Winner: Tom Cross

TOM CROSS:
Wow. I want to thank the Academy for honoring "Whiplash" with this award. I couldn't have done this without the contributions of the entire cast and crew of "Whiplash," Blumhouse, Bold Films, Right of Way Films, our amazing team at Sony Pictures Classics, Michael Barker and Tom Bernard, and our team at WME. Also, my assistant editors John To and Eugene Lok, I couldn't have done it without you guys. Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons, I need to thank you for delivering gold to the cutting room every day. And most of all, I need to thank the person who never once threw a chair at my head but always pushed to make it better, the writer and director, Damien Chazelle. Damien, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this journey with me. I... I will forever be indebted to you; your art changed my life. And to Lah Cross and Jim Cross, my mother and father, and my beautiful wife Holly, and my children Nova and Peri, you made my life. Thank you so much.
