The 76th Annual Academy Awards

Billy Crystal:
It was 13 years ago when I first hosted the Academy Awards, and things sure have changed since then. George Bush was President, the economy was tanking, and we had just finished a war with Iraq. Yeah, things really have changed.

Andrew Stanton:
"Finding Nemo" would have never been possible if it wasn't for the extraordinary filmmaking environment created at Pixar Animation Studios by John Lasseter, Ed Catmull and Steve Jobs. And I am going to be forever grateful to the entire cast and crew of "Nemo" for the giving of their incomparable talents to this little fish story that I had; in particular, my producer Graham Walters and my co-director Lee Unkrich, who should be up here with me right now accepting this. Thanks to Dick Cook and his incredible distribution team at Disney. Thanks to the Academy, to my loving parents, to my adoring children. And to my wife Julie, I wrote it to you in a note in eighth grade and now I can say it in front of a billion people - I love you.

Billy Crystal:
I voted for 'Seabiscuit' (for Best Costume Design). That's the most realistic horse costume I've ever seen.

Billy Crystal:
All of the hobbits' wardrobe is now for sale at The House of DeVito, if anyone is interested.

Billy Crystal:
It's now official. There is no one left to thank in New Zealand.

Robin Williams:
[grabs Billy Crystal's hand] Hey, look at us. A San Francisco wedding cake.

Sandra Bullock:
John, do you know which was the first movie to feature sound?

John Travolta:
It was Al Jolson's "The Jazz Singer" in 1927. First movie to feature sound and dialogue.

Sandra Bullock:
And how do you know that?

John Travolta:
Well, you would also know, if you had come to the rehearsal.

Himself - Winner:
Best Director/Co-Winner: Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture: This is just unbelievable. I'm so honored, touched and relieved that the Academy and the members of the Academy that have supported us have seen past the trolls and the wizards and the hobbits and are recognizing fantasy this year. Fantasy is an F-word that hopefully the five second delay won't do anything with. I just want to say a very few quick words especially to the people of New Zealand and the government of New Zealand and the city councils and everybody who supported us the length and breadth of the country - Billy Crystal is welcome to come and make a film in New Zealand any time he wants. A special thanks to Peter Nelson and Ken Kamins, who were with me right from the days of "Bad Taste" and "Meet the Feebles," which were wisely overlooked by the Academy at that time. And I especially want to pay tribute to our wonderful producer Barrie Osborne. And I'd please like him to say a few words.

Barrie Osborne:
It's a great honor to be here. I started out in the business thirty-five years ago getting people coffee. And I wonder if the fact that I dated Billy Crystal's cousin so many years ago has anything to do with this. But it is really a great pleasure to be in such great company - uh-oh, I'm in trouble now - to be nominated with these four other great films, and after these many years to receive this award is really a thrill for all of us and we all thank the Academy. It's really a tribute to the talents of all the people, both in front of the camera and behind the camera, that we win this award. I want to thank in particular my partner Carol, my beautiful daughter Danielle, and my eighty-seven-year-old dad who's out there in the back somewhere here to celebrate this with us. I want to thank also J.R.R. Tolkien, and also the fans that supported us on this journey. And of course Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne, whose courageous venture allowed us to make this film and their support throughout the journey. And Mark Ordesky, who worked alongside of us throughout and became a great friend. And of course to Peter Jackson, who was never satisfied with 100 percent, but by his example of pushing for 110 percent, he inspired all of us to do our utmost to make these films and bring them to the screen. And finally, to Weta, who is in Chicago [Sports Caf?] in Wellington, New Zealand, and to the production team, who are in the Port Nicholson Yacht Club - it's time to celebrate.

Billy Crystal:
Do you know that people are now moving to New Zealand just to be thanked?

Billy Crystal:
...and when I say funny, I mean threatening to my career.

Billy Crystal:
Our next presenter (Charlize Theron) is nominated for her role of a hiking, serial killing prostitute. Great, just what we need.

Denise Robert:
[after getting an award for Best Foreign Language Film] We're so thankful that "Lord of the Rings" did not qualify in this category. We'd like to thank the Academy. We'd like to thank the co-producer Fabienne Vonier, Victor Louis, the Canadian, French and Quebec governments for their support of the film industry. Thank you, Agnes Mentre and Miramax. Thank you, Harvey Weinstein, for putting your heart behind this film and shining the light on this. We'd really like to share this with you, and share it with the actors and the technicians who worked so well on this film.

Himself - Winner:
Best Foreign Language Film and Nominated: Best Original Screenplay: My time's up, as usual.

Daniel Louis:
Thank you, everyone. Merci beaucoup ? tout le monde.

Francis Ford Coppola:
Sofia, I always wanted you to be part of the family business.

Billy Crystal:
Good news, they found Nemo. The bad news is, they found him in one of Wolfgang Puck's puff pastries.

Billy Crystal:
The Passion of the Christ opened up on Ash Wednesday, had a Good Friday.

Billy Crystal:
Now that everyone in New Zealand has been thanked, I'd like to thank everyone on Long Island.

Billy Crystal:
["reading" Sean Connery's mind] P*ssy Galore? I just got it! That's vulgar!

