It would please me very much if everyone that made a creative contribution to "Cocoon" would stand here with me in spirit, because they deserve to be here. And to them I give my deep, deep thanks. To all you members of the Academy, this esteemed gentleman here [the Oscar] says that you have given to me your recognition; you've given to me your love; you have given to me, and I hope I have earned, your respect. For all these, I am deeply grateful. Thank you.
