[edit] Acceptance Speech

"Wow. Talk about beginner's luck. Thank you very much, members of the Academy. This is my first film, but I certainly didn't work with beginners. I thank the entire team of documentary people at HBO, Jeff Bewkes, Chris Albrecht, and, most especially, thank you Sheila Nevins. Also Geof Bartz, Julie Anderson. There are a few people who were with me from the very beginning, three years ago, Mitchell Block, Lisa Leeman, and my cinematographer Tamara Goldsworthy. I'm here because of my family and friends. Thank you. I wish I can name you all. Lastly, I want to dedicate this award to my film's subjects, Walter Dees and his grandmother, Viola, who died, unfortunately, in December at 91. I'm sure she would want, though, to share this award with the grandmothers like her who are struggling to raise a generation of children whose own parents abandoned them. Thanks very much, and thank you to all of those grandparents out there. Thank you."
