APPLAUSE ]

"DUNE TWO" IS NOMINATED FOR BEST PICTURE, DIRECTOR DENIS

VILLENEUVE. AND GUESS WHAT? I'M TOLD HE BANNED SMARTPHONES

ON THE SET OF "DUNE TWO." DID YOU KNOW THAT? YEAH.

APPARENTLY, HIS ACTORS KEPT GOOGLING "WHAT IS THIS MOVIE

ABOUT?"

[ LAUGHTER ]

WE'LL HANG AFTERWARDS, TIMMY. IT'S GOING TO BE FUN.

THAT WAS A NO.

[ LAUGHTER ]

YOU KNOW, ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES DIDN'T GET NOMINATED THIS

YEAR, "BABYGIRL." YEAH. I LOVE THAT FILM.

[ APPLAUSE ]

YEAH. IN THE FILM "BABYGIRL" ANTONIO

BANDERAS PLAYS A MAN WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO GIVE HIS WIFE AN

ORGASM. BANDERAS DESCRIBED IT AS THE

MOST CHALLENGING ROLE OF HIS CAREER.

[ LAUGHTER ]

YEAH. SHOULD HAVE COME TO ME, MAN.

SHOULD HAVE COME TO ME.

[ LAUGHTER ]

HEY, BIG NEWS RECENTLY. AMAZON HAS TAKEN OVER THE 007

FRANCHISE. AND THEY JUST ANNOUNCED THE NEXT

JAMES BOND. DID YOU KNOW THAT? YEAH. IT'S AMAZON SENIOR VICE

PRESIDENT OF GLOBAL AFFAIRS,

STEVE BEFZKY.

[ LAUGHTER ]

LADIES LOVE HIM. SPEAKING OF AMAZON, WE HAVE SOME

FOOTAGE OF AMAZON CHIEF JEFF BEZOS ARRIVING TONIGHT ON THE

RED CARPET. THIS IS GREAT. LET'S SEE IF WE CAN GET OUT

THERE. AND HERE HE COMES.

[ LAUGHTER ]

YEAH. THERE HE IS. HE SEEMS UNDAMAGED. HEY.

AT LEAST HE MADE IT. WAIT, WHERE'S JEFF?

WHAT HAPPENED TO MR. BEZOS?

OH, FOR GOD'S SAKE. WHY? WHY!

LOOK FOR HIM ON EBAY NEXT WEEK. LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT WE'RE DOING

TONIGHT. WE HAVE A GREAT SHOW, BUT BEFORE

WE CONTINUE THERE ARE A FEW HOUSEKEEPING RULES I'M

IMPLEMENTING TO KEEP THE OSCARS RUNNING SMOOTHLY. OSCAR?

FIRST, IF YOUR ACCEPTANCE SPEECH GOES TOO LONG, INSTEAD OF

PLAYING YOU OFF WITH MUSIC WE HAVE SOMETHING MUCH MORE

POWERFUL. WE'LL CUT TO JOHN LITHGOW IN THE

AUDIENCE LOOKING NOT ANGRY BUT SLIGHTLY DISAPPOINTED.

[ LAUGHTER ]

[ APPLAUSE ]

THAT JUST FREEZES YOU IN YOUR TRACKS.

I COULD NOT KEEP SPEAKING IF I SAW THAT. I COULDN'T.

THAT'S AMAZING. THANK YOU, SIR. AND IF YOU STILL WON'T GET OFF

THE STAGE, I'M GOING TO PLAY HARDBALL.

I'M GOING TO SHOW ONE OF YOUR OLD HEADSHOTS. OKAY?

THIS MEANS YOU, GUY PEARCE. THERE YOU ARE.

[ LAUGHTER ]

I LOVED YOU WITH GUNS N' ROSES. YOU WERE AMAZING.

IT MEANS -- IT MEANS YOU, ZOE SALDANA.

THAT'S A NICE HEADSHOT.

[ APPLAUSE ]

AND IT MEANS YOU, TIMOTHEE CHALAMET.

[ LAUGHTER ]

[ APPLAUSE ]

YOU KNOW, I DID THAT TO THEM, AND SO IT'S ONLY FAIR TO DO IT

TO ME. LET'S SHOW IT. COME ON. THERE YOU GO.

[ LAUGHTER ]

YEAH. THAT WAS TAKEN WHEN I WAS 38

YEARS OLD.

