CHRISTOPHER ROUSE:
Forty-eight years ago, my father was privileged enough to receive an Oscar and I'm deeply, deeply honored that you've put me in his company tonight. To the brilliant Paul Greengrass, to Frank Marshall, thank you, thank you, thank you. To everybody in post-production, led by my good friend and colleague Mark Fitzgerald. Each and every one of you share in this award with me. To Universal Pictures, to the Academy, my deepest, deepest thanks. To the amazing Matt Damon, thank you. And to my family, especially Anne, Anno, Ava and Fiona, my kids, I love you. Thank you so, so much.
