00:00 I mean it's a little overwhelming for sure. I don't think it's properly sunk in yet for any of us.
00:07 It's kind of mind-blowing. I'm thrilled and a little shocked at the moment I suppose.
00:14 Ask me in a couple of hours, it might be better.
00:17 I'm a really proud Irishman. I have to say that. Of course I am.
00:22 And it means a lot to me to be Irish.
00:28 So I don't know what else to say. Should I sing a rebel song?
00:36 I'm thrilled. I think it's a great reflection on the state of cinema nowadays.
00:40 You know that this is a very complex, very challenging, three hour R-rated movie about a physicist
00:46 and about a very kind of dark period in our history and that people came to see it in huge numbers.
00:55 And people meet me on the street and say that they've seen the film five, six, seven times.
01:01 And boys and girls, men and women, young and old. And that's kind of staggering and very humbling.
01:07 But I think it's, like I said, a great reflection on the state of cinema.
01:10 And I think it's been a brilliant year for cinema as we saw I think tonight.
01:15 I just premiered a film in Berlin Film Festival last week, last Thursday, called Small Things Like These.
01:22 That will be the next thing that comes out.
01:25 Cool. Thanks guys.
01:31 OK. Another round of applause. Come on.
