STEVE BUSCEMI: I lost my speech, I had it written on the other paper and I don’t know where it is, so I don’t have any of the names that I wanted to thank. But I’m so glad that this cast won because I love them all so much. We love all the actors in our cast. We want to thank HBO for giving us this opportunity and all the support that they give us: Richard Plepler, Sue Naegle, Michael Lombardo, Jocelyn Diaz – who am I forgetting, I don’t know. Gene Kelly, we want to – well, all the producers. Now I have time left and I have to keep talking. Somebody else could talk, I’m supposed to represent.
PAZ DE LA HUERTA: Thank you Ellen Lewis in believing in me and everybody here. You’re phenomenal. And Martin Scorsese, of course. And Terry Winter.
STEVE BUSCEMI: Thank you so much. This is an honor, thank you so much.

ED O’NEILL: Hi, how ya doing? When the cast told me they wanted me to speak, I started to think, “Gee, I hope we don’t win.” [laughter] But thank you Screen Actors Guild members, this was one that I think we all wanted because the show, as you know is set up for an ensemble. And we’re having a ball doing it, I’m very lucky to have the job – we all are. I’d like to thank our producers: Chris Lloyd and Steve Levitan. [applause] Our directors, our writers are great. The kids are wonderful, and that’s it. Thank you.

Wow, I was given an award by Alec and Betty White. That’s - thank you so much, I really appreciate that. This is a little – I didn’t know this was going to be the first one, so I’m a little – I’m very nervous. I want to thank, and tip my hat to Bryan Cranston, Michael C. Hall and Jon Hamm, and Hugh Laurie; it’s an honor to be nominated with you. [applause]
I want to thank our amazing crew on “Boardwalk,” they’ve been a second family to us. I want to thank Ellen Lewis, our wonderful casting director, on the pilot. I want to thank her especially for sticking with me and having faith after my awful audition 27 years ago when she brought me in to see Brian de Palma for “The Untouchables.” So, I was, you know, just like, “Huma-huma-huma, thank you. Huma-huma, okay,” and I left. And Meredith Tucker, who cast the show now, thanks for bringing us all the wonderful actors that you bring – that you bring in. I can’t talk, I’m sorry.
I want to thank all our wonderful directors led by my hero Tim Van Patten. I want to thank all the writers on the show, and especially the one who is, you know, he does every role in his head: Terry Winter. Thank you so much, we love you. [applause] Congratulations to Martin Scorsese, yesterday for his DGA win. Marty, we love you, we hope you feel better and we love working with you. Please come back. I want to thank Staci Wolfe, Lee Stollman, Esther Chang and everybody at WME. My wife Jo and Lucian. I want to thank my mom and dad, thank you so much for just letting me be me. I love you.
I love all of you, I love actors. Thank you so much, I really appreciate this. [applause]

What an honor this is, I can’t even tell you, I’m incredibly moved. I love my job so much and I’m so grateful to Robert and Michelle King for giving me just the role of a lifetime really. And all the writers and producers on our show are so spectacular, and make going to work such a joy. And thank you New York for keeping us – well the Teamsters who have been digging us out of the snow for the past two weeks. And my brilliant, brilliant crew, and my talented cast, I cannot tell you – Fred Murphy, I’m the luckiest actor on television to be standing in your light.
And Dan Lawson to be wearing your clothes, and Beth Kushnick to be on your sets. And Andrea and Rose and Colleen and my Joe for taking such good care of me. And Alex Nhancale, I could not survive without you. And Cari Ross, thank you for 16 years of friendship and pristine guidance. Oh God, Michelle Bohan, Steve Dontanville, Frank Frattaroli, I cannot thank you for all your dedication and support. My beautiful family and my sweet friends, you’re all so inspiring to me.
And I just want to say thank you to my in-laws. [laughter] Ken and Jane Lieberthal, thank you for producing truly the most spectacular human being who I get to call my husband. Life is just better with you in it, Keith. [applause]

Oh wow, man, that’s so weird. I have to say, all the best lines I had obviously come from Tina, and Tina said, when Melissa Leo won for “The Fighter,” she goes, “She’s doing Poehler, she’s doing Amy.” [laughter] “She’s just doing you in the show.” And if you know Amy, that’s Amy. Anyway, never mind. [laughter] Anyway, I’m so happy to get this from you.
Listen, I don’t know what to say, this is ridiculous. [laughter] I’m so happy, we’ve had a great year with the show, and I feel compelled – because of everybody else – to thank the Teamsters. Thank you to the Teamsters, in New York. When you work in New York and you gotta go to work, you don’t want to have to get a cab or the subway; it was very nice to have these people drive us to work every day.
But most of all I want to thank Lorne and Marci, and Tina, Robert Carlock, John Riggi, Matt Hubbard, all of our writers, our cast. I’m going to wrap it up and say thank you all. Thank you to all the people from SAG who gave me this award again. Thank you so much. [applause]

I cannot believe this. I... I – and, and they had to get the old broad up those stairs, and that’s not easy. [laughter] I must say, this is the biggest surprise I’ve ever had in this business. There wasn’t a prayer, I am so lucky to be at this – at 89 to be working with... [applause] You didn’t applaud when I turned 40. [laughter] I don’t know when... No, but I’m working on the happiest set I think in the business.
We have these ladies: Valerie Bertinelli, and Wendie Malick, and Jane Leeves, and all of the – the whole wonderful cast of “Hot in Cleveland.” We can’t wait to go to work every day. I know that sounds like a cliché to say we’re family, we’re more than family. We fell in love the first day we worked together and it’s still like that. I just can’t believe – but to have this happen, on top of... ooh! [laughter] On top of everything else, I cannot say thank you enough. [laughter] [applause]
Wow, okay. So, this is an incredible category. These are my friends who I’m nominated with: Winona, Susan, my fellow little ladies – little women – Catherine and Julia. Okay, so in some ways this was a very isolating character to play, I played an autistic woman who had trouble reciprocating. And I couldn’t even look my fellow actors in the eye, but I was so crazy blessed to work with really some of the finest actors out there: David Strathairn, Julia, Catherine.
On the second day of filming I was just suddenly so panicked, I was overwhelmed – I had a real crisis of confidence. And I was shooting a scene with Catherine and she just used every tool in her, like, bag of funny. She just – she, like, was mugging and making faces, and she, like, crossed her eyes, and she did anything she could to just make me laugh and get out of my head, and chill out! And she rescued me then, and that kind of support was so abundant throughout this whole experience. So thank you.
Thank you, Mick Jackson for creating such a provocative, imaginative, wonderful story. Thank you, Temple, who is no act. She’s a real thing, I just played her on TV – on HBO. And thank you to my favorite, my favorite husband, my favorite actor, my favorite man, my Hugh – my Hugh, my love. I love you. Thank you.