[ LAUGHTER ]

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THAT BIT, MR. LITHGOW?

[ LAUGHTER ]

HE'S STILL COMMITTING. I LOVE IT. THAT'S ACTING. THAT'S ACTING!

AND FINALLY, FOR SUCH A PRESTIGIOUS NIGHT IT'S IMPORTANT

THAT EVERYONE IS PROPERLY DRESSED. OKAY?

YOU'RE DRESSED WELL. ADAM.

>> CONAN. WHAT'S UP, MY BROTHER?

[ LAUGHTER ]

WHAT'S GOING ON, MAN?

>> ADAM, WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?

>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW?

>> I'M ASKING YOU WHAT YOU'RE WEARING.

>> NOBODY EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT I WAS WEARING TILL YOU

BROUGHT IT UP!

[ LAUGHTER ]

>> YOU'RE DRESSED LIKE A GUY PLAYING VIDEO POKER AT 2:00

A.M., ADAM.

>> YOU KNOW WHAT, CONAN? I LIKE THE WAY I LOOK.

BECAUSE I'M A GOOD PERSON. I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT I WEAR

OR WHAT I DON'T WEAR. IF MY SNAZZY GYM SHORTS AND

FLUFFY SWEATSHIRT OFFEND YOU SO MUCH THAT YOU HAD TO MOCK ME IN

FRONT OF MY PEERS!

>> ADAM, I APOLOGIZE.

>> I'M GOING. OFF I GO. YEAH, I'M LEAVING. I HAVE TO.

IT'S NOT YOU. NO, IT'S NOT YOU. IT'S HIM!

HE'S THE ONE -- YOU CAUSED THIS.

>> I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY.

>> YOU ARE ALL WELCOME TO JOIN ME FOR A GAME OF FIVE-ON-FIVE

BASKETBALL AT VETERAN PARK TONIGHT MIDNIGHT TIPOFF.

THE GUY FROM "NOSFERATU," WHERE IS HE? HE'S ON MY TEAM.

ONE MORE THING. CHALAMET!

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> THERE HE GOES!

>> YEAH!

[ APPLAUSE ]

>> OH, MY GOD. THANK YOU, ADAM.

IF I COULD CHANGE THE TONE FOR JUST ONE SECOND, I'M GOING TO DO

THIS RIGHT NOW. THE PEOPLE OF LOS ANGELES HAVE

CLEARLY BEEN THROUGH A DEVASTATING ORDEAL, AND THIS

NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

IN MOMENTS SUCH AS THIS ANY AWARDS SHOW CAN SEEM

SELF-INDULGENT AND SUPERFLUOUS. BUT WHAT I WANT TO DO IS HAVE US

ALL REMEMBER WHY WE GATHER HERE TONIGHT. OKAY?

YES, WE WILL HONOR MANY BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED A-LIST

STARS. BUT THE OSCARS ALSO SHINES A

LIGHT ON AN INCREDIBLE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE YOU WILL NEVER SEE.

CRAFTSPEOPLE, ARTISANS, TECHNICIANS, COSTUMERS.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

THAT'S RIGHT. I CAN'T NAME THEM ALL.

THERE ARE TOO MANY. HARD-WORKING MEN AND WOMEN

BEHIND THE CAMERA WHO HAVE DEVOTED THEIR LIVES TO MAKING

FILM. NOW, YES, MANY PEOPLE WE CELEBRATE TONIGHT ARE NOT FAMOUS.

THEY'RE NOT WEALTHY. BUT THEY ARE DEVOTED TO A CRAFT

THAT CAN IN MOMENTS BRING US ALL A LITTLE CLOSER TOGETHER.

NOW, FOR ALMOST A CENTURY WE HAVE PAUSED EVERY SPRING TO

ELEVATE AND CELEBRATE AN ART FORM THAT HAS THE POWER AT ITS

VERY BEST TO UNITE US. SO YES, EVEN IN THE FACE OF

TERRIBLE WILDFIRES AND DIVISIVE POLITICS THE WORK, WHICH IS WHAT

THIS IS ABOUT, THE WORK CONTINUES.

AND NEXT YEAR AND FOR YEARS TO COME THROUGH TRAUMA AND JOY THIS

SEEMINGLY ABSURD RITUAL IS GOING TO BE HERE. I WILL NOT.

