Portman walked away with the best actress award for her role in “Black Swan” at Critics Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Friday. The teary-eyed star thanked her parents, Avner and Shelley Hershlag during her acceptance speech.
“If I am a shadow as good a parent, an echo, then I will be the best in the world, so thank you,” she said. She also credited “Black Swan” director Darren Aronofsky for introducing her to her fiance, choreographer Benjamin Millepied. I have to thank you (Aronofsky) for this incredibly fulfilling experience. You made me very skinny, and now you’re indirectly responsible for getting me fat. You introduced me to my love, Benjamin Millepied, who also choreographed the film, and I am so incredible grateful for that most special of gifts,” she added.
