MONSTERS, INC.
"If I Didn't Have You"
Music and Lyric by Randy Newman

Speech
Thank you. I don't want your pity. I want to thank first of all the music branch for giving me so many chances to be humiliated over the years. I have nothing, I'm absolutely astounded that I've won for this, though the picture deserves recognition. They made four pictures in a row that were good, and Peter Weir did that once but I can't remember another instance exactly. All four of the Pixar Disney movies were good.

[To the musicians in the orchestra pit]: Wait. Are you really going to play in four seconds? Don't play, it's been so long.

I have something... I would like to thank Milos Forman and Barry Levinson... [laughs].

No, I'm very grateful. I would like to thank John Lasseter, Pete Docter, all these musicians [referring to the orchestra] many of whom have worked for me a number of times and may not again. Walking out here and having someone this beautiful [referring to presenter Jennifer Lopez] give me an award, I'll never get to heaven but that's as close as you get I think. Thanks very much. I'm thrilled.

Additional Thanks

Cathy Kerr and Mike Gorfaine, both of whom have been with me the whole way.
