He said- "This could be a dream,". "I might wake up. Maybe not. Not for a while, anyway."
Once onstage, He took a fun and lively victory lap, thanking his parents, colleagues, agent and his wife and daughters.
"Thank you dad and mom for turning me on to such a groovy profession," a clearly pleased he said in accepting the award. Bridges spoke about how his father, the late actor Lloyd Bridges, used to sit him on a bed and teach him the basics of acting.
His mother Dorothy Bridges was the good actress.

He said-"This is honoring them as much as it is me"
Asked later by PEOPLE what the Oscar means to him, Bridges replied: "Sharing this with all the people who mean the most to me, my director and other actors and all my cast members and directors I've worked with that I haven't seen in years. I saw Walter Mirisch, who gave me my first job, so that was kind of cool."
Backstage, he clutched his Oscar in one hand and in the other a glass of champagne.
Pfeiffer said-"It is that kind of attention to detail and lack of vanity that has made Bridges not just a great actor, but a brilliant one."
