It's the closest I'll ever come to an Oscar.*

..and the best part of the whole show. Except for Jerry Seinfeld's short bit, which was really funny.

Through my work, I have met scientists who struggle every day to find cures for diseases. They do so quietly -- without glamour or attention, but always with passion and conviction. I have met school teachers who are battling against insurmountable odds, and yet they never stop trying to reach our children. To me, they are the real heroes, and tonight I share this honor with all of them.

I left the school teacher part in especially for my sister.
