Quotes Writer Diabo Cody (“Juno”), hoisting her statuette: “I would like to thank [manager] Mason Novick, who introduced me to Jason Reitman, who introduced me to Ellen Page, who introduced me to this motherfucker.” Writer/director Tamara Jenkins (“The Savages”): “I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for Fox Searchlight, because they made my first movie and my second movie, and hopefully, they’ll make my third movie if I ever write it.” Jenkins joked that she can now do bicep work by using her statuette along with husband and previous winner Jim Taylor’s trophy. Director Julian Schnabel (“The Diving Bell and the Butterfly”): “I thought this was definitely going to Jason Reitman because he got the biggest applause. This is for you, Jason. Cate Blanchett (“I’m Not There”) dedicated her award to the film’s Heath Ledger, whom she referred to as “probably one of the most beautiful independent spirits of all.” Presenter Patricia Clarkson: “We were lucky to live in Heath’s time.” Writer/director Chris Eska (“August Evening”), who landed the John Cassavetes Award for feature made for less than $500,000, said: “I’d like to thank my agent, but I don’t have an agent. Hopefully, that will change.” |
