The 70th Annual Academy Awards (1998) - Michael Ford as Self - Co-Winner: Best Art Direction

Peter Lamont - Winner: Best Art Direction : Oh my dear God. I'm sort of speechless. One wants this to happen, of course, but I've been so close quite a few times but never actually won. I've got to get my wits about me. I don't write speeches because I'm always so superstitious. I want to thank my wife, my family for all of their support and nourishment. Jim, thank you so much for the chance to do it. And the musicians who I know so well, and so many other people but I have so little time. I want to thank Michael Gorfaine, Jim Henrikson, but Michael Gorfaine especially. You've been around so long and I cannot thank you enough. Thanks, everybody.

Michael Ford - Winner: Best Art Direction-Set Decoration : It's only once in a lifetime you get to recreate "Titanic." The day I left "Titanic" Jim said to me, "It's been a hell of a trip." Believe me, it was. Jim, Jon, Rae, and my wife, thank you for your support during the whole production. Finally, I am only as good as the crew around me. Ladies and gentlemen, you were the best. Thank you.
