Thank you. Oh. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Uh. I am- I'm supposed to speak on behalf of... our cast. And. There's supposed to be a teleprompter somewhere. And I don't see it, so. So I'm just gonna speak. Uh...
So, first of all... this project... is anointed. This project is anointed, and from that standpoint, uh, we are all anointed to be a part of this incredible journey. Created by the genius Ryan Coogler.
Zinzi. Sev. Mike De Luca, Pam Abby. I have to do this. I'm sorry, but I got to do it. There's a young lady named Suzanne Fritz who's right there. Ayy, ayy. Suzanne, stand up, stand up, stand up. Because, because Suzanne has been there from the beginning, giving us faith and belief that never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever faltered since Suzanne Fritz.
Extraordinary. I love y'all, man. Thank you. Every last one of this cast, this company, the company, in front of the camera, behind the camera. Francine Maisler.
We brought every single day, every single day, we brought ourselves, we brought our hearts, we brought our souls, we brought our spirits to this endeavor. And to be recognized by you all... Thank you does not come anywhere near to encompassing what we feel, the gratitude. And they tell me to wrap up. I'm not going to wrap up. Thank you. Thank you. I don't know. From the bottom of our hearts to the bottom of your hearts: Thank you so much. Thank you so much for everything. God bless y'all.
Wow. I want to take a minute to see all these incredible, inspiring faces and souls in front of me. I have been categorically changed by so many people in this room and beyond. To um to get to work with my... part of my hand and stand beside my brilliant... Daring friends who show me their heart. I mean what a way to spend a life. Thank you, Thank you. I'd like to, um... You! I'd like to say a special thank you to my incredible friend and date tonight, Emily Watson.
Breaking the waves made me whisper to myself, "That's what I want to do." And to share those scenes with you in Hamnet, I will cherish that for the rest of my life. Your wild imagination, your, brave untethered womanhood, your ferocious gentleness is a guiding light to me and the best advice that you always give to me is to always go back to the well of just being human. Ground zero, babe. You're the realest of the real. I love and cherish being part of this community. I hope that I can... I hope that I can continue to offer something meaningful back. Thank you very much. This is such a privilege.

Ugh. Oh, man. I don't even know where to begin. I wasn't expecting this at all. And I just want to quickly say that I'm so honored and privileged to be nominated in categories with people and actors and humans that I love, and I love their work and what you contribute to our craft. This ride has been unbelievable, so thank you for welcoming me in and making me feel seen, bro. And y'all know how I feel about y'all. Ugh. I remember, yeah, I want to thank SAG-AFTRA. I remember as a kid, uh, in this industry, you had to earn your vouchers to become a member of SAG. And I remember, you know, I thought it was, you know, this club. This club that I want to be in so bad but you had to get, you know, vouchers depending on how many lines you had in an episode or a show would determine, you know, if you, if you if you got that, got that, got that membership card or not. And. And I remember watching all the other actors that I looked up to being a part of that club, being a part of SAG-AFTRA, being a part of this community. And I was like, man, I want to be that one day. So I remember when I got my SAG-AFTRA card, I was like, 'Man, I'm a, I'm like an entry-level member." And those guys that were onstage with the awards and the nice suits talking being in fancy places like that, that's what I always wanted. And that kid from North Jersey is standing here right now. Um, Mom, thank you for driving me back and forth to New York when we didn't have enough money to go through the Holland Tunnel. When we were looking for gas money, parking spaces, you know what I'm saying. When I went up there for my auditions, thank you. Um, I want to thank Ryan Coogler for giving me the opportunity to show what I can do and to be fearless and to... create a safe space for us to find the truth. What you do with all the other actors that we had the opportunity to work with— Wunmi, Miles, Delroy, Hailee, Jayme, Li-Li, Omar, everybody that had something to do with this movie. You guys lent us your talents and you left us your time and your vulnerability. So thank you for allowing me to do my best work. Man, just being in this room right now with all these people who've seen me grow up in front of the camera and in these rooms, and I feel the love and support that you've always given me and encouraged me to go on and do my best. So just want to say thank you and uh, yeah, man, it's pretty cool. Yes, please. Thank you. Oh, Mike, Pam, Warner Brothers, thank you guys. Love y'all.
Woo hoo hoo hoo! Ha ha ha! Wow! Yeah. It's such an honor to be here. I've been doing this a long ass time, and I have never been nominated by the SAG committee and by the Guild. I'm a proud member, and I keep getting asked tonight, well, what is it about this night? And I said, because actors love other actors. They just love being with them. We want to be working with them. We want to look up at them and just go, man, you guys are so good. I just want to thank everybody. I'm a union person. I come from Chicago and everything. Everybody in my family, all my friends, relatives, whatever, we're all union people. And I don't care what somebody says, they're not going to bust us, ever.
But, um... Gladys is... It has surprised me. She's getting a lot of love back. Hee hee! I didn't know y'all wanted to hang out with her, so. Anyway, but you know what? This is about the actors and I'm so happy for this because I want to give a shout out to the ensemble. Which is the beautiful Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, Alden Einrich. Austin Abrams, little Kerry Christopher, you know, Benedict Wong, Toby Huss. I mean, all of the little kids who ran around with us and the stunt people. I did terrorize them, but... I let them rip me apart, so it was okay. It truly is the ensemble, and I just want to thank, of course, Zack Cregger for this. Great honor. I wasn't expecting this, but... It does really mean a lot to me, from my peers. We had a lot of casting changes because of COVID and strikes and this and that. And I want to give a shout out to Allison Jones who assembled all of us.
Woo-hoo-hoo! Let's see, what do we have here? Okay. Anyway, sorry, I digressed. It was like when you were little and you had the Barbie and then you got Ken and you whipped down his drawers and you went, 'Ken has nothing.' I never quite understood. Anyway, I really am digressing. I apologize. Ha ha ha! As you can tell, I'm nervous and I'm just overwhelmed and so happy. Thank you everybody, so much.
