TAN DUN:
I prepared something exactly forty-five seconds. My music is to dream without boundaries. Tonight, with you, I see boundaries being crossed. As a classical music composer I'm thrilled to be honored here. "Crouching Tiger" bridged East and West, romance and action, high and low cultures. Thank you, Ang Lee, Yo-Yo Ma, Peter Gelb, Michael Gorfaine, James Schamus, Bill Kong. Thank you, Sony Classical, CAMI and G. Schirmer for their long support. Last, this is for two tigers in my family: my wife Jane, Ian, [my] son, both born in the year of tigers. Thank you, Academy.
