I can’t believe I am still standing here. It is a dream. A long time ago, every year when I watched Oscar with my Dad, my dad always said, “Son, you get so many movie awards around the world, when are you going to get one of these?” Then I just look at my dad, HAHAHA, “Dad I am only make comedy action movies”
Many years later, I came to Hollywood, meeting some big studio, director, friends’ house, Stallon’s house. There was 23 years ago, I see this little thing in his house. I touched it, and kissed it and smelled it. I believe it still had my fingerprints in. Keep it. Then I talked to myself, “I really want one.”
I want to thank you, Hong Kong, incredible city, my hometown, my hood, who make me. China, my country, proud to be Chinese. Thank you Hollywood, for all those years teach me so many things, and also made me a little bit famous, and I thank you, my family my wife Joanne, my son Jaycee. And special Jackie Chen stunt team and this year it’s Jackie Chen stunt team 40-year anniversary.
And all the friends, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart, and ladies and gentlemen, and also distinguished guests, and Academy of Motion Picture Art and Science: thank you, thank you, thank you and I want to thank you, who should I thank you, I forget. I still have some dialogue, I forget what I should say. I don’t know. I just,… it’s honor to be here. It’s my honor, thank you.
Last not least, millions of thanks to my friends, fans around the world because of you I have a reason to continue to make movies, jump out of window, kicking and punching, breaking my bone, thank you so much, thank you Oscar. Thank you!
