BEST ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
I don't know about you, but I'm having one hell of a month!
We won the Norwegian Emmy, Bruce Springsteen inducted me into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and now this wonderful honor in one of my favorite cities in the world!
I say we visit the casino on the way out of town, what do you say baby? I'm on a roll!
Yeah my wife's grabbing her coat, not yet honey we should stay a while.
First of all I've got to thank Maureen for putting up with me being in Norway 5 months a year.
I just couldn't resist the adventure of working in a foreign country's domestic show. It was just such a weird idea.
And who had that weird idea were the creators Eilif Skodvin and Anne Bjornstad. Thank you for the brilliant writing year after year and trusting me with your baby.
Thank you Norway for treating me like one of your own and especially those magical people of Lillehammer who never complain no matter how we disrupt their lives.
Thank you Rubicon, NRK, and Netflix.
And the wonderful cast Marian, Trond, and the great crew.
There have been two times in my life I was so profoundly affected by a performance I couldn't leave the theater. I just sat there stunned by the greatness.
One was a movie called Raging Bull.
The other was the greatest Broadway performance I have ever seen. It was a show called Amadeus and the star was Ian McKellan.
So being mentioned in the same lifetime as him...proves the wonderful fucking absurdity of life..
Thank you Ian and the other nominees, Patrick, Gilbert, Brendan, for bringing such joy and inspiration to so many people with your good work.
Thank you Monsignor (Prince Albert) for being such a wonderful host. And the coolest royalty I know. And thank you everyone who voted.
Thank you Jimmy Gandolfini for welcoming me with grace and support into a new craft you were already so perfect in.
And finally, thank you David Chase for calling me out of the blue to be in his new show called Sopranos. And when I said this is all very nice David but I'm not an actor, he said oh yes you are.
You know he just may have been onto something!
Thank you.
BEST INTERNATIONAL COMEDY SERIES
A quick shout out to our wonderful fellow nominees, the Moodies, Les Parent, Modern Family, Kaboul Kitchen, Mrs. Brown's Boys, Viscious, and Episodes.
I was fortunate enough to witness the birth of our new golden age of television with my first family HBO and the Sopranos.
Now with Netflix we are seeing the next evolution of this Golden Era.
By Netflix choosing Lilyhammer as their first original content they were branding the Network as International, Adventurous, and Courageous.
They were saying now is the time not just for international distribution but for international content to finally be accessible!
Lilyhammer is the first foreign language show ever to be broadcast by a major American network in it's original form.
This hopefully opens the gate for all of our brother and sister content creators around the world to have their work enjoyed by the world's biggest market for the first time.
So let's hope Lilyhammer represents the first of all the great international content that deserves to be celebrated.
I salute you Netflix for having the balls to make history. And I'm betting you've got the balls to keep us going for a fourth and fifth. season!
This show is worth fighting for. Let's keep it alive!
