ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

Thank you so much for this. Thank you everyone who voted for me. This is incredible. I just want to say I had a fantastic time working on this film. It was, um, I really didn't want it to end. I had a wonderful time in India and so I'd like to thank my crew in India firstly. That was Vivek, Udayan, Anuradha, they're all fantastic. And also in England, Tina and Tom, who worked really hard in the editing with us to get the film finished. And also my family, my sisters Sally, Ally, Lizzy, my parents, my wife Clio who sort of put up with all the hours I was working, disappearing. And, um, but especially to Danny, who's over there, Danny and Christian and Simon and Anthony for just producing such great material. You know, fantastic stuff to work with. So, I, um, thank you and, um, yeah, you really inspired me. I'm really proud. Thank you.
