Speech
Taylor: We have been on the most amazing journey together
due in part to the vision of Peter Jackson, the camaraderie of Barrie
Osborne, the incredible support of Mark Ordesky, the faces and bodies
of the actors who went through hours of makeup. My journey has been
made whole by the love of my partner Tania Rodger and the wonderful
genius of the small group of young New Zealanders that have gathered
around us to make this so possible. Thank you everyone for helping
us support this cause tonight. It's a lovely day. Thanks.
Owen: I just want to say I don't know why anyone gave me
the job in the first place. I'm still recovering from that. I got
an opportunity to go to the most beautiful country on earth, in
my opinion, work with a genuine fellowship of people and torture
a lot of actors. I can't thank the Academy enough for this. It's,
it's delirium. Thank you.
Additional Thanks
Owen: Caroline Turner, Peter King, Noriko Watanabe, Jessica Lalande,
Debbie Fitzpatrick, Elizabeth Pick, Tina French, Gail Taylor, Louise
Leonard, Jeremy Woodhead, Noreen Wilkie, Rick Findlater.
