Jackie Chan, the Chinese actor, has won an Oscar after many decades of devotion to the art but his Thank You note is everything that he has stood for; humility, dedication oozing out of every word, and a slight happy zing that we always and always associate with him and his movies.
This is the Thank You note of Jackie Chan:
Although my Oscars trip has come to an end, I’d like to take this opportunity to say a heartfelt “thank you” to Tom Hanks and Michelle Yeoh for their speeches at the ceremony; thanks to Chris Tucker for presenting me the award; thanks to all the judges; thanks to everyone who witnessed this special moment and also for your well wishes. I’m already back in Beijing and working on the set! To me, the moment I receive any honorary award becomes a moment in the past. In the future, I will continue to strive and do my best, and make more good movies for everyone to enjoy! Once again, big big “thank you” to you all!
