On behalf of all the fans I’d like to congratulate Mr Bardem for his well deserved Academy Award win for his performance in “No Country for Old Men”.

Here is Javier’s very funny speech. You can also view it here.

Wow. Alright, this is very amazing. It’s a great honor for me to have this. I want to and I have to speak fast here, man. Thank you to the Coens for being crazy enough to think that I could do that and put one of the most horrible haircuts in history over my head.

Thank you for really proving my work. I want to share this with the cast, with the great Tommy Lee Jones, with the great Josh Brolin, with the great Kelly Macdonald. And I want to dedicate this to my mother, and I have to say this in Spanish, and I’m sorry…

Mama esto es para ti. Esto es para tus abuelos, para tus padres, Rafael y Matilde. Esto es para los comicos de Espana que han traido la dignidad y el orgullo a nuestro oficio.

Esto es para Espana. Y esto es para todos vosotros.

Thank you very much!
