Acceptance speech by Christoph Waltz, winner of the Supporting Actor category for Django Unchained at the EE Britsh Academy Film Awards in 2013.
CHRISTOPH WALTZ: Thank you, thank you so much for this immense honour.
It's -- why I get to stand here is really no mystery because it says so at the very beginning of our movie: written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. But of course, I want to thank Jamie Foxx and Leo DiCaprio and Sam Jackson and Kerry Washington for their camaraderie and help, and Harvey Weinstein and Amy Pascal for their attention. And I want to thank Adam Schweitzel for his support and enthusiasm and Lisa Costella for making me shine.
But it all starts and ends with Quentin. Really, beyond everything that I need and want to thank you for, Quentin, the thing that touches me the most is your unconditional trust that I will put your creation to its proper use, you silver-penned devil, you. Thank you.
