Julian Fellowes: Self - Winner

Quotes 

• Julian Fellowes - Winner: Best Original Screenplay : I think I'll hold it, I don't want to let go of it now. I feel as if I'm in "A Star Is Born" and any minute now "Norman Maine" is going to come out and whack me in the mouth. Well, obviously my thanks start with the great Robert Altman who has given me the biggest break in the movies since Lana Turner walked into Schwab's. And then Scott Greenstein and USA. Capitol Films. Ileen Maisel, who told me to write. Bob Balaban, who got me the job. Cathy King, Duncan Heath, Ronni Chasen. And of course my terrific son Peregrine and my wife, the beautiful Emma, who has a lot to put up with. When I'm not working I'm mean, moody and difficult. And then when I start on a new job I change into someone who is even more mean, moody and difficult. But finally, I want to thank the Academy and all of you for your tradition of kindness to foreigners like myself. I think you must be the most generous nation on earth. So thank you very much and God bless America.
