First, huge deserved congratulations. Second, by all means show off the funniness, because it isn't something very many people have, and while I think it can be honed, I do think it's one of those TALENT thingies you mentioned earlier. Third, the reflexive batting down of compliments and evil-eye-averting ptooey ptooey-ing of accolades isn't just a WASP thing, because I do it too. And it annoys people, because they want to celebrate the things we minimize and slough off in company. Since it takes so much luck and grit to get any traction in this business, we should stop aiding inertia monsters and societal forces to which we're largely invisible anyway. Go, Betsy!
Congratulations!! What I love about your winning is that it means so many other women can feel seen, too!! Betsy did it!! (BTW - I was rejected a few years ago) Who doesn't in some way identify with what you described? Bravo for not giving up EVER‼️ I am so thrilled for you 🎉👏🥰‼️‼️‼️‼️
Betsy, You've been a professional in the Film Industry as long as I've known you... and an Educator! And a filmmaker!! And now a Screenwriter. Take it all in - you're a maker, a creator, a role model!!

Thanks Carrie! I think being unable to take compliments is probably a woman thing most of all.
Sigh. 100% agree. Take all the compliments!
Congratulations, Betsy!!! This honor is so well deserved!!!
Thanks Lisa!
