There’s a feeling floating around that during these tough hard economic times that the impulse and the future might be to make more movies for broader audiences, and I just want to say that we can’t ever forget that we are also an audience of individuals. And without the kinds of movies nominated tonight we would be in danger of losing that thing none of us can live without, we can’t work without. We give it to each other everyday through the work we do and that is inspiration.
