ANTHONY POWELL:
Thank you for this greatest of all honors. I, too, would like to thank Roman Polanski for making it possible to be here tonight and for being such a wonderfully sympathetic director to work with. I'd also like to thank Claude Berri and Timothy Burrill, my producers, for being so totally supportive the whole time; thank you very much. I must also share this award with two people: Joanna Johnston, my assistant, and John Bright in London who made all the costumes because quite frankly they made just as much contribution to the look of this film as I did. Thank you very much.
