ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
-----------------
Thank you so much to the Academy for this tremendous, tremendous
honor. I share it with others, Ralph Fiennes my luminous acting
partner. Fernando Meirelles our director who is brimming over with
such humanity and our dignified sensitive producer, Simon Channing
Williams, and of course, John le Carre, who wrote this unflinching,
angry story. And he really paid tribute to the people who are
willing to risk their own lives to fight injustice. And they're
greater men and women than I. But thank you, thank you so much.
Thank you.
