Colin Firth accepting his Nastro d’Argento European award
“There are people we love, and places we love. I know I’m one of the luckiest people, after a long year of lockdown I now have the huge privilege of being able to work even though on this occasion my work took me far away.
But every once in a while something happens that closes that distance and this award, this gesture, that comes all the way from Rome, to me it represents a bond with a family that enriched my life and made me feel welcome ever since a quarter of a century ago now, and for that this is very touching to me.
It is hard to believe I now count my life in terms of centuries and perhaps that’s my cue to be shorter about this.
Obviously I’d rather be there in person; it’s difficult to get a taste of your food here, and I’d like to be able to see all your faces and hug all of you personally and I inted to do just that before another quarter of a century passes. But I’m so grateful for having been welcomed in this way, in that community, and being recognized for such a prestigious award.
Thank you so much, thanks to Laura del Colli and everyone present at the Ceremony, everyone in Rome and everyone in Italy. Good night.”
me, an aged monarch lounging on my fur-strewn throne, gesturing for my servant to bring me my monacle: Bring them here! Bring them here, I say. Let me look at them.
guards: *drag the unwitting blog before me*
me, peering intently at the new blog and poking them with my scepter: Is this a real person? Hmm? What have you to say for yourself? What are your fandoms? Your interests? Speak up, these old ears aren’t what they used to be.
guards, tentatively: they do seem to be a real person, sire. We found them in possession of several memes and a fandom rant.
me, subsiding back into my sumptuous furs and waving them away: most extraordinary. It has been an age since there was a real person, but just as well, the dungeons have been overflowing with those tacky pornbots. This newcomer may remain in my domain. Make them welcome. And fetch me a quill! I feel a ficlet coming on…
