CHARLIE KAUFMAN:
Thanks to the Academy... 29 seconds... 27 seconds. That's really intimidating. I'll try to look somewhere else. There's so many people worked so creatively on this movie and so I feel like this award is for all of them. And most especially I want to thank Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey, and director Michel Gondry, and producers Anthony Bregman and Steve Golin. And I'm supposed to wrap up now. [Audience member yells something.] No, I don't want to take my time; I want to get off the stage. So, thank you. Hi to my daughter Anna.
