"Well, I guess this proves there are as many nuts in the Academy as anywhere else," Nicholson joked. "But, since you gave me the chance, I'm really happy to get an opportunity to thank Saul and Michael and Louise and Brad and Lawrence and Bo, and all of the guys in the company, all of the feebs brigade. And I'd like to thank Miss Pickford who, incidentally, I believe was the first actor to get a percentage of her pictures.And speaking of a percentage, last but not least, my agent, who about ten years ago advised me that I had no business being an actor. Thank you."
