CHRIS JENKINS:
Thank you very much to the members of the Academy and to Universal. And a special debt of gratitude to Sydney Pollack for putting his trust in us when there are so many other talented people around. He shares his enthusiasm for sound and his special gift for it with us and I can't say enough about what he donated to this. So, thank you very much.

LARRY STENSVOLD:
I'd like to thank John Barry, Danny Wallin and Clif Kohlweck for such great music to work with. And I'd like to thank the Academy for such a wonderful honor. Thank you.

GARY ALEXANDER:
I'd like to thank everyone and Tommy McCarthy, Jr. And just thanks.

PETER HANDFORD:
I must thank the Academy for this wonderful honor and also Sydney Pollack for his patience in waiting for all those aircraft to stop and go away from the set. And for those marvelous actors who just said their words so I just had to sit back and listen. It was a pleasure. Thank you very much.
