Clip 5 - Roy's Acceptance Speech

After his initial attempts at English, Roy falls into French:

"... as we say in Quebec, this is the icing on the cake (literally, the cherry on the sundae) It was for me a pleasure to make this film. It was a source of pride. I'm proud of the film, I'm proud of the people I worked with, I'm proud of the way it was made and for that everyone can be proud to win this."

Clip 6 - Acceptance Speech - Part 2

He gets extremely tongue-tied, reverts back to English, and attempts to say a special thank-you to his co-star Rosa Zacharie whom he forgot to thank at the Jutras. Roy addressing a big crowd - in English - on national television - without a script - this is something he still has to work on!

Note Céline's look of concentration as she wills him through his ordeal.

There are also a number of post show photos available here.