I'M LEAVING HOLLYWOOD TO RUN A BED AND BREAKFAST IN ORLANDO.

[ LAUGHTER ]

AND I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU THERE. BUT THE MAGIC, THE MADNESS, THE

GRANDEUR AND THE JOY OF FILM

WORLDWIDE IS GOING TO BE WITH US FOREVER.

[ APPLAUSE ]

SO WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY LET'S GET THINGS STARTED.

NOW, I KNOW IN THE PAST THIS SHOW HAS GONE LONG. OKAY?

THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. I'M GOING TO RUN A TIGHT SHIP.

I'LL SAY THIS CLEARLY. I'M GOING TO MAKE IT VERY PLAIN.

I AM NOT GOING TO WASTE YOUR TIME TONIGHT.

THIRD KID FROM HER BECAUSE SHE SAID IF I WON THE AWARD SHE

WOULD GIVE ME THE KID. TURNS OUT SHE SAID THAT BECAUSE

SHE DIDN'T THINK I WAS GOING TO WIN.

AND PEOPLE CAME UP TO HER AND WERE LIKE REALLY ANNOYING HER.

I THINK IT GOT TO HER. BUT ANYWAY, AFTER THE SHOW WE'RE

WALKING THROUGH A PARKING LOT, SHE'S HOLDING THE EMMY, TRYING

TO FIND OUR CAR. EMILY YOU WERE THERE SO YOU'RE A

WITNESS. AND SHE GOES, OH GOD, I DID SAY

THAT. I GUESS I OWE YOU A THIRD KID.

AND I TURNED TO HER AND I SAID REALLY I WANT FOUR.

AND SHE TURNED TO ME I SWEAR TO GOD THIS HAPPENED THIS WAS JUST

OVER A YEAR AGO. SHE SAID, "I WILL GIVE YOU FOUR

WHEN YOU WIN AN OSCAR."

I HELD MY HAND OUT. SHE SHOOK IT. AND I HAVE NOT BROUGHT IT UP

ONCE UNTIL JUST NOW. YOU REMEMBER THAT, HONEY? YOU DO?

OKAY. THEN I JUST HAVE THIS TO SAY TO

WELCOME LILY-ROSE DEPP, ELLE FANNING, JOHN LITHGOW,

CONNIE NIELSEN, AND BOWEN YANG.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

OSCAR TONIGHT FOR LEAST SUPPORTIVE BEST FRIEND.

>> WE BARELY KNOW EACH OTHER.

LILY-ROSE, YOU GO FIRST.

>> THE FIVE OF US ALL HAD THE HONOR OF WORKING WITH THE

NOMINEES FOR COSTUME DESIGN. LINDA MUIR, THE FIRST TIME I

STEPPED INTO MY "NOSFERATU" COSTUMES, I COULD FEEL THE

WEIGHT OF HISTORY. THE RESTRICTIONS HOLDING WOMEN

DOWN, AND THE URGE TO BREAK FREE. YOUR WORK DIDN'T JUST DRESS

ELLEN HUTTER. IT TRANSFORMED OUR ENTIRE VISION

OF THE VAMPIRE. HAUNTING AND UNFORGETTABLE.

[ APPLAUSE ]

>> ARIANNE PHILLIPS, WE MET WHEN I WAS 13, BUT "A COMPLETE

UNKNOWN" IS OUR FIRST FILM COLLABORATION.

I AM IN AWE OF YOUR ARTISTRY AND YOUR DEDICATION TO EACH

CHARACTER. YOUR VINTAGE PIECES DROPPED ME

STRAIGHT INTO 1960s GREENWICH VILLAGE, THE ENERGY,

THE REBELLION, THE MOMENT. YOU TOOK ON THE TRANSFORMATION

OF ROBERT ZIMMERMAN INTO BOB DYLAN WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART.

67 LOOKS FOR TIMMY ALONE, PLUS 120 SPEAKING ROLES AND

5,000 BACKGROUND ARTISTS, ALL WHILE LEADING WITH KINDNESS AND

MAKING IT LOOK EFFORTLESS. I LOVE YOU.

YOU ARE TRULY A GENIUS.

