DANE A. DAVIS:
Wow. So this is where the rabbit hole goes. I want to thank Larry and Andy Wachowski and Joel Silver, Zach Staenberg, and everybody at Warner Bros. for trusting me with such a terrific movie. It was a blast from start to finish. I want to thank our mixers, John, Gregg and Dave, and congratulations. I want to thank my terrific crew led by Julia Evershade, Eric Lindemann, and John Roesch. I thank my mother and father, my wife Francine, my sons Jeremy and Ryan for being there for me when I came back from being in the Matrix. This is a great honor. Thank you, everyone in the Academy. Thank you.
