• Clint Eastwood - Winner: Best Picture, Best Director & Nominee: Best Actor in a Leading Role : Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. I'd like to thank my wife, who is my best pal, down here. And my mother, who was here with me in 1993. She was only eighty-four then. But she's here with me again tonight. So, at ninety-six, I'm thanking her for her genes. It was a wonderful adventure. To make a picture in thirty-seven days it takes a well-oiled machine. And that well-oiled machine is a crew - the cast, of course, you've met a lot of them, but there's still Margo and Anthony and Michael and Mike and Jay and everybody else who was so fabulous in this cast. And the crew: Campanelli and Billy Coe and, of course, Tom Stern, who is fantastic. And Henry Bumstead, the great Henry Bumstead, who is the head of our crack geriatrics team. And Henry and Jack Taylor and Dick Goddard, all those guys. And Walt and everybody. I can't think of everybody now; I'm beginning to get a blank - but, Warren

  Clint Eastwood - Winner: Best Picture, Best Director & Nominee: Best Actor in a Leading Role : , you were right. And thank you for your confidence earlier in the evening. I'm just lucky to be here. Lucky to be still working. And I watched Sidney Lumet out there, who is eighty, and I figure, I'm just a kid. I've got a lot of stuff to do yet. So thank you all very much. Appreciate it.

• Clint Eastwood - Winner: Best Picture, Best Director & Nominee: Best Actor in a Leading Role : Albert S. Ruddy was the one who gave us this script. And I came here in 1972, was it? It was '72, to give him the Oscar for "The Godfather". So, I'm glad to be back with him tonight.

  Albert S. Ruddy - Winner: Best Picture : Actually, this is the third award ceremony we've gotten to in this category, and tonight we won. And I would tell you every time I started going to this thing, I'd say, "I'm going to enjoy myself whether I win or lose." But believe me, as Arnold said, it's better to win! I love it. Thank you, everybody. Now, this is a great honor that celebrates the talent of Hilary Swank, Morgan Freeman and the genius of Clint Eastwood. Now, one other quick - I want to thank Anjelica Huston, who introduced me to F.X. Toole, and Paul Haggis for writing a brilliant screenplay. The only thing left for me to do in my life now is thank my wife, who believed when I was worried; my two great children. I'm going to sit down and get a piece of lemon pie with the real filling, I'm going to look at this, and then I'm going to die and go to heaven. Thank you.