Billy Crystal:
And there's Johnny Depp, the sexiest man alive. Did I just say that out loud? You know Johnny's nominated for playing Jack Valenti's worst nightmare - a slightly gay pirate.

Gandalf the White:
All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you.

Billy Crystal:
And this from a guy in a nine-hour movie.

Billy Crystal:
[reading Julia Roberts' Mind] Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Hate me because I'm rich.

Billy Crystal:
[reading Oprah Winfrey's Mind] You wanna talk about rich honey?

Billy Crystal:
[Reading Sean Penn's Mind] This is a nice place, I don't think I've ever been thrown out of here...

Himself - Winner:
Best Actor in a Supporting Role: Oh boy! Wow. Thank you so much, members of the Academy. This is really a lovely, lovely honor. I'd like to thank my fellow nominees, who are all spectacular, and I want to work with all of you in a movie at some point. Dennis Lehane, Brian Helgeland for the writing of this amazing script. Clint Eastwood, you're so great. You're such an amazing director. And you're making my mantel very crowded. Thank you. It's due to you, sir.

The Actors' Gang in "Embedded" in New York, thank you so much for putting up with me being here. And I would like to say one more thing. In this movie I play a victim of abuse and violence, and if you are out there and are a person that has had that tragedy befall you, there is no shame and no weakness in seeking help and counseling. It is sometimes the strongest thing that you can do to stop the cycle of violence. Thank you.

Himself - Winner:

I'm standing here because of so many people, and I would like to thank them now if I could. Charles Frazier, thank you for your masterpiece and the gift of "Ruby." I have to thank the producers, cast and crew of "Cold Mountain." I'll never forget it, never, because of you. Especially Jude and Nicole. Such a privilege to go to work every day with you. Such a privilege, my friends, thank you. Anthony Minghella, you are brilliant and I care so much for you. Thank you for all that you taught me, for making me be better and for your friendship.

I love you. This is for you. Thank you.

Himself - Winner:
Best Live Action Short: Oh man, this is amazing. Billy Crystal, I'll bet you don't remember recommending film school to a twenty-year-old kid wondering what to do with his life about eighteen years ago. Thank you for that. Thank you to the Academy. I'd like to thank our cast: Jonathan Furr, his parents David and Janet, Ben Allison, Ron Perlman, David Andrews and the rest of our cast. Our crew: Kate Miller, Betsy Pollock, Bob Ducsay, David Boyd, C. Robert Holloway, Kelly Matsumoto, Alonzo Wilson, the amazingly generous Alan Silvestri - Joe Roth, for a ten second grace period on the speech clock, please - Craig and Lisa Mae Fincannon, Scott Gershin, Melissa Hofmann, Stanley Johnston, Rebecca Clark and the NCSA School of Filmmaking.

It's the story of two brothers who fight to preserve their family and country. Like a sibling's love, a soldier's devotion is selfless and unconditional and need not concern itself with the politics of war. I dedicate this to my family and the soldiers who protect our loved ones and the freedoms we celebrate. Thank you.

Himself - Winner:
Best Animated Short: Wow. "Harvie Krumpet" has been a film that's been in my head for over ten years and I'm so glad he's out.

"Harvie" will be screening on SBS television next Monday night at 9 pm. We'd also like to congratulate our fantastic cast and crew, especially our uncle Geoffrey Rush for lending us his most beautiful voice. Finally, we'd like to thank two very, very special people: my friend Juliet and my beautiful boyfriend Dan. Thank you.

Herself - Winner:
Best Documentary Short: Thank you. This is an amazing honor. I feel you're also honoring the people of Chernobyl who are suffering the effects of radiation still, eighteen years later after the world's worst accident at the reactor. I could not have made this film without Adi Roche. She's up there. She heads the Chernobyl Children's Project and they are saving lives every day. Adi is a true hero. Sheila Nevins from HBO has been a wonderful mentor and she's an amazing woman and I wouldn't be standing here without her. It's not easy to stand here. Dr. William Novick also saves the lives of children in Belarus and all over the world with the International Children's Heart Foundation. Angie Kenny is also here. She's my friend and worked on the film and I want to thank her. I want to thank John Custodio, Rogelio Velasco. I want to thank my mother - who's here with me tonight, she's smiling back there - for everything. My father, who's home in Pearl River, for being there for me. All my brothers and sisters - I have a big family, I won't name them all - but they're all here and I love them all and I thank them for their support. Thank you very much.

Himself - Winner:
Best Documentary Feature: This thing is heavy. I'd like to thank the Academy for finally recognizing my films. Thank you so very, very, very much! I thought it would never happen! I'd like to thank my very good friends at Sony Pictures Classics: Michael Barker, Tom Bernard. No one would get to see this movie without them. My two producers: Michael Williams, Julie Ahlberg. Couldn't have made the movie without them either. My long suffering editors: Charlie Silver, Brad Fuller, and Karen Schmeer and Doug Abel. Thank you also very, very much. And believe it or not, Robert McNamara, with whom, if he hadn't done it there would have been no film. Forty years ago this country went down a rabbit hole in Vietnam and millions died. I fear we're going down a rabbit hole once again. And if people can stop and think and reflect on some of the ideas and issues in this movie, perhaps I've done some damn good here! Thank you very, very much.

