"Dreamgirls"

Acceptance Speech
Michael Minkler: There's no way I'm going to be able to do this by memory, so first of all, we congratulate Bill Condon, thank you so much. You crafted a film that was filled with dazzling performances, unforgettable songs from Henry Krieger, stylish effects from Richard Yawn, electrifying editing from Virginia Katz and some smokin' sound.

In the end, you thanked us for helping you make your dream; it's really the other way around. Bob, Willie and I are so honored by this award and we thank all of those who collaborated with us on the mix, and we extend our love and appreciation to those in our family who bring us harmony in our lives.

Willie Burton: I'd like to thank our producing team, our cast and crew, also my loving wife Jackie for her support, and mom, thank you. God bless you all.

Bob Beemer: I'd like to thank Cindy, Jessie, Amy, L.G. and the guys in the backroom.
