RANDY THOM:
Thank you so much. Certain Academy Awards, like Sound and Visual Effects and Editing, are sometimes referred to as technical awards. They are not technical awards; they're given for artistic decisions. Sometimes we make them better than others, and I guess we made a couple of good ones on this one. Thank you so much, Brad Bird and Skywalker Sound. Lisa and Austin, this is for you.

MICHAEL SILVERS:
I'd like to share this with my superheroes, the sound editing crew. And Lois, Rebecca, Emma and Bonnie, I love you. Thank you, everybody.