Himself - Winner:
Best Original Score and Best Original Song: It's incredible. Just breathe a bit. Many thanks to the Academy. I'd like to share this Oscar with all of the amazing musicians and great vocal artists who played on this piece. Special note to Annie Lennox, Renee Fleming, Sir James Galway, Ben del Maestro.

Simon, my wonderful manager, Tara, my assistant, Joyce at home. I'd like to dedicate my performance of the song to my mother who passed away last year, and also to my darling friend Michael Kamen.

Himself - Winner:

Also, I'd like to thank Pat Murray my gaffer, and Chris Centrella my key grip. Ann Murtha and Larry Mirisch. And to Duncan Henderson, who steered the ship some of the time. He was a great, great person to work with. And most of all to Peter Weir, who provided extraordinary inspiration to all of us to give of our best. And to my family, Sandy and my boys. Thank you very much.

Herself - Winner:
Best Adapted Screenplay: We grew up loving these books, we had no idea that we were gonna go gray trying to make them into movies. And we have so many people that we need to thank, but the first person we absolutely must thank is Professor J.R.R. Tolkien. Without him we wouldn't be standing here. I want to thank my parents, John and Jane Boyens, who gave me those books to read. My wonderful brother David, my sister Nicki, my beautiful children Calum and Phoebe. And Ken Kamins, Barrie Osborne, Howard Shore, thank you so much for everything that you've done for us. Most of all I want to thank these two people standing behind me.

Himself - Winner:
Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay: Thank you. Thank you, New Line Cinema, Mark Ordesky, especially, for all your script support along the way. And we want to say hi to our kids Billy and Katie for putting up so much with Mum and Dad working on this film all their lives, because they're only seven and eight years old. And I especially just lastly want to thank our wonderful cast who just got their tongues around this rather awkward text and made it come to life with such emotion and passion and heart. So thank you very, very much.

Herself - Presenter:
Best Adapted Screenplay/Winner: Best Original Screenplay/Nominated: Best Director and Best Picture: Thank you. I can't believe I'm standing here. Thank you. Thank you to the Academy for giving me this honor. Thank you to my dad for everything he taught me. Thank you to my brother Roman and all my friends who were there for me when I was stuck at twelve pages and encouraged me to keep writing. And the filmmakers whose movies - I have to breathe. The filmmakers whose movies inspired me when I was writing this script: Antonioni and Wong Kar-Wai and Bob Fosse and Godard and all the others. And every writer needs a muse; mine was Bill Murray. Thanks to my mom for always encouraging us to try to make art. And thank you to Bart and Ross for helping make my script into a movie. And thank you to everyone at Focus. Thank you.

Himself - Winner:
Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay: Wow. Thank you so much to the Academy. You're giving us an incredibly overwhelming night and we just appreciate it so much. Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne, God, you did the most risky thing that I think anyone has ever done in this industry and I'm so happy for you that it paid off. Your collaboration and your partnership and your support just gave me the most incredible working experience of my life. To Barrie Osborne, our producer. Thank you so much, Barrie, for just being there every day and supporting us. To a wonderful cast, a wonderful crew in New Zealand, everybody that made my working days so enjoyable. It was just there when I needed it to be there and the actors were just doing such a wonderful job. I just want to thank two very special people that when I was eight years old I made films at home on a Super-8 camera that my mum and dad had bought for me. And they supported me all through the years. And they died in the last few years; they didn't see these films made. So for Bill and Joan, thank you.

Herself - Winner:
Best Actress: This has been such an incredible year. I can't believe this. I don't have a lot of time. I have to thank my incredible director Patty Jenkins. Thank you, thank you, thank you. All of our producers, Brad, Clark, Meagan, Mark, Donald, Sammy Lee, everybody at Media 8, Bob and everybody at Newmarket, thank you so much for working so hard on this film. My incredible, incredible leading lady Christina Ricci, who I couldn't have done this film without. You are truly the unsung hero of this film.

And I have to thank my incredible partner in crime. You're one hell of a partner to have. Thank you so much for standing by me. And my mom. You've sacrificed so much for me to be able to live here and make my dreams come true and there are no words to describe how much I love you. And I'm not gonna cry. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Himself - Winner:
Best Actor in a Leading Role: Thank you. If there's one thing that actors know - other than that there weren't any WMDs - it's that there is no such thing as "best" in acting. And that's proven by these great actors that I was nominated with, as well as the Giamattis, Cages, Downey Jrs., Nicholsons, etc., that were not nominated. We know how great all of you were. My daughter Dylan and son Hopper find it presumptuous and embarrassing to write a speech, and so I'm gonna give it a go without. God, I really thank Clint Eastwood professionally and humanly for coming into my life. The great, great cast that I had to work with, my friends. Where do you go? Dennis Lehane, Brian Helgeland. Ma. Dad. Robin, for being an undying emotional inspiration on this roller coaster I'm learning to enjoy. Thank you all very much.
