JOHN LASSETER:
Oh this is great. Joey, we did it. We'd like to thank the Academy for this great honor because this is the first time this award has gone to a computer-animated film. We'd like to share this with the computer graphics community the world around. But the computers didn't create the films, people did. And we'd like to thank those people at Pixar.

WILLIAM REEVES:
Firstly, Eben Ostby, who should be on stage with us tonight.

JOHN LASSETER:
Great job, Eben.

WILLIAM REEVES:
Ralph Guggenheim, Craig Good, Deirdre Warin, Susan Anderson, just everybody else, the management—
