the award for the best acceptance speech

i don't watch grey's anatomy (can't stand that lead woman) but i thought Chandra Wilson's acceptance speech at the screen actors guild award was lovely

And last but not least, just to be able to take this thing home to my girls, in particular, and hold it in front of them and say, “Look, with this skin and this nose, and this height, and these arms,” you know, “I’m here!”

i'd like to be able to say that to my kids (not after winning a SAG, of course - but just with regular folk stuff like waking up in the morning and knowing that your crooked smile and your lazy eye doesn't need to be changed for you to feel good about yourself).
