@@marianocarlinivisintainer8024 Well it does kinda matter, because this person is saying she is the most English person ever and the United Kingdom is not English. It doesn't say 'English' on a birth certificate. It says British. And Emma Thompson being British and also half Scottish and spending the majority of her life in Scotland outside work, would make her pretty much the last candidate for most English person ever. So it does fucking matter.
"Four A.M. Having just returned from an evening at the Golden Spheres, which despite the inconveniences of heat, noise and overcrowding, was not without its pleasures. Thankfully, there were no dogs and no children. The gowns were middling. There was a good deal of shouting and behavior verging on the profligate, however, people were very free with their compliments and I made several new acquaintances. Miss Lindsay Doran, of Mirage, wherever that might be, who is largely responsible for my presence here, an enchanting companion about whom too much good cannot be said. Mr. Ang Lee, of foreign extraction, who most unexpectedly appeared to understand me better than I understand myself. Mr. James Schamus, a copiously erudite gentleman, and Miss Kate Winslet, beautiful in both countenance and spirit. Mr. Pat Doyle, a composer and a Scot, who displayed the kind of wild behavior one has learnt to expect from that race. Mr. Mark Canton, an energetic person with a ready smile who, as I understand it, owes me a vast deal of money. Miss Lisa Henson -- a lovely girl, and Mr. Gareth Wigan -- a lovely boy. I attempted to converse with Mr. Sydney Pollack, but his charms and wisdom are so generally pleasing that it proved impossible to get within ten feet of him. The room was full of interesting activity until eleven P.M. when it emptied rather suddenly. The lateness of the hour is due therefore not to the dance, but to the waiting, in a long line for horseless vehicles of unconscionable size. The modern world has clearly done nothing for transport. P.S. Managed to avoid the hoyden Emily Tomkins who has purloined my creation and added things of her own. Nefarious creature." "With gratitude and apologies to Miss Austen, thank you.” ― Emma Thompson, The Sense and Sensibility Screenplay and Diaries: Bringing Jane Austen's Novel to Film
Thank you so much for this! :) I have a decent English but I still wasn't sure about a couple of things in the speech and this is a wonderful way to check. :)
Emma Thompson, it's such a beautiful moment when you know that words haven't been invented to describe her, Jane Austen would be proud. Such a beautiful human being.
That truly was the best speech ever!!! A truly remarkable intelligent woman giving us insight on the dynamics of Jane Austin. Truly incredible speech. love it!!
@@tsfbaf303 Actually there are different awards for different categories so if you want maybe write to the organisers of the Awards. I'm sure they will take you grlpe on board.
She deserved it. Thank god she won, so we could hear that amazing speech... she is incredible. Smart, beautiful, talented... I wish I could talk like that
For the 2014 Golden Globes as a presenter, she came out barefoot with a martini in one hand and her high heels in the other. She killed. I've always been madly in love with her.
This viewing was my discovery of this video but I fully intend to see it again. I have only seen her in one film, "Much Ado About Nothing", and I had NO idea how physically beautiful, intellectually brilliant, and full of old school British class that she is. I became instantly infatuated.
Ha, ha, ha!!! Very witty indeed. Our fair Emma, so steeped in Shakespeare and schooled in the anthology of British period writers, has risen to the occasion splendidly! The next speaker is going to have a formidable time trying to outshine this speech.
Emma is beautiful, brilliant, and comes accross as a real personality and a human being (which probably 95% of the actors in that room can't claim for themselves) - one of my favourite performers ever! Also love all the stuff from her comedian days (with stephen fry, hugh laurie)... or: watch her in "stranger than fiction" with Will Ferrell - genius!
horseless carriage of unconsciounable size.....the modern world has clearly done nothing for transport........neferious creaure!!!!!!!!SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
