Acting Award Acceptance Speech Thank You

I saw an actress win an award at the Tony awards recently, and included in the people she thanked were the other actresses nominated for the same award. And with my silly, twisted mind, I couldn't help but think that she could have said it like this: "I'd also like to thank all of the other nominees, because if you hadn't all been noticeably so much worse than me, I never would have won this award."
