JAMES ACHESON:
Thank you, Academy. I'd like to firstly thank my assistant, Frank Gardiner, and the wonderful team of people that actually cut and sewed these costumes. I'd also like to thank the wonderful group of actresses that withstood the rigors of eighteenth century corsetry with such patience and good humor. I'd like to thank Norma Heyman and Hank Moonjean and Stephen Frears, the director. And I'd also like to thank Christopher Hampton who wrote the play and who wrote this wonderful screenplay that inspired us all. Thank you very much.
