DARIO MARIANELLI:
Well, that was a very long walk, it felt like. I feel like I'm a very lucky man. Thank you very much, Academy. I'm very lucky because I was part of a fantastic group of people that made a fantastic film. I think it's called "movie" because it's a very moving film. And I'm really grateful, above all, to Joe Wright, the director, to have included me in this fantastic group of gifted people. I'm very grateful to my good friends for supporting me through lots of things through these years, and my family, who I love very much, my girls. And my father and my mother, thank you for passing on a very deep and strong love of music. Thank you.----------------------------------
