I Don't Belong On This Earth. I Always Feel Out Of Place - Like A Visitor.

Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences, Fellow Members Of The Motion Picture Industry And Honored Guests. This Is One Of The Happiest Moments Of My Life, And I Want To Thank Each One Of You Who Had A Part In Selecting Me For One Of Their Awards For Your Kindness. It Has Made Me Feel Very, Very Humble And I Shall Always Hold It As A Beacon For Anything That I May Be Able To Do In The Future. I Sincerely Hope I Shall Always Be A Credit To My Race And To The Motion Picture Industry. My Heart Is Too Full To Tell You Just How I Feel, And May I Say Thank You And God Bless You.
