Speech
Martin: I'm fumbling. We would like to thank the Academy.
This award represents thousands of man-hours of delicate but nonetheless
backbreaking work of over a hundred of our colleagues and countrymen.
We thank them all. Thanks to Angus, who's beside me now, and was
beside me when we did everything. And to the extraordinary Baz Luhrmann
who has got us up here. Who cares as much about the embroidery detail
on a can-can skirt as he does about lens size or dialogue. It was
your vision, this is your Oscar, Baz.
Strathie: We would also like to thank the best wardrobe
supervisor I think anybody could hope for in Eliza Godman. The beautiful
pictures of Don McAlpine, thank you. To the marvelous hair and makeup
of Aldo, Maurizio and Lesley and their teams. Nevertheless, we'd
like to also thank the continual love and support of our family,
friends and loved ones. For me, the rewards of this film happened
well before tonight. I'll be eternally grateful for the joy given
by this girl [referring to Catherine Martin] and our Baz Luhrmann.
Thank you.
Additional Thanks
Strathie: Father - Harry Strathie, who passed away December
2001.
