RÉGIS WARGNIER:
Well, you made my day. This is something. This is Hollywood. Eric produced "Indochine" and I directed it. I've been a moviegoer since the age of ten, so tonight I want to thank first my friends of Sony Classics -- Marcie, Tom and Michael -- and especially the heroes of my youth, I mean Richard Widmark, Gregory Peck, Dorothy Malone, Linda Darnell, Stewart Granger, and so many, because they made me dream that maybe someday I would be a moviemaker.
