""This is amazing. What are we doing here? This is mad," red-haired Glen Hansard said, standing next to "Once" co-winner Marketa Irglova. "We made this film two years ago, we shot on two Handycams, it took us three weeks to make, we made it for $100,000, we never thought we'd come into a room and be in front of you people. ... Make art! Make art!"
