When Russell won his Oscar for "Gladiator" this March 2001 the look on his face was priceless. It was obvious he was utterly shocked and very surprised. "I didn't have any legs," he said afterwards and you can see by the pictures he was in a dreamland. He gave a wonderful and inspiring speech and spoke of his uncle and his grandfather as his own inspirations. You can see more pictures and read his complete speech on my Oscar page. Russell, your fans are so proud of you and we are so happy you won, we all know you truly deserve it.
Congratualations. |
