It may be fun to win an Academy Award for something. I may or may not get to win anything, but what the hell.

My siblings, I hate you, but thanks anyway. You guys suck.
Also, I would like to thank the Academy/Bafta/whoever for giving me this award.
And I believe that God knows we are thankful by making full use of the gifts he/she/it has given us.
Do I have time? Thank you Neil Gaiman and -oh, the music's playing - Alan Moore, Brian Michael Bendis, Grant Morrison, Eminem. For showing what great writing is all about.
