BRADLEY COOPER: Wow, thank you so much. We have so much gratitude from our Screen Actors Guild and AFTRA to be a part of this night, and to be also acknowledged alongside of the other incredible ensembles that are here in this room tonight. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it. [applause] And throughout all this year in film; what a strong year in film.

We couldn’t have made this movie without the support of Amy Pascal, Michael Lynton, Sony, and Annapurna, Megan Ellison, Matt Budman, all the producers, Jon Gordon, Chuck Roven and Richard Suckle.

But, I just want to say one thing, so often we’re lucky enough to even get a job. And, often our anticipation, our excitement, supersedes the experience. Because you walk on the set and you’re excited, you have one day, and you’re lucky if the director talks to you, when they tell you to hit your mark. And then you’re gone and it’s over and you thought, “Wow, I was kind of better in my mind.” But not with David O. Russell. Not with David O. Russell. Even if you get a chance to audition for him – and everybody who has, knows it – he’ll spend 45 minutes on a Skype session with you. He makes you feel like you are part of the family, whether you’re Robert De Niro or you’re Patty Meck, you are part of the family.

He is an actors’ director. That notion is tossed around; he is the embodiment of it. He’s the reason why all of us wanted to become actors when we were children, because he loves it. It’s not out of any sort of charity, it’s because he demands. Much is asked of us, [applause] and if we deliver, much is returned. Thank you, David, this award is for you. Thank you. [applause]

MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY: Yeah! Oh, this feels good. Thank you. Thank you!

I mean, coming from SAG-AFTRA members. I mean, I’ve been, you know, been doing this 22 years. We know what this thing is we get to do. And when it works and when it doesn’t work so well. Thank you.

To the nominees, not just in this category, but so many – there were so many fierce performances this year! [applause] I mean, the choices and the characters that so many people have made, it really shines a great light on this – this – this bull ride that we take called “acting.”

I mean, I’ve been able to recently find some characters that I could humble myself to their humanities, and then get feverishly drunk on their obsessions. And that’s really been fun for me.

“Dallas Buyers Club,” Ron Woodroof. We got an important story about an important time in America and the world, people who had HIV, how were they dealt with, how is it dealt with now. It’s still very relevant.

You’ve got Ron Woodroof, a guy had the clearest obsession of all! “I’m obsessed to stay alive.” He was. Given 30 days to live, he goes on and lives seven more years.

There’s a magic spot – we all know it is – there’s a magic place that we, as actors, can get or at least strive to get to. And you know we always don’t get there. But, boy, when we touch it, it’s magic. When you’re seeing the character from the inside out, when you’re walking out every day and everything you see, smell and touch and observe is coming through that character into you, and it’s making sense, and you’re the subject, you’re the “I,” you’re first-person seeing it through that character’s eyes. That doesn’t always happen.

But, boy, when it does, and it feels like they could put a blindfold you on you and put you in a spaceship and take you to Neptune, and you could hop off on the planet. And they’d better have the sprockets rolling when you get off that spaceship, because you are going to behave as your man. THAT is a glorious feeling! [applause]

There’s a man I met 20 years ago. He escaped Russia, and was not even a carpenter: built a 17-foot boat and sailed across the Atlantic. For decades, he held the world record for smallest-vessel-single-man-sailed across the Atlantic. He told me this. He said: “A genius can be anybody he wants to, but the genius is always one person at a time.”

So, that, I say, that’s what we get to do, isn’t it? Be one man, one woman, one human at a time. When we do it well, let’s keep doing that, just keep living. [applause]

CATE BLANCHETT: Bob De Niro, I didn’t recognize you. Thank you so much. I was in such a state down there, kissed by Rita Moreno and Robert De Niro, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts – this is extraordinary, thank you. I’ve been away from the film industry for a long time making theater – 29 seconds? Matthew McConaughey spoke about Neptune and I think… [laughter] I think five seconds…

Making theater work in Australia, a work of which I’ve been extremely proud. But I haven’t made a film for a long time. So thank you so much to SAG-AFTRA for welcoming me back in this way, I appreciate. For those who voted for me, I thank you. And for those who didn’t, better luck next year. [laughter]

It’s impossible for an actor to cobble together a performance without other actors to work with, without words, without someone to help you modulate your performance, without the costumes, without the lights. So I have to thank Javier and for Will who kept the thing in focus. For Suzy Benzinger who made the – please wrap up, yes, okay, I’m on Mars at the moment. [laughter]

For getting the costumes together on a dollar ninety-nine. For Santo, for the extraordinary spaces in which we worked. And for Woody, for writing role after role after role for women, and then giving them the space to create them. And thank you so much, Woody. [applause]

And to the remarkable cast, theater animals to a man. I’m so grateful to have worked with such an incredible supporting – supportive, generous ensemble. And Sally [Hawkins], I’m very lonely up here without her, this is half yours, the penis part. [laughter]

And, finally – I am going to wrap up – but I have been married for 17 years. I have been with my agent for 17 years, and I’ve been with my publicist for 17 years. And, perhaps, Hilda, Andrew, my darling, I wouldn’t be up here without you. And to Lisa Castella. Perhaps, in a way, those relationships are my biggest achievement.

