Well, this is really incredible. I'd like to thank a terrific team of incredibly talented collaborators who made an enormous contribution to this. I'd especially like to thank Bob Zemeckis for his brilliant direction. It was his vision, his patience and his huge talent that made "Roger" happen. And he made this happen [holding up the Oscar]. Thank you very much. Thank you, Bob.