[ APPLAUSE ]

>> HOW MANY PEOPLE DOES IT TAKE

TO DRESS 108 CARDINALS? NO, IT'S NOT THE SETUP TO A

JOKE, IT'S THE IMPOSSIBLE TASK LISY CHRISTL SOMEHOW MADE

POSSIBLE IN "CONCLAVE."

HER RESEARCH NOTES ALONE WERE 300 PAGES.

THAT'S COMMITMENT. LISY, YOU ARE EXTRAORDINARY.

AND HONESTLY, I MISS THAT COSTUME.

AT LUNCH ON SET, THAT CASSOCK WAS SO ROOMY AND FORGIVING,

GOING FOR SECONDS WAS NEVER A PROBLEM.

[ APPLAUSE ]

>> JANTY, WE MET ON "GLADIATOR," AND THE COSTUMES WERE SO AMAZING

THAT YOU WON THE OSCAR. 25 YEARS LATER, I HAD THE

PRIVILEGE OF WEARING YOUR STUNNING COSTUMES AGAIN.

YOU AND DAVE CROSSMAN, WITH AN ARMY OF ARTISANS, CREATED

THOUSANDS OF BREATHTAKING PIECES FOR "GLADIATOR II."

YOU HONOR THE ORIGINAL WHILE MAKING SOMETHING ENTIRELY NEW.

I FELT LIKE ROYALTY IN LUCILLA'S GOLD DRAPED GOWNS.

AND WHO DIDN'T LOVE DENZEL AND THOSE EARRINGS?

JANTY AND DAVE, YOU BROUGHT HISTORY TO LIFE. THANK YOU.

[ APPLAUSE ]

>> TO BE COSTUMED BY THE GREAT

PAUL TAZWELL IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST HONORS OF MY ALLEGED

CAREER. BUT PAUL, I'M ACTUALLY UPSET

WITH YOU. BECAUSE I CAN'T TALK ABOUT YOUR

COSTUMES WITHOUT SOUNDING LIKE A TOTAL JACKASS.

I DON'T WANT TO BE THE KIND OF PERSON WHO SAYS "ELPHABA'S

COSTUMING TELLS A STORY," BUT I HAVE TO, BECAUSE IT DOES,

BECAUSE OF YOU, YOU LEGEND.

IF I HAVE TO SAY THE WORDS "SUMPTUOUS FABRICS" ONE MORE

TIME, I'M GOING TO "DEFY GRAVITY" OFF THE SIDE OF THIS

STAGE. HOW VERY DARE YOU FOR BEING SUCH

A ONE-OF-A-KIND TALENT. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

[ APPLAUSE ]

BEST ACTOR. ONLY AT THE OSCARS, HERE ON ABC.

>>> EACH CHARACTER, THEY'RE ALL HUMAN. I WANTED TO WATCH THESE

CHARACTERS AND UNDERSTAND ALL THEIR THOUGHTS, BEHIND THE EYES,

EXPRESS IT SILENTLY, PORTRAY AN INNER TURMOIL.

DOUBT CAN BE HINDERING. DOUBT IS PROBLEMATIC.

IT CAN BE AN INCREDIBLE SOURCE FOR STRENGTH.

>> IF THERE WAS ONLY CERTAINTY, THERE WOULD BE NO MYSTERY.

AND THEREFORE, NO NEED FOR FAITH.

>> PREPARING FOR A LEADING ROLE INVOLVES BECOMING A DETECTIVE OF

SORTS. YOU GATHER AS MANY CLUES, DETAILS AND NUGGETS AS YOU

POSSIBLY CAN ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER.

THEN YOU USE AS LITTLE OR AS MUCH AS NECESSARY.

ALONG THE WAY, THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFICULT AND INSTINCTUAL

CHOICES ABOUT WHAT TO KEEP AND WHAT TO DISCARD.

AND THAT'S JUST ONE TINY PART OF WHAT IT TAKES TO BRING A

CHARACTER TO LIFE. AND I THINK I SPEAK FOR ALL OF

US WHO MARVELED AT THE PERFORMANCES OF THESE FIVE

NOMINEES FOR BEST ACTOR, AT EVERY TURN THEY MADE THE RIGHT

CHOICE.

ADRIEN BRODY, "THE BRUTALIST."

>> DOES NOT WANT US HERE.

HE DOES NOT WANT US HERE!

WE ARE NOTHING.

>> TIMOTHEE CHALAMET, "A COMPLETE UNKNOWN."

