Spielberg wins his second Academy Award for Best Achievement in Directing for his World War II drama Saving Private Ryan. Kevin Costner presents the award.
Let me just turn my eyes to Mr. Hanks who from the very, very beginning said to me, this is going to be something extraordinary. We weren’t really talking about the film, we were talking about the experience of making “Saving Private Ryan,” and he was right.
Wins Oscar
Producers Steven Spielberg, Gerald R. Molen and Branko Lustig win the Academy Award for Best Picture of 1993 for Schindler’s List. Harrison Ford presents the award. Lustig:
My number was 83317. I am a Holocaust survivor. It’s a long way from Auschwitz to this stage.

Spielberg wins the Academy Award for Best Directing in the World War II biographical drama Schindler’s List. Clint Eastwood presents the award.
Let me just start by saying that this never could have happened, this never could have gotten started without a survivor named Poldek Pfefferberg who Oskar Schindler saved from Auschwitz, from Belsen. He’s the man who talked Thomas Keneally into writing the book. I owe him such a debt. All of us owe him such a debt. He has carried the story of Oskar Schindler to all of us. A man of complete obscurity who makes us wish and hope for Oskar Schindlers in all of our lives.

Eastwood wins the Academy Award for Best Directing for his western Unforgiven. Barbra Streisand presents the award.
It wasn’t a highly tout(ed) film when it came out, but they (the film critics) sort of stayed with it throughout the year. The French film critics who embraced some of my work very early in the game, the British Film Institute, the Museum of Modern Art are some of the people that were there long before I ever became fashionable.

Thompson wins the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her portrayal of Margaret Schlegel in James Ivory’s Howard’s End. Anthony Hopkins presents the award.
Ladies and gentlemen, I really don’t know how to thank the Academy, not only for this [referring to the Oscar], but also for this view. Because it’s overwhelming to see so many faces who’ve entertained and influenced me and thrilled me all my life, and it just takes my breath away . . . . And finally I would like, if I may, to dedicate this Oscar to the heroism and the courage of women, and to hope that it inspires the creation of more true screen heroines to represent them. Thank you so much.

Pacino wins Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance in Scent of a Woman (1992). Presented by Jodie Foster at the 65th Academy Awards at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion in Los Angeles, Pacino:
I want to thank Tom Pollock and Casey Silver at Universal Pictures, and my agent Rick Nicita who urged me to do this part and actually threatened me if I didn’t do it, ’cause I didn’t want to do the part for some reason . . . . Now, recently a young girl came up to me. I was at a function for the South Bronx, which is where I’m from. And she said that I had encouraged her, and that’s not necessarily by my work but just by the fact that we came from the same place. And I just can’t forget that girl, and I can’t forget the kids out there who may be thinking tonight that if he can do it, I can do it. So this is really a proud and hopeful moment for me, because I want to thank the Academy for giving us a gift of encouragement. And this is a gift, a great gift to me. I thank you all, really. Thank you.

Hopkins makes the win for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his portrayal of cannibal serial killer Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs (1991).
I want to say hello to my mother. She’s in Wales watching this on television with Eve and Jean and Jill and Tony. My father died eleven years ago tonight, so maybe he had something to do with this as well, I don’t know. But I want to say thank you to the Academy for your tremendous generosity. To my friend Bob Palmer, my friend and publicist. My dear, beloved wife Jenni. And I have many people to thank here in Los Angeles who over the years have given me tremendous support, without whose help I wouldn’t be here, I know. And I am greatly honored and tremendously moved. And I—God bless you all. Thank you very much.

I’d like to thank the Academy. I’ve been waiting a long time to say that . . . .

I’d like to thank William Goldman for bringing the wonderful, crazy “Annie Wilkes” to the screen and Stephen King for thinking of her in the first place . . . . I would like to say thank you. Thank you very much.

This is great. Thank you, the Academy, and thank you, everybody who’s wished me well, for this . . . . if I may cut the call of a telephone to London where my wife is trying to keep awake in a hotel bedroom, I wish you were here to help me carry this because you helped me win it. Thank you all.

Stone wins the Academy Award for Best Directing for his biopic of Vietnam Veteran Ron Kovic in Born on the Fourth of July. Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro present the award.
My deepest thanks for your acknowledgment that Vietnam is not over, although some people say it is. But that Vietnam is a state of mind that continues all over the world for as long as men in his [sic] quest for power interfere in the affairs of other men.
