Winner's acceptance speech on behalf of Ryan Murphy, Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson for The People v OJ Simpson in the International category
CUBA GOODING JR: Now, wait a minute. I am a boy from the hood who flew over and now I am in London on this stage, accepting gold. It has been an emotional rollercoaster of a year for me. But I am just the vessel here representing the filmmaking team. I want to first of all thank the BAFTA organisation and could literally kiss every person in this room. But I just have to stay focussed so I don't forget anybody. But the producing team, Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson; and obviously the cast, which I am a part of, from John Travolta. Sarah Paulson, Courtney B Vance, David Schwimmer. I could be here all day listing the powerhouse of performers we had. The directors, John Singleton, Anthony Hemmingway. The writing team, DV DeVincentis -- look, they're counting down already.
(Laughter)
But the one true vision that stands out and shows the true excellence is why we are all here, representing this -- (kisses award) -- is because of one man, and his name is Ryan Murphy. Ryan Murphy's vision is what brought us here and I can't say enough about his attention to detail and his finding of the truth. It was a tragedy, what happened that day to those two people, and I just hope that we shined a little bit of light on what really happened. And again, we thank you.
Thank you very much.
(Applause)
