GENE HACKMAN:
Thank you very much. Quick thanks to David Valdes, our producer, David Peoples, our writer. Oh, boy. All the wonderful actors, Richard Harris, Morgan Freeman, Frances Fisher, and especially to Clint, who kind of made it all possible for me and for everyone else in the film. It was a wonderful experience. I'd like to dedicate my part of this evening to my uncle Orin Hackman. He was a wonderful guy. Thank you very much.
