And the winner for 'Best Acceptance Speech' is...

Hugh Laurie.

I am speechless. I'm literally without a speech. It seems odd to me that in the weeks leading up to this event, when people are falling over themselves to send you free shoes and free cufflinks and free colonic irrigations for two, nobody offers you a free acceptance speech. It just seems to me to be a gap in the market. I would love to be able to pull out a speech by Dolce & Gabbana.

I agree whole heartedly. :)

Sacha Baron Cohen's speech was pretty good, too, though much grosser.....

His speech was the highlight of my night. "Someone somewhere has a team of drunken thieves. Mine all smell of freshly-mown grass."

Yes indeed. His is a unique story: the put-upon, underappreciated, second-fiddle member of a highly successful comedy double-act who escapes to America and becomes a big star, while...hang on a moment...

That really is something to remember. Thus, this post is memorified.

Didn't he have a smashing speech last year as well?

Applause! 'bout time we started getting creative acceptance speeches from creative people... :)

I am currently doing jury duty downtown in LA, so today wandered over to Olvera Street for lunch, and to see if there were any cats in the tree (none I could see.) :)

Thanks for the link! I wasn't able to watch it, but the speech was fantastic.
