    Does anyone know if there is a clip on YouTube, or somewhere else, that has Bradley Whitford's Emmy win for Supporting Actor for season two of WW? I would really like to see it. I found John Spencer's for season three on YouTube. Thanks!!

    I´ve been looking for it for a while now, but I couldn´t find it.

    The only thing that I can provide you is the transcript i did of what he said. It´s pretty accurate:

    "Uhmm... I work in The West Wing, so I´ve a really fast speech to say. Uhmm... I must dedicate this award to my beloved late father, George Whitford, and to my beloved very present mother, Jenaveve Whitford, thank you for my family... Aaron Sorkin, how does an actor thank a writer for the role of a life time? I have no idea, you gotta write that speech for me. Uhmm... Tommy, I wanna thank you and Tommy for pushing the most radical envelope there is: one of inteligence and wit and hope... This award is the result of looking into the eyes of Martin Sheen, John Spencer, Richard Schiff, Rob Lowe, Allison Janney, Stockard Channing, Dulé Hill and the utterly exquisite Janel Moloney. What a joy for us all to hit our strides, together. I wanna thank John Wells, Peter Ross (and four other people whose names I couldn´t catch). I wanna thank my children for their miraculous selves and for saving my wife and me from lives of terminal self-involvement (he laughs). And most of all, and I´ve waited to say this: I wanna thank my electric hilarious wife, Jane Kaczmarek. My love, you have brought such colour and laughter and sweet life to me. My heart is so full... of you. Thank you."

    Let me know if you come across that clip because I would really like to watch it!!

    Thanks for the transcript, it was so beautiful

    Was there ever any video clips for that Emmy Awards? I thought it was never televised because of 9/11. I think it got cancelled and rearranged and rearranged again and then the 3rd time they decided not to televise it...I think.

    No, I watched it on TV even here in Argentina, so I´m pretty sure it wasaired in the US as well, but I haven´t seen any clips...

    It is there on youtube, and I have to say I love the clip because he did a very nice job with his speech. It was genuine and real and a wornderful tribute to his family, This is the link to the video I found, so hopefully it should work
