BRIGITTE BERMAN:
Thank you very much, members of the Academy, for this great honor. And thank you, Artie, for trusting me with your life story and for so many years of just such incredible inspiring music. There are a lot of people I'd like to thank. My associate producer Don Haig, without whom I never could have made the film. I'm especially pleased that it's a Canadian film about a great American artist that has been honored this way. Thank you, everybody who helped me, the Canada Council, the Interior Arts Council, Nick Laidlaw, Telefilm Canada, just everybody who worked on it. Thank you very, very much.
