"Where were you during the filming Brad?" It is an honor to meet you. Tonight, I forgive all those who scratch my name. Usually I watch the Oscars from my television, being here alone on stage I can't believe it. I don't believe in competition. How I can win in front of Glenn Close whom I admire so much. Tonight I'm a little luckier than my four fellows, but you guys are wonderful. This reward is finally for my two boys who have always pushed me to work and to go out. Mom did a good job. "
It is a consecration for this 73-year-old actress whose career spans five decades and who retired from cinema for a time before returning to television, then to the big screen. This victory is also a further sign of the Oscars' openness to diversity. This year could see all the winners of the performer categories come from minorities.
