Year: 1986 (59th) Academy Awards

Category: Documentary (Short Subject)

Presenter: Helena Bonham Carter, Matthew Broderick

VIVIENNE VERDON-ROE:
What a wonderful recognition of all the people who work so hard to stop nuclear war. Our country is only as good as we make it. In the United States last year ten thousand children died as a direct result of poverty. Not one person, not one human being on earth would need to suffer starvation if we used the resources every year of just four days of world military spending. Let's improve our efforts to care for each other. I proudly accept this award on the behalf of the women in my film and on behalf of all the courageous people, all of you who speak up for true security for our nation and for our world. Thank you so very, very much.
