Speech
Annie Lennox: Wow. Wow. I'm stunned. Thank you so very much to the
Academy. I'd like to thank Peter Jackson so much for inviting me
to be part of this extraordinary project. Thank you so much, Peter.
It's amazing. Thank you. Fran, Howard, this is very moving for me.
You are extraordinary, very inspiring and I hope you enjoy the song
when I sang it tonight. Thank you. Simon, my wonderful manager,
Tara, my assistant, Joyce at home, I'd like to dedicate my performance
of the song to my mother, who passed away last year and also to
my darling friend Michael Kamen. I'll miss them so much. Thank you.
Fran Walsh: Can I do one thing? I just want to do one tiny thank
you. It's to Sharon and Reese Duncan, who are watching in New Zealand,
and their son. I know. More. But their son was an inspiration for
this song, and it's an honor to share it with him. Thank you.
