Paul Gross's Acceptance Speech:
I would like to thank the writers of the Gemini Award show for thinking
to include me in this part here. I would like to thank the crew that we work
with who are all without exception remarkable from top to bottom in every
department. I would like to thank CBS and CTV and Alliance for making the
show, and ah, oh dear, I have to thank Paul Haggis for being clinically
insane. The entire writing team, but I really only am entitled to one-third
of this. A third of it should go to David Marciano, and one-third of it goes
to Lincoln, who plays Diefenbaker, and a [applause] and, finally, finally
I'd like to thank my family for their patience and their love, and Thank
You!"
