DAVID S. WARD:
Thank you. There are a lot of people to thank for this. I think the Academy has thanked most of them for me with their nominations. So I would like to thank all the people who've gone to and supported "The Sting," and all the people who support movies in general, because without them none of us would be here. Thank you.
