Anna Paquin

Paquin wins the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Piano at 11 years old. She is the second-youngest person to win an Oscar.

I’d like to thank the Academy for the honor of letting me be here today. I’d like to thank Jane, Jan and Holly for making this all possible. I’d like thank Eddie Campbell, Pat Quirke, and Beanie for taking such good care of me during the making of the film.
