DIANNE WIEST:
Gee, this isn't like I imagined what it would be in the bathtub. I first of all want to say how very proud I am to be nominated with four women whose work is so wonderful. And I'm still making a movie with Woody, my fourth movie with him, so I'm still working with the same people I worked with in "Hannah." The same crew, the same cameraman, the same designers. The same great cinematographer, Carlo Di Palma. The same producer, Bobby Greenhut. The same drivers. We're all there. And I think on behalf of all of us, and also on behalf of the actors, Maureen O'Sullivan, Lloyd Nolan, Barbara Hershey and beautiful Mia Farrow, thank you. My mom, my brothers, my family, and my dearest friend Sam Cohn. Thank you very much.
