I celebrate my fellow nominees' beautiful,
beautiful work. I'm just going to thank a bunch of actors
here starting with the remarkable KILLING EVE cast. Thank you
Jodie Comer, Fiona Shaw, Owen McDonnell and Kim Bodnia. And
Sean Delaney and Kirby Howell-Baptiste is here. Darren Boyd
and David Haig.
I'd like to thank my mentor Kim Gillingham and all
the fellow creative dreamers. I am not the actor I am without
the work that we share.
And I just so want to thank my fellow actors. I
have felt your support so tremendously for the past years. I
want to thank Alfre Woodard -- wait. In 1997 -- she's never
going to remember this -- in 1997, she whispered in my ear,
"I'm so proud of you out there. We fight the same fight."
Jamie Foxx, in 2006, pulled me aside and he said,
"Keep going."
And in 2017, Lena Waithe, she just embraced me and
said, "You already won. It's in the works."
So thank you to my fellow actors. Thank you so
much.
