Daniel Kwan, Daniel Scheinert and Jonathan Wang, Producers
JONATHAN WANG: This is incredible. There is no movie without our brilliant and bighearted cast and crew, but not just these beautiful souls here, also, up there and in Little Tokyo. We see you. So this award, it's ours. I really it is intimidating speaking up here. Let me just tell you that. I never thought I would get to say this, so I will say it with one voice with all these people, "Thank you to the Academy." A24, thank you so much. You saw our weirdness and supported us for a year theatrically. That is incredible. Thank you. To my brilliant and beautiful wife, Ani. If all this shiny stuff and tuxedos go away, I would just love to do laundry and taxes with you for the rest of my life. But this is for my dad who like so many immigrant parents died young. And he's so proud of me not because of this, but because we made this movie with what he taught me to do, which is no person is no more important than profits. And no one is more important than anyone else. And these weirdos right here supported me in doing that.
(Foreign language) memory eternal.
Daniel, I don't know what to say, I love you guys. You just won Best Picture.
DANIEL KWAN: We've said enough tonight. I just want to say, thank you so much, everyone. You have all inspired me. I think one of the things that I realized growing up was one of the best things we can do for each other is shelter each other from the chaos of this crazy world we live in. Thank you, the storytellers here that did that for me. The world is changing rapidly and I fear that our stories are not keeping pace. And sometimes it's a little scary knowing that movies move at the rate of years and the world on the Internet is moving at the rate of milliseconds, but I have great faith in our stories. These stories have changed my life. And they have done that for generations. And I know that we will get through this. Have a great night guys. Thank you so much.
DANIEL SCHEINERT: Thank you. Everyone have a good night. Thank you for watching.