>> IT'S REQUIRED. IT'S ONLY 12 WEEKS.

>> GOD MADE THE WORLD IN SIX DAYS. 12 WEEKS IS A LOT LONGER.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THE EXTRA 65 DAYS.

>> ARE YOU GOD?

>> HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THIS? YES.

>> COLMAN DOMINGO, "SING SING."

>> JUST WAITING.

I'M AFRAID TO SEE YOU, MOM. I'M AFRAID TO SEE YOU.

>> RALPH FIENNES, "CONCLAVE."

>> WHAT HAS HE OFFERED YOU, SECRETARY OF STATE?

FIVE TIMES I CAST MY VOTE FOR YOU, ALDO. BUT I WAS WRONG.

YOU LACK THE COURAGE REQUIRED TO BE POPE.

>> SEBASTIAN STAN, "THE APPRENTICE."

>> MY THREE RULES OF WINNING. RULE ONE, THE WORLD IS A MESS.

THE WORLD IS A MESS, TONY. YOU HAVE TO FIGHT BACK.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE A TOUGH SKIN. ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK.

IF SOMEBODY COMES AFTER YOU WITH A KNIFE, YOU SHOOT THEM BACK

WITH A BAZOOKA.

>> AND THE OSCAR GOES TO --

ADRIEN BRODY.

>> THIS IS THE SECOND OSCAR WIN AND SECOND NOMINATION FOR ADRIE

FL BRODY. HE TOOK HOME HIS FIRST OSCAR IN

THIS CATEGORY FOR HIS ROLE IN

"THE PIANIST."

[ APPLAUSE ]

>> THEY'RE ALREADY COUNTING ME DOWN. OKAY. THANK YOU, GOD.

THANK YOU FOR THIS BLESSED LIFE.

IF I MAY JUST HUMBLY BEGIN BY GIVING THANKS FOR THE TREMENDOUS

OUTPOURING OF LOVE THAT I FELT FROM THIS WORLD AND EVERY

INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS TREATED ME WITH RESPECT AND APPRECIATION.

I FEEL SO FORTUNATE.

YOU KNOW, ACTING IS A VERY FRAGILE PROFESSION.

IT LOOKS VERY GLAMOROUS. AND IN CERTAIN MOMENTS, IT IS.

BUT THE ONE THING THAT I HAVE GAINED HAVING THE PRIVILEGE TO

COME BACK HERE IS TO HAVE SOME PERSPECTIVE.

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN YOUR CAREER, NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE

ACCOMPLISHED, IT CAN ALL GO AWAY. AND I THINK WHAT MAKES THIS

NIGHT MOST SPECIAL IS THE AWARENESS OF THAT AND THE

GRATITUDE THAT I HAVE TO STILL

DO THE WORK THAT I LOVE.

WINNING AN AWARD LIKE THIS, IT

SIGNIFIES A DESTINATION AND IT'S SOMETHING MY CHARACTER

REFERENCES IN THE FILM. BUT TO ME IT ALSO -- BEYOND THE

PINNACLE OF A CAREER, IT IS A

CHANCE TO BEGIN AGAIN. THE OPPORTUNITY TO HOPEFULLY BE

FORTUNATE ENOUGH FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS OF MY LIFE, THAT I CAN

PROVE THAT I AM WORTHY OF SUCH MEANINGFUL AND IMPORTANT AND

RELEVANT ROLES. I SHARE THIS WITH MY FELL OW

NOMINEES WHO ARE JUST WONDERFUL

HUMAN BEINGS WHO EXUDE GRACE AND

GOODNESS AND BRILLIANCE WITH THEIR WORK.

THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE TO THANK.

I WILL TRY AND BE AS BRIEF AS POSSIBLE.

I THANK, OF COURSE, MY TEAM, ANDREW SOLIS AND MY MANY FRIENDS

AT CAA AND LINDSEY GALLEN AND

HEATHER AND 824 AND FOCUS AND

UNIVERSAL FOR BELIEVING IN US. AND BRADY AND MONA, FOR WHAT YOU

HAVE DONE FOR INDEPENDENT FILM AND FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT

AND FOR GIVING ME SPACE TO EXIST IN THIS TRIUMPH OF A WORK.

MY FELLOW CAST, GUY AND FELICITY, YOU ARE JUST BRILLIANT

AND LOVELY. I SHARE THIS WITH YOU.

