GEORGE ROY HILL:
Thank you all very much. I'd like to thank the members of the Academy. I also have a bit of advice for my fellow directors, and that's next time out get a script by David Ward; get a cameraman like the great Bob Surtees; get Marion Dougherty to do your casting for you that might include a Bob Shaw; and pull in a couple of ringers like Newman and Redford. And it helps, believe me. Thank you very much.
