This is-- wow. Just wow. Of all the awards that I have ever received, this one is truly the most extraordinary. And so unexpected! Seriously, it's an honor just to be nominated. God, I have so many people to thank.
Of course, first I would like to thank Kara Thrace, for this incomparable honor. And the others Tonys, for being slightly less irritating so that I might shine by comparison. You did some amazing work this year, guys. I'm proud of each and every one of you. Excellent job.
I'd like to dedicate this award to the memory of Happy Hogan, who-- my team, for being there for me, and being annoyed by me. It was the Avengers who really put up with me while I was honing my craft, and without them, I might never have gotten here. A special thanks, as always, to Pepper Potts and James Rhodes, who couldn't make it tonight, but whose presence is sorely missed.
And of course, I would like to thank God. Because God gave me this gift. And I can feel God in this tower tonight.
