Winner: To Michelangelo Antonioni in recognition of his place as one of the cinema's master visual stylists. (accompanied on stage by his wife, Enrica Antonioni)

Presenter: Jack Nicholson

MRS. ENRICA ANTONIONI:
It is very beautiful to receive this award. And also very beautiful to receive all this love. And sometimes words are not needed because of this love. Michelangelo always went beyond words to meet silence, the mystery and the power of silence. But tonight I think he wants to say something.

MICHELANGELO ANTONIONI:
Grazie.

MRS. ENRICA ANTONIONI:
He says "grazie" -- thank you.
