ROBERT BENTON:
There are a great many people to thank and not much time. I would like to thank Mr. John Malkovich, Miss Lindsay Crouse, Mr. Danny Glover, Mr. Ed Harris, Amy Madigan, Yankton Hatten, Gennie James. I would especially like to thank Miss Sally Field, without her genius and her courage I would not be standing here tonight. I owe a deep debt of gratitude to Carol Littleton, to Néstor Almendros, and most of all to Arlene Donovan. I would also like to thank Mr. Cohn, and to all the people at Tri-Star: David, Victor, Gary and Sydney Pollack. And to, mostly to my family here and in Waxahachie in Texas, and to the people of Waxahachie. Thank you very much.
