Lifetime Achievement Award – Sam Mendes

“The Guild likes the idea of being bold enough to recognise formidable achievement in a body of work, no matter the age of the individual"

Due to filming Jarhead in Mexico, Sam Mendes is unable to attend the event. An excerpt from his acceptance video message (transcript) reads as follows:

I feel extremely grateful to the Directors Guild – I’m very surprised. I feel very undeserving. There are many more deserving directors, probably a lot of the people sitting in this room! I feel the award is a bank loan, which I’ll take out and pay back by the end of 20 years, and by then I’ll feel more deserving. I don’t feel deserving. I feel extremely lucky to have done all this work at such a young age. I’d like to say thank you to all the people that have helped me. I feel like I’ve stood on pairs of shoulders over the last 20-25 years, of writers, designers, cinematographers, costume designers, make up artists – and in particular, actors. Kevin Spacey and Simon Russell Beale have been part of my favourite projects. Most of all I’d like to say thank you to the directors who have influenced me while I was young in theatre. Peter Brook, Peter Stein, Luke Bondy, Deborah Warner, Nick Hytner. I’d like to say thank you for all the support I received when I first started out in theatre. Terry Hands; Richard Eyre; the associate director at the Donmar, David Levaux; John Crowley; Michael Grandage – who is now of course artistic director at the Donmar, I enjoy the society of other directors, and I think it was Max Stafford Clark who likened being a director to being an alcoholic – you never know other people are going through the same experience until you meet and work with them.

It gives me great pride and joy to say I’m Sam Mendes, and I’m a director.
