This is not going to be 45 seconds, I can say that right now. Has anybody ever fainted here? Because I might be the first one. Thank you so much to the Academy. I want to share this with my fellow nominees and
with the amazing ensemble of actors that I had the privilege to work with in this movie. Thank you, Woody, for trusting me with this beautiful character. Thank for you having written over all these years some of the
greatest characters for women. And I cannot talk about great female characters without thanking my friend Pedro Almodóvar for having made me part of so many of his adventures. Thank you, Bigas Luna, Fernando
Trueba, for giving me my first movies. Thank you, Harvey Weinstein. I wanted to dedicate this to my parents and to my brother and sister, to my friend Robert Carlo, who is not with us anymore, and to everyone who
has helped me from the beginning and you know who you are and I thank you from my heart.
I grew up in a place called Alcobendas, where this was not a very realistic dream. And I, always on the night of the Academy Awards, I stay up to watch the show and I always felt that this was, this ceremony was a
moment of unity for the world because art, in any form, is and has been and will always be our universal language and we should do everything we can, everything we can, to protect its survival. So I thank you so much
and I have to say something in Spanish, because everyone?
[Speaks in Spanish.]

Really? Slumdog Millionaire?
Slumdog Millionaire has won Best Motion Picture but that doesn’t mean it needs to be remembered as the best film of 2008. Forrest Gump won in ’94 and now most seem to prefer Shawshank Redemption. Watch Slumdog again. Question why the movie starts with a cheesy Who Wants To Be A Millionaire question and ends with its equally cheesy answer.

If AP Is Suing Bloggers Who Use It's Hot News? How Does It Explain YouTube?
The AP has a provision for one to use it's videos on their blogs. We use that here. But does that mean we're going to have to worry about the Associated Press suing us for using videos they posted and allowed us to use on YouTube? It seems like they could try, and lose at , doing that.
Pay attention to this AP v. All Headiine News case because a kind of argument like that is being advanced by the same AP as above. They can't win and All Headline News should file a motion for the judge to toss the case on the grounds that they can't win it.
Stay tuned.
