CATEGORY: BEST MOTION PICTURE OF THE YEAR
SPEECH BY: SCOTT RUDIN, ETHAN COEN AND JOEL COEN
FILM: "NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN"
Scott Rudin:
This is an unbelievable honor and a complete surprise. So many people have
a part of this, chief among them Cormac McCarthy, who wrote a wonderful
book that it was an honor to make into a movie. The three men sitting down
front, Josh Brolin, Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem, without them there
would be no movie.
These two gentlemen [to Joel and Ethan Coen], I can't think of anybody I
would rather be standing here with than the two of you. Thank you so much
for this.
Everybody at Vantage and Miramax who financed the movie together. The
entire team at Miramax who did a brilliant, brilliant job selling it.
Thank you to all of them.
I want to thank Mark Roybal, It's a pleasure to work with him every day.
I want to thank my friend, Sydney Pollack, who taught me that with the
responsibility -- with the opportunity to make movies comes the
responsibility of making them good. This for him.
This is also for my partner John Barlow. Without you, honey, this would be
hardware. Thank you so much. Thank you.
