Hooper wins the Academy Award for Best Achievement in Directing for his historical drama The King’s Speech. Hilary Swank and Kathryn Bigelow present the award.

. . . my mum in 2007 was invited . . . in London to a fringe theater play reading of an unproduced, unrehearsed play called “The King’s Speech.” Now she’s never been invited to a play reading in her entire life before. She almost didn’t go because it didn’t sound exactly promising, but thank god she did because she came home, rang me up and said, “Tom, I think I found your next film.” So with this (holding up the Oscar) tonight, I honor you. And the moral of the story is: Listen to your mother.

I think I’m going to cook a lot. I don’t think I’m particularly good at it, but I’m going to inflict my cooking on anybody within range. I tend to find that’s a very good way to decompress. But I’ll probably be the only one eating it.

Black wins Grammy for Best Comedy Album for Stark Raving Black.

I was working in Peoria, Illinois when I found out that I won the Grammy and as usual whenever I win something I was stunned and surprised. I was most thrilled because it came on my dad’s ninety third birthday. I want to thank all of you out there who really made it possible for me to be even considered for this award. Your support of my work means more than you will ever know and I haven’t even got the words to express those feelings.
