00:00Catherine O'Hara, le studio.
00:23Hello.
00:40I was asked to assume the very sad honour of accepting this award on O'Hara's behalf.
00:49I know she would have been honoured to receive this award from her fellow performers, who
00:55I know she respected so much. She was such big fans of all of yours. I obviously, you
01:02know, have been reflecting on the time I was fortunate enough to spend with her and working
01:06with her. And something that I've just been marveling at over the last few weeks was really
01:12her ability to be generous and kind and gracious, while never, ever minimizing her own talents,
01:21and her own ability to contribute to the work that we were doing. She knew she could destroy,
01:28and she wanted to destroy every day on set.
01:38Pretty much every evening before she had a shooting day on our show, she would email me and Evan
01:45an email that always was pretty similar and it said, hello, I hope you'll consider the following.
01:51And then there would be a completely rewritten version of the scene. She was it. And literally
02:00100% of the time, it made not just her character better, but it made the scene better and the
02:06entire show better as a whole. And she really showed that you can be a genius and be kind,
02:14and one of those things does not have to come at the expense of the other in any way, shape,
02:19or form.
02:23So, I guess I'll just leave you with this. If you have people in your lives that don't know her
02:29work, if there are kids in your lives or just people who are out of touch or stupid or something,
02:35just show them O'Hara dancing to Harry Belafonte in Beetlejuice. Show them O'Hara hurting her knee
02:42in Best in Show and doing that amazing thing where she hobbles around and tell the people as they are
02:49laughing
02:49that that's Captain O'Hara and we were lucky that we got to live in a world where she so
02:54generally
02:54shared her talents with us. Thank you.
