Tilda Swinton at the OscarsTilda Swinton dedicated her Best Supporting Actress Oscar win to her agent, Brian Swardstrom.

The British actress collected the award for her work in Michael Clayton and on accepting the award said: “I have an American agent who is the spitting image of this [statue] - really, truly the same shaped head and, it has to be said, the buttocks.”

“And I’m giving this to him because there’s no way I would be in America at all.”

“So, Brian Swardstrom, I’m giving this to you.”

She also mentioned director Tony Gilroy, producers Jen Fox and Steve Samuels, and co-stars Sydney Pollack and George Clooney - mocking the latter for his earlier performance in his rubber suit (”with nipples”) in Batman & Robin.
