Having any fun yet?
Tom has always told us his mission.
How far can I go to entertain an audience?
I mean, it's kind of been my whole career.
And at last night's ceremony,
he asked everyone in the audience to get on their feet.
Glad to see you.
Thank you.
And I want you to know that I will always do
everything I can to help this art form,
to support and champion new voices,
to protect what makes cinema powerful,
and hopefully without too many more broken bones.
That would be nice.
