Acceptance Speech Transcription
- "I found it very inspiring, Natalie and Ben. If I could use as few words on a set on a film like Slumdog and get away with it, I wish I could. I wish I could. Fantastic. I could thank thousands of people. I can't do it. I, of course, have to thank the Academy. I'm very honored with this beautiful thing. Everybody who has worked with me on this film, all over this room, especially in this little corner here, the blue corner. And all the people that've worked on all the films I've done for the last 20 years, they're with me tonight. I'll try and thank you every day from now on. That's my policy."—Anthony Dod MantleOfficial Site: Oscars
