Speech
I am terrified. I would like to thank the Academy. At Universal,
Ron Meyer, Stacey Snider and Scott Stuber. At DreamWorks, Steven
Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen. My agents Richard
Lovett, Risa Gertner and Tori Metzger and my attorney Steve Warren.
I would like to thank the film's producers, the unstoppable Brian
Grazer and the gifted Karen Kehela. I would like to thank John and
Alicia Nash for their extraordinary courage and for entrusting us
with their lives. I would like to thank the dazzling Russell Crowe
whose incalculable talent and dedication are the very life of A
BEAUTIFUL MIND. And I would like to thank Ron Howard whose persistence
of vision and unflagging grace are the movie's soul. And I'd like
to dedicate this award to my three parents, Tev Goldsman, Mira Rothenberg
and Elizabeth Lee, who taught me that when understanding people
who suffer from mental illness, it is good to have a beautiful mind
but a greater gift still is to discover a beautiful heart. Thank
you for this.
