Adriane Lenox, Doubt

Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Play

All right!  Thank you so much.  I guess less is more!  If you have seen the play you know what I am talking about.  Thank you so much all those who nominated and voted for me.  I really appreciate it.  It is just too much.  It has been quite a whirlwind for me, the past few years, and I thank everybody who has been praying for me and been in my corner.  John Patrick Shanley—genius!-- Doug Hughes, Cherry [Jones], the entire cast, Heather [Goldenhersh] and everybody, has been so wonderful, the stand-bys--that’s my crew while I am waiting  before I am on stage. My sisters are here!  Billy and Lena from Memphis, Tennessee.  Memphis is in the house!  My cousin, Rene, everybody, thank all so much for coming up here and being a part of this with me.  My husband, Zane Mark, and my daughter Crystal for putting up with me. I’m not going to do any more dishes!  I can’t hold this and wash dishes too!  Thank you so much. This is for my mother, she just made a transition this past April to the great city above.  I dedicate this to my agents, Leading Artists.  Everybody, thank you so much for your prayers.  Thank you, and goodnight.
