00:01Wow.
00:06Thank you so much to all the members of SAG.
00:10I am so proud to be a member.
00:13I've been a member since 2001,
00:14and so now I feel like I'm finally part of the family.
00:17And I know you all are artists,
00:20and I know what you all know
00:22what it's like to be a starving actor.
00:24Back then, I used to sleep in my car,
00:26I slept in my dressing room backstage,
00:28I couch surfed, and all of that.
00:31You feel me, right?
00:34And so, thank you so much.
00:36I'm so grateful to SAG to protect us actors.
00:41And now, the producers,
00:44thank you so much to Pathé and Vendôme
00:46for having faith in our project.
00:48They really believed in us,
00:50and they believed in our amazing director, Sean Hader,
00:53who is a fine director.
00:55I love our cast, Marley, Daniel, Eugenio,
01:02Amelia, Daniel, Ferdia, and Amy.
01:06Thank you so much.
01:07What a talented cast.
01:08And I'm so grateful to Apple TV Plus
01:12for all of their support and access,
01:14like burned-in closed captioning,
01:17providing ASL interpreting services,
01:19and believing in us deaf actors,
01:21and casting us authentically as actors
01:23who happen to be deaf.
01:25So, hats off to Apple TV Plus.
01:30And finally, my wife.
01:34She is still here with me today.
01:37She's been with me through all these years of struggle.
01:39Thank you so much for being my backbone,
01:42and thank you for supporting me.
01:44I love you.
01:47And my daughter.
01:49My daughter, Kira, too.
01:51You know, Kira,
01:52this award is not for you to hang your jewelry on.
01:55All right?
01:56Keep that in mind.
01:59And, finally,
