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.

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.
