The 77th Annual Academy Awards2005

Himself - Winner:
Best Foreign Language Film: Thank you so much. This film is based on a man who, despite his desire for death, spread so much life around him. So, the first third part of this award belongs to him, wherever he is. The second third part is for Javier Bardem for his outstanding performance and his generosity. And another third part goes to, of course, my friend and producer, Fernando Bovaira, to the fabulous cast and crew for being so focused on this movie since the very beginning. And as for me, I'm just so pleased because it seems that I'm in charge of keeping it in one piece for the rest of my life. So, thank you so much.
