Thank you Tony! It is wonderful to have you here today.
Distinguished members of the DIScademy, as we prepare for Saturdays awards and big announcement, I wanted to recognize some videos and contestants who do not fit our categories, but who made contributions as well.
To that end, I've selected several videos to receive a special award. I am honored today to welcome a major star to present our first award.
Ladies and Gentlemen... Reese Witherspoon!
[applause]
REESE: Thanks Fleagle, I'm sorry I can't post myself, but I've heard that the moderators don't like that.
[mild laughter]
FLEAGLE: Ha, ha... so true. Reese, I noticed you've changed your hair color.. do people still recognize you?
REESE: Of course.. after all, I'm still "Legally Blonde"
[groans]
REESE: who writes this stuff? [awkward pause] In any case, I'm happy to present the first chairman's award. This particular entrant proved to us that sometimes you can create smiles just with your own name. This contestant was full of energy and would have made an outstanding CMO, having made the Chairman laugh as soon as she introduced herself.
