ANJELICA HUSTON:
I'd like to thank the members of the Academy for honoring my fellow nominees and myself. This means a lot to me since it comes from a role in which I was directed by my father, and I know it means a lot to him. I'd also like to thank the entire cast and crew of "Prizzi's Honor;" I don't want to mention any names, you know who you are. And to my friends, for their love and support, and to my guardian angels, particularly Bruce Weintraub and my late teacher Miss Peggy Feury. Thank you.
