Speech
Right... [pulls out written notes.] It's the concierge's card from
L'Ermitage. I'd like to thank the Academy and New Line. I'd like
to thank Mark Ordesky and Carla Fry. Peter Jackson, who is a sensational
person to work with. Fran Walsh and Barrie Osborne for giving me
the opportunity to work on an amazing project. I had the privilege
of working with a really sensational cast and terrific crews, predominantly
New Zealand. I want to send my love to my partner Bronwen and my
sons Jack and Sam who are probably still at school in Sydney. I
just want to say Australia and New Zealand are terrific places to
grow up, and great to work in and great to live in. And last of
all, I want to dedicate this to the late Brian Bansgrove, who was
the chief lighting technician on LORD OF THE RINGS, on the trilogy.
And Brian, this is for you. Thank you.
Additional Thanks
New Zealand D.P.s Al Guilford, John Cavill, Nigel Bluck, Simon Raby,
Alex Funke, Richard Bluck, Spotty, Harry, Dave Brown, Allan and
Shirley Lesnie.
