GARY A. RIZZO:
Oh my gosh, this is, this is unbelievable. Thank you. Thank you to all the Academy voters. Thank you to our family and our wonderful wives: Susan, Laura and Jennifer. We need to thank everybody at Warner Bros. post production, and we need to thank all the hardworking boom operators and utility sound people that worked on the production crew. Union, of course. We need to, you know, we really, we share this award with Lee Smith, with Richard King, with Michael Babcock, with Alex Gibson, Alan Meyerson, Hans Zimmer, and of course the mighty Christopher Nolan. Chris is the architect with this soundtrack in every way. He is the creative force behind every decision that we made and so this is as much of a win for him as it is for us. So congratulations, Chris. And thank you very much.
