Speech
Stone the crows. I'd like to thank the Academy for this wonderful
honor. Making IRIS was the most joyful, wonderful experience and
for that, much thanks to Intermedia, to BBC films and to Miramax
for getting behind it and putting it out. And above all to Richard
Eyre for writing a wonderful script with Charles Wood, for directing
with skill, intelligence, humor and great talent, and for putting
together a wonderful cast for us to work with, with Hugh Bonneville
as the younger me and Kate Winslet and the special Judi Dench who
I had a lot to do with. I'd like to thank John Bayley who allowed
us to plunder and I'm sure misrepresent his life with Iris. And
above all, I'd like to thank my wife Anastasia for coming with me
on this long and rather unpredictable journey. And good luck MOULIN
ROUGE.
Additional Thanks
Robert Fox and Scott Rudin (producers).
