She said, “This is really something. I am inspired by your art and your heart, and I want to work with every single one of you.” She then moved on to thank her family, mentioning that they were all at the ceremony because “Ireland bought them flights”. “Mom, Dad, thank you for teaching us to dream and to never be defined by expectation but to care about your own passion,” she said, looking up at the balcony, trying to place her family.
She had specific thank-you notes for her husband Freddie Sorensen and a mention for their eight-month-old daughter. To Sorensen, who was moved to tears, she said, “I love you, man. I love you. You’re the most incredible dad. You’re my best friend, and I want to have 20,000 more babies with you.” Mentioning her baby, she added, “She has no idea what’s going on and is probably dreaming of milk, but her mother winning an Oscar is kind of a big deal.”
