MEL GIBSON:
We've only got forty-five seconds and I don't want to hog the limelight from these two gentlemen who really deserve the statue. Thank you again, all those people I thanked before. And I owe a special debt of gratitude to Bruce here, and Alan. Take it away, fellas.
BRUCE DAVEY:
I'd like to endorse all those remarks and people that Mel thanked, and I'd also like to thank those that inspired and supported me along the way and I truly am indebted. In particular to Nigel Sinclair, Steve McEveety, Ed Limato and Jeff Berg. And to you, Mel, I thank you for the opportunities that you have given me, for your encouragement, loyalty, and friendship. And to Joe, Stuart* and Jane, thanks for your tolerance and patience and love. Thank you.

I'd just like to say thank you very much to my family. Thank you very much.
