Nick Park and Steve Box
"Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit" |
Acceptance Speech
Nick: Oh. Actually, we've got a little thing, just to match the old bow ties for coordination. We just happened to bring them along, just in case. Just want to give a great big thank you to Helena Bonham Carter, and particularly to Peter Sallis who has been the voice of Wallace. He's here tonight, ladies and gentlemen at the Oscars. He's been the voice of Wallace for the last 23 years and you've been an absolute gem, Peter and you've sparkled all the way. Also, thank you to Jeffrey Katzenberg and to Dreamworks, who also sparkle, and have been a great support to this very personal film of ours. And the whole crew back in Bristol, England at Aardman Animations thank you so much you're great. And a little message from Steve.
Steve: Somebody once said if you make a bad film, you make it alone. If you make a great film, everybody made it with you. We all made it together, guys.
Steve & Nick: Cracking cheese, Gromit.
