JAMES FRIEND:  It's not my birthday, but I feel like it is.  I mean, what an honor.  Academy, thank you so much.  Thank you for everything.  And my fellow nominees, your work is just outstanding and inspires me.  And just thank you everybody.  My entire crew, who made this happen for me, made me look better than I am.  And my darling mom and dad when I was  when I said I wanted to run off to the circus, join the circus or the film industry, they believed in me.  And thank you.  And my beautiful wife, encouraging.  My brother and my sister who just, yeah, pushed me and pushed me and pushed me.  And, Edward Berger, just thank you so much.  I'm sorry if I missed anyone else, but thank you.  From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much.  Thank you so much.