Thank you so very much. [applause]

JARED LETO: Oh my God, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you so much to this wonderful tribe of dreamers. SAG/AFTRA, I’m so honored by you today.

I’d like to dedicate this very special, special, special honor to all of the people who have lost their lives as a result of this dreadful disease. To the people out there around the world who are living with HIV/AIDS.

I’d like to share it with the “Rayons” of the world, the people who have made a choice to live their lives not as others would have them live it, but as they have chosen to dream it. I’m so proud that I’ve been able to glimpse the world through your eyes.

To my fellow and far more talented nominees, I’m so honored to share this adventure with you, especially to the late and great James Gandolfini. [applause]

And last but not least, to my mother who is here, the hottest date in town. [laughter] I just want to say thank you for giving me such a shining and wonderful example of the possibilities of life. For showing me the power of dreams and for being the best mother in the entire world. I love you.

And, to Focus and CAA and Untitled and Slate, you guys are amazing. Matthew, “All right, all right, all right, baby.” [laughter]

Thank you. [applause]

LUPITA NYONG’O: [laughs] Yay! Being recognized by fellow actors is an honor of the highest order. And I want to thank all of you so much. I’m… [laughs] first of all, I want to thank the man without whom this would not have been possible at all, Solomon Northup, thank you so much for a life well lived and a story hard to tell, but told so well.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Steve McQueen. [applause] Thank you for taking a flashlight and shining it underneath the floorboards of this nation and reminding us a what it is we stand on. You are love personified. I want to thank Fox Searchlight, New Regency, Plan B, River Road, for making this film possible. I also want to thank my fellow actors, the ones in the film, of course, who embraced me from the very beginning, and I can now call my friends.

I also want to thank my alma mater, Yale School of Drama, for the amazing training. [applause] I want to thank John Ridley for the indelible words. Patty Norris, thank you for literally making me walk in someone else’s shoes. And Kalaadevi, thank you for making Patsey’s scars so, so real to me. And I want to thank Michael Buster and Beth McGuire for helping me find Patsey’s voice. And Faith Simpson for helping me find her heart.

And I also want to thank my family who have kept it real. My dad, I called him, he was the first person I called when I got this role. And I said to him, “Daddy, do you know Brad Pitt? I’m going to be in a movie with him.” [laughter] And he said, “I don’t know him personally, but I’m glad you got a job.” [laughter] So am I! So am I. Thank you. [applause]

BRYAN CRANSTON: Forty-five seconds. Thank you, Sharon Bialy and Sherry Thomas, our casting directors – terrific job. Thank you to every actor who has ever graced our stage and brought their talents to our stages and lives in New Mexico.

Look at this! We have the nicest bunch of white supremacist Nazis I have ever worked with. [laughter] I swear to you, I would kill you all over again, I really would. [laughter]

We would like to just thank our creator, Vince Gilligan… [applause] You know, he’s not the God, but he’s a god in our mind. He wrote a beautiful story for us to tell. We are at the mercy of your words. We are humbled by your talent. And thank you so much to the Screen Actors Guild, so much – oh my God! What a way to go out in style!

Thank you, Sony, and thank you, AMC! “Breaking Bad”! [applause] Thank you!

JULIE BOWEN: Thank you. We’re gonna make Sofia talk because America loves her and her boobs. [laughter]

SOFIA VERGARA: [laughs] No respect. Anyways, this means so much to us because it’s given from you our fellow actors, and because it’s so mind-blowing that – because we respect all of you as the other nominees, and because I can barely speak English. [laughter}

But we have to thank, of course, our amazing creators, and the writers that work so hard to make us sound funny. To our whole crew that make us look so pretty. To ABC/Fox for making us feel so comfortable. To our incredible—[Julie whispers in her ear] My boobs. [Julie laughs] No… To Jeff, our costume director. To everybody that makes “Modern Family,” and of course, to our fans that make – let us have the best job in the world.

Thank you so much. SAG, we’re going to party now. [applause]

BRYAN CRANSTON: Oh! [applause continues] [sing-song] “I won a SAG Award!” [spoken]

You know how things are strange? A week ago I was at a banquet and I saw out of the corner of my eye Emma Thompson coming over, fighting her way through tables and looking over here. And I thought, “Oh my God, that’s Emma Thompson. That’s Emma Thompson.”

