There needs to be no further conversation about what it's like to realize a dream when it comes to Brad Pitt. Yeah, he's a great actor, a great humanitarian, a great talent, but what you should know is that he was all that long before last night. A real testament to working hard and making a dream come true. I couldn't be happier for him and his family. Make no mistake however there was no monkey on his back. This was bound to happen because of the kind person that he is.
I wanted all of you to know how proud I am of him and that an award will never change the heart inside this guy.
Congratulations, Moneyballs, I knew you could do it.
And then there was this:
Elton and Bernie won their first Academy Award last night in a fitting tribute to the life of Elton John (And Bernie Taupin). These are truly Rocketmen. Nothing better than to see two old friends being recognized for making this world a more beautiful place with their music. I'm always indebted to Elton (and David Furnish) and Bernie around Oscar time because of their efforts with the Elton John AIDS Foundation. I probably wouldn't be alive today without the commitment to Ryan White and fighting this disease. I was thinking about Ryan just today and what he went through long before I was brave enough to talk about having this disease. You know how proud he would be today of this accomplishment.
Thanks for everything Elton, David, and Bernie...I owe you my life. I only hope to be as happy as you are with Christopher.
Kevin and Christopher
