"And the award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for Film goes to....Cooper Draven for One Nation" The camera focused on Cooper Draven, who jumped up, kissed Cassie hard, mouthed an "i love you" and jumped onto the stage, receiving his statue and kissing it before standing in front of the podium, drinking in the applause from the gathered crowd before rubbing his eyes slightly, some tears beginning to form in his eyes. After a roaring laugh he leaned into the microphone. "Laura, Noel, Miles. If you're still awake, Auntie Billie's still taking you to school tomorrow." A mix of awwws and laughter at Cooper's mention of his kids makes him pause. First of,I'd like to thank Cassie Draven, who told me that Leo Harrison was gonna win, so don't bother writing a speech." The crowd laughs before Cooper gets a bit more serious, still smiling like a kid in Christmas morning. "It really means a lot to me to be standing up here, because it really took a village to get here. The boys and girls in the crew, who braved the D.C. weather, thank you. I wanna thank Nicholas Bradshaw, and the magic that comes out of his laptop. Abby and Malcolm Marr, who pushed me to the limit, and made me a much better actor and made this story such a real, beautiful, touching story. I can't express enough how much a story about how a man can go and make his wildest dreams come true relates to me so much right now. You, the audience, have made a man's dreams come true. Thank you, every single person who voted, whether for Leo, Tristan, Dale, or myself, because everyone deserves to have an opinion and to have their voice heard. I want to thank my family, my wife Cassie, my three beautiful babies, Noel, Laura, and Miles, my sister Billie. Thank you so, so much. I...damn...I don't even know what to say. Thank you." Cooped jumped around a few times, clutching and kissing his statue before walking off the stage.
