Cavalcade of the Academy Awards1940

[last lines]

Commentator - as Oscar statuette:
And so ends 1939's Academy Awards dinner. And so comes 1940. From my vantage point here in Hollywood, I can see my seventy thousand workers - your workers, Mr. And Mrs. Audience - planning, scheming, hoping that next year I may shimmer shiningly in their hand. Which is as it should be because, while they get the Oscars, you, Mr. and Mrs. Audience, get better and better pictures.
