RON'S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH "Oh "Oh my God!... For as long as I've been watching these shows on television, I wondered why all the long, boring thank you speeches. And now that I've got a bit of work in this industry I realise why. It's because nobody gets up here for doing good work in this industry; people get up here when a lot of people do good work in this industry. (Applause.) So with your kind indulgence. Thank you Kim LeMasters and CBS for your faith. Tony Thomas and Paul Witt for your exquisite good taste in projects. To Linda Hamilton, for your beauty, without and within. To Rick Baker and Margaret Beserra, for turning this (indicates his face) into a romantic hero. (Laughter.) To my wife, Opal Stone; my mother; my daughter; EM, my manager. And the best network of family and friends anybody in this industry could ever have. And last, but most - to Ron Koslow - out of whose imagination sprung Vincent, a character which I feel stands among the greatest in all of dramatic literature. I am truly blessed with good fortune. Thank you."
