Himself - Winner:
Best Actor in a Supporting Role: Oh boy! Wow. Thank you so much, members of the Academy. This is really a lovely, lovely honor. I'd like to thank my fellow nominees, who are all spectacular, and I want to work with all of you in a movie at some point. Dennis Lehane, Brian Helgeland for the writing of this amazing script. Clint Eastwood, you're so great. You're such an amazing director. And you're making my mantel very crowded. Thank you. It's due to you, sir. My fellow cast members: Sean Penn, Kevin Bacon, Marcia Gay Harden, Laura Linney, Laurence Fishburne. The crew was fantastic. Toni Howard, Lisa Kasteler, Alan Horn, Bruce Berman, Jeff Robinov, and from Warner Bros. Joe Hyams. Judie Hoyt, Rob Lorenz. My mom and dad. Dave, Adele, Gabi, Terry - hang in there. You can kick it. Geiss family, your dad's smiling down on you. Susan, I love you so much. Eva, Jack, Miles, thanks for being there for me. Susan, thanks for being the best friend one could have. The Actors' Gang in "Embedded" in New York, thank you so much for putting up with me being here. And I would like to say one more thing. In this movie I play a victim of abuse and violence, and if you are out there and are a person that has had that tragedy befall you, there is no shame and no weakness in seeking help and counseling. It is sometimes the strongest thing that you can do to stop the cycle of violence. Thank you.
