J. ROY HELLAND:
Thank you, Academy. And thank you to my colleague on "The Iron Lady," Mark Coulier, without whose brilliant prosthetics I wouldn't be standing here this evening. Thanks, Meryl, for keeping me employed for the last thirty-seven years. Your brilliance makes my work look good no matter what. I'm a child of the Saturday and Sunday double-double features, so getting to work in the movies is a dream come true. Thank you.

MARK COULIER:
I'd just like to say what an amazing experience. Thanks to Meryl, you were incredible. And just a quick thank you to Barrie Gower and Stephen Murphy. And my kids, Isabelle, Ethan, and my wife Amanda, and my dad. Thank you, guys.
