After a beat, Parrish is on her feet and being pointed toward the stage. Camera pans crowd for various reaction shots including fellow nominees, catching a standing, clapping, beaming Daniel Segers in its sweep of the crowd, as Parrish takes the stage]

"Wow... just... wow, um, wow. Okay... first... [takes a breath] There are so many people I need to thank... [takes a breath and rushes] Black Label Media, Gilbert Films, Impostor Pictures, Marc Platt Productions, Summit Entertainment for all their support. Damian... Damian Damian Damian. I will never be able to thank you enough for your brilliance, for this epic picture you saw in your head and entrusted us to put into action. Justin, your score moved me, moves me, inspires me. Thank you for holding my hand through my fits of nerves and belief that I simply could not do it.

I would be remiss if I did not thank my partner in crime, the rock I could count on throughout this whole process, Brandon Rucco. You're an incredible talent, an incredible man, and I was made better, each and every day for watching you work and learning from you. My parents [Parrish chokes up] for always believing in me and supporting me, even when its seemed impossible. I thank God everyday for His blessing and for providing me with the strength necessary to perservere in this world. I want to thank the Academy for this incredible honor. Not only for this [holds out statue] but for the honor of even being considered one tenth as talented as the other women in this category, as the other women in film this season. There are so many women who crushed it, who poured their souls into their roles, who could have been one of five women honored tonight, who could be standing here in my place. Thank you, thank you so much. [nods to the audience and raises trophy up high]

[Parrish stutter steps as she turns to exit the stage. Just before music plays her off she gets off one last message.] Thank you. I love you! All! [triumphant fist pump of trophy again before exiting stage]
