19 years ago...

he was stuck in traffic from the Golden Globes.

He said to his best friend, Greg,

[ As Wiseau ] "Golden Globes? So what, I'm not invited.

I know they don't want me, guy with accent, long hair,

So I show them. I don't wait for Hollywood.

I make my own movie." [ Laughter ]

[ Normal voice ] I'm very happy

to share this moment with him today.

Thank you, the Hollywood Foreign Press,

for all your support over the years.

Also Steve, Daniel, Hugh, Ansel. You're all my brothers.

You know that. Thank you.

This was billed as a movie about the best --

the making of the best worst movie ever made,

but, in fact, it's a story of friendship.

This year, I've learned from all my friends and collaborators.

My longest friend in entertainment, Seth Rogen --

known him since "Freaks and Geeks."

Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Vince Jolivette,

thank you so much. Alex McAtee.

You all taught me to be a better director,

a more responsible person. Thank you.

A24, you had me since "Spring Break."

New Line, Good Universe, thank you for all your love.

[ Soft music plays ] Finally, my brother.

When I went to NYU,

I always said I wanted my own Coen Brother,

someone to collaborate with.

I realized this year, I had my own Franco Brother.

[ Laughter ] I love him more than anything.

Thanks to my mother for giving him to me.
