RICHARD BARCLAY:
Well, getting an Oscar for the first time is quite a moment and I truly thank the Academy for that moment. On behalf of my two partners, Gaby Monet who did the scenario, Robert Deubel who directed the film, our editor Burt Rashby, the lyrics of Fred Ebb and the music of John Kander. A lot of love went into this project 'cause that's what surrounds Norman Rockwell, and to him my sincerest thanks.