I SHARE THIS WITH MY AMAZING

PARTNER, GEORGINA WHO HAS REINVIGORATED MY SENSE OF VALUE

AND MY VALUES AND OUR BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN, DASH AND INDIA.

I KNOW IT'S BEEN A ROLLER COASTER.

THANK YOU FOR ACCEPTING ME INTO YOUR LIFE.

POPS, HE IS COMING HOME A WINNER. WHO ELSE?

AND JUDY BECKER, THE REAL ONE

WHO DESERVES TO BE UP HERE AS WELL. I'M WRAPPING UP.

PLEASE, PLEASE, I'M WRAPPING UP. I WILL WRAP UP.

PLEASE TURN THE MUSIC OFF. I HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE.

THANK YOU.

[ LAUGHTER ]

IT'S NOT MY FIRST RODEO. I WILL BE BRIEF.

I PROMISE.

I'M ODDLY -- I HAVE TO THANK MY MOM AND DAD WHO ARE HERE AS WELL.

[ APPLAUSE ]

THEY HAVE GIVEN ME -- THEY HAVE CREATED A STRONG FOUNDATION OF

RESPECT AND OF KINDNESS AND A WONDERFUL SPIRIT.

THEY HAVE GIVEN ME -- THEY HAVE GIVEN ME THE STRENGTH TO PURSUE

THIS DREAM.

I'M HERE ONCE AGAIN TO REPRESENT

THE LINGERING TRAUMAS AND THE REPERCUSSIONS OF WAR AND

SYSTEMATIC OPPRESSION AND OF

ANTI-SEMITISM AND RACISM AND I BELIEVE THAT -- I PRAY FOR A

HEALTHIER AND HAPPIER AND MORE INCLUSIVE WORLD.

I BELIEVE IF THE PAST CAN TEACH US ANYTHING, IT'S A REMINDER TO

NOT LET HATE GO UNCHECKED.

I WILL GET OUT OF HERE. I LOVE YOU. I APPRECIATE YOU ALL.

CATEGORY WITH YOU. I WILL PUT THIS DOWN.

WE'RE ALL HERE TONIGHT AND WATCHING THIS BROADCAST BECAUSE

WE LOVE MOVIES. WHERE DID WE FALL IN LOVE WITH

THE MOVIES? AT THE THEATER.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

WATCHING A FILM IN A THEATER WITH AN AUDIENCE IS AN

EXPERIENCE. WE CAN LAUGH TOGETHER, CRY

TOGETHER, SIT IN SILENCE TOGETHER AND IN A TIME IN WHICH

THE WORLD CAN FEEL VERY DIVIDED, THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN

EVER, IT'S A COMMUNAL EXPERIENCE YOU DON'T GET AT HOME.

RIGHT NOW, THE THEATER GOING EXPERIENCE IS UNDER THREAT.

MOVIE THEATERS, ESPECIALLY INDEPENDENTLY OWNED THEATERS,

ARE STRUGGLING. IT'S UP TO US TO SUPPORT THEM.

DURING THE PANDEMIC, WE LOST NEARLY 1,000 SCREENS IN THE U.S.

WE CONTINUE TO LOSE THEM REGULARLY.

IF WE DON'T REVERSE THIS TREND, WE WILL LOSE A VITAL PART OF OUR

CULTURE. THIS IS MY BATTLE CRY. FILMMAKERS, MAKE FILMS FOR THE

BIG SCREEN. I KNOW I WILL.

[ APPLAUSE ]

DISTRIBUTORS, PLEASE FOCUS FIRST AND FOREMOST ON THE THEATRICAL

RELEASES OF YOUR FILMS. NEON DID THAT FOR ME.

I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

PARENTS, INTRODUCE YOUR CHILDREN TO FEATURE FILMS IN MOVIE

THEATERS. YOU WILL BE MOLDING THE NEXT

GENERATION OF MOVIE LOVERS AND FILMMAKERS.

WHEN WE CAN, WATCH MOVIES IN THE THEATER.

KEEP THE GREAT TRADITION OF THE MOVIE GOING EXPERIENCE ALIVE AND

WELL. ONE LAST THING, MY MOTHER INTRODUCED ME TO CINEMA AT 5

YEARS OLD. TODAY IS ALSO HER BIRTHDAY.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM. I LOVE YOU. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.
