good evening! ladies and gentlemen,

　　thank you! thank you so much! oh, my god. i just can’t believe it. is it real or just a dream? please forgive me, i am, i am just so shocked and so thankful. i never expected this award tonight. i’m very grateful to receive this award for “best actress.”

　　i can’t begin to tell you how much i appreciate this great honor. there are so many people i’d like to thank. first of all, i want to thank my parents for bringing me into this world. i also want to express my gratitude to all of my teachers over the years, but especially to my acting teacher clark johnson who taught me everything i know.

　　i want to thank my husband, for his understanding and kindness. and finally, i want to express my appreciation to all of my friends for their support, especially to martin miller, for being there when i needed him. there are just too many people i should thank and i know i am probably forgetting someone. so again, i just want to say thank you to everyone who helped me, supported me, or just listened to me when i needed a shoulder to cry on.

　　this award means a great deal to me. words can’t express how honored i feel at this moment. i will remember this night for the rest of my life! thank you very much.