And she was looking my way and I thought, “Who’s she…?” And she came up to me, and I lost it. I didn’t know what to say. That’s what happens when you’re so lucky! I’ve had so many crappy jobs in my life, [laughter] I gotta tell you. I loaded trucks downtown: cold, dust, dirt everywhere, every orifice, people yelling at you, [yelling] “Cranston! Move faster! Work harder!” And the only thing that got me through is imagining, dreaming that one day I could actually make a living as an actor, and that’s what got me through. Thank God! [applause]

We are the luckiest people in the world who could say, “I am an actor.” Thank God to all my cast mates here. And, of course, Vince Gilligan, I owe you everything. I love you, honey. Thank you so much. [applause]

JAMES MARSDEN: Maggie Smith couldn’t be here this evening, so we’re happy to accept the Actor on her behalf. [applause]

TY BURRELL: Gosh, thank you to anybody in the union that voted for me. This is amazing. I know most of you out here tonight have read my book, Acting: How To Do It Good, [laughter] but I thought maybe for some of the younger actors out there watching TV, I would just go back over my five simple steps for success. [laughter]

Number one: Be born into a family that’s never had an actor in it. That way they think that everything you do is cooler than it actually is. Thus giving you a false sense of confidence. [laughter]

Number two: Use that false sense of confidence to wound and trap a spouse who was better than you, and is willing to overlook the fact that you have no apparent skill set other than being a needy extrovert. [laughter]

Number three: Have no skill set other than being a needy extrovert. [laughter]

Number four: Use that lack of skill to fail over and over and over again until you stumble into a job written by Chris Lloyd, Steve Levitan and our entire writing staff. [applause] Also at that job, make sure your co-workers are the cast of “Modern Family.”

And number five: Have a knack for memorizing. [laughter] Thank you very much. Thank you.

JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS: Oh my goodness. Thank you so much. I’d like to begin by… [clears throat] Sorry. I’d like to begin by thanking the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press for this glorious Golden Globe. [laughter] What? [Matt Walsh signals to Julia] Oh, I’m just – Oh, I’m so sorry. Yes. [laughter] Oh, I got it.

You know, it’s – thank you again. It is important to understand that it is truly an honor just to be nominated for an Academy Award. And… [laughter] No, that didn’t happen. That didn’t happen. Do… do you have a thing for the – do you have something for SAG?

MATT WALSH: For – oh yeah, I do. Sorry. It’s – sorry.

LOUIS-DREYFUS: It’s hard, you know, because it’s award season and things get confusing much like a l—[laughter] elections.

WALSH: Got it. [offers sandwich]

LOUIS-DREYFUS: There we go.

WALSH: Got it, got it, got it.

LOUIS-DREYFUS: Got it. Okay. Thank you.

WALSH: This is not it.

LOUIS –DREYFUS: That’s – you don’t have anything?

WALSH: I didn’t think you’d win. [laughter]

LOUIS-DREYFUS: Okay. Yeah. I’d like to thank HBO, Armando Iannucci, our producers, our writers, the wonderful crew in Baltimore, my agent, my family and… I don’t know, some of the cast I suppose. [laughter] Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it. [laughter]

Thanks. [applause]

MICHAEL DOUGLAS: Thank you. Thank you very much. You know, everybody talks how precious it is to get nominated or win by your fellow actors in both AFTRA and SAG, and particularly for me, I’ve got a 97-year-old-member of SAG back at home… [applause] who I know is particularly proud of me getting this award. But I want to thank all of you out here tonight for helping me get out of his shadow, for a little bit. [applause]

To Jeremy, Al, Rob, who’s part of our cast, and all the great performances that were done, and different casts tonight. But as you know, this has become a little bittersweet because my partner in crime who in earlier awards have spoken about, you know, who’s on top, who’s on bottom, [laughter] two-handers - but Matt, I want to be serious right now.

Now, I know we’ve gone head to head, but… [laughter] the truth is, and you know, I am not here without Matt Damon. Matt Damon… [applause] had the courage to stand by early on – this is part when I was sick and we had to wait for another year – Matt was there. So, it’s really the joy of acting, and Matt, this is yours, too, you know that.

Thank you all. Thanks very much. Thank you. [applause]

HELEN MIRREN: Goodness me, this – I am unprepared. Elisabeth was so extraordinary and Elisabeth… [applauds Elisabeth Moss] from me. [applause] Anyway, I love this little guy, he’s so sexy, isn’t he? You know, sort of naked, but not quite. And quite exciting. [laughter] [laughs] I don’t feel at all saggy, I feel quite perky, actually, [laughs] winning this [laughter] – after all.

I’m thrilled. Thank you so much. I had the incredible advantage of acting with a person that you all know, you all love, you all respect, I believe, beyond any other actor, and that’s Al Pacino. [applause] And to work with Al and watch him close hand was just an incredible lesson for me. We can always learn all the time.

Thank you David Mamet, thank you, HBO and everything. And thank you very much. [applause]
