KEN RALSTON:
Thank you very much. This is very special. I'd like to thank the Academy. This award really represents the work of hundreds of people in England and in America to put this show together, brilliantly directed by Bob Zemeckis. And I'd also like to thank some of the artists at Industrial Light & Magic: Scott Farrar, Steve Gawley, Steve Starkey, Wes Takahashi, Brad Jerrell, and Bill Kimberlin, and my wife Robin. And this award also, for all of us I believe, is special because it also should be in honor of all the animators and directors, like Tex Avery, from the golden age of animation who inspired "Roger Rabbit." Thank you.
