ONSTAGE
"Oh, gosh. I asked my kids, "What should I say?" They said, "Thank all the men for wearing penguin suits." They gave me a lucky coin, a lucky penguin, but my real good luck was to work with hundreds and hundreds of amazing people, that wonderful cast, great artists, computer wizards, studios that were passionate, people who cut trailers, dubbed the movie, got it into the theaters. And on their behalf, I thank the Academy for this. Thank you."
