I'm dying； Forrest。 Come on in； sit over here。
Why are you dying； Mom？
My time； just my time。 Don't you be afraid； sweetheart。 Death is just a part of life； soon we are all destined to do。 I didn't know it but I was destined to be your Mama。 I did the best I could。
You do good。 Mom。
Well； but I haven't believed in making your own destiny； you have to do the best with what God gave you。
What's my destiny； Mom？

Thank you for dropping by on your way to the party。 As the 29th President of the Academy； I welcome you all to our 69th Annual Award。 There are over 6000 of us in the Academy who share at least one wonderful and fulfilling thing with over a billion of you out there： We love movies。 We don't always love the same movie； nor do we always agree which are art and which are artless。 But that's what adds spice to our Awards in the form of suspense； spirited discussion and emotional clashes。 Still； going to the movies brings us together to share our humanity。 In what sometimes feels like an ear of isolation； we find ourselves too often alone with our technology； sitting alone to read our computer screens； or listening to radio and watching television alone。 Fortunately we still have our houses of worship； ballgames and movies to remind us that we are related by humanity； not machinery。 So we in our Academy propose an agreement with you： you keep going to the movies； and we'll keep making them。
Ladies and Gentlemen； last year's best actor： Nicolas Cage：
Oscar Wield once pointed out that while we looked to the dramatist to give romance to realism； we asked the actress to give realism to romance。 The immensely talented women nominated tonight for Best Actress do just that and more。 The nominees for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role are： Brenda Blethyn in Secrets and Lies； Diane Keaton in Marbin's Room； Frances McDormand in Fargo； Christin Scott Thomas in The English Patient； Emily Watson in Breaking The Waves。 The Oscar goes to； the Oscar goes to Frances McDormand in Fargo。
It is impossible to maintain one's composure in this situation。 What am I doing here？ Especially considering the extraordinary group of women with whom I was nominated。 We five women were fortunate to have the choice； not just the opportunity； but the choice to play such rich； complex femal characters。 And I congratulate producers like Walking Teddler in Polygram for allowing directors to let； allowing directors to make autonomous casting decisions based on qualifications； and not just market value。 And I encourage； I
encourage writers and directors to keep these really interesting female roles coming while you edit； even if you throw a few for men as well My family； friends and colleagues here tonight and all around the world； they know exactly who they are； you know who you are； and I hope you already know how much your support and your care means to me。 I'm gonna name three： the co…writer director and producer of Fargo； Mr。Etha Coen who helped make an actor of me； his brother Mr。Joel Coen who made a woman of me； and our moon and our son； Mr。Pedrow McDormand Coen who's made a real mother of me。 Thank you for acknowledging out work。
The parts the nominees for the Best actor in a leading Role played are all basically challenged in some way。 I think there are time challenges； so why don't we just cut to the chase here and let us just give this lucky guy ad extra eleven seconds。 Thus I'll go ahead； OK？ The nominees for the Best Actor in a Leading Role are： Tom Cruise in Jerry McGuire； Ralph Fiennes in the English Patient； Woody Harrelson in the People Versus Larry Flint； Geoffrey Rush in Shine； Billy Bob Thornton in Sling Blade。 And the Oscar goes to Geoffrey Rush in Shine。

Ladies and Gentlemen；the president of the United States of America； William Jefferson Cliton。
My fellow citizens； at this last presidential inauguration of the 20st century； let us lift our eyes toward the challenges that await us in the next century。 It is our great； good fortune。 The time and chance have put us not only at the edge of a new century and a new millennium； but on the edge of a bright new prospect in human affairs； a moment that will define our course and our character for decades to come。 We must keep our old democracy forever young。 Guided by the ancient vision of a promised land； let our sights upon the land of new promise The promise of America was born in the 18th century； out of the bold conviction that we are all created equal。 It was extended and preserved in the 19th century when our nation spread across the continent； saved the Union and abolished the awful scurge of slavery。 Then； in turmoil and tryout ； that promise exploded over the world stage to make this the American century。 And what a century it has been。 America became the world's mightiest industrial power； saved the world from tyranny in two world wars and a long Cold War； and time and again； reached out across the globe to millions who like us long for the blessings of liberty。 Along the way； Americans produced the great middle class and security in old age； built unrival centers of learning and opened public schools to all； split the atom and explored the heavens invented the computer nad the microchip； and deepened the world's frame of justice by making a revolution in Civil Rights for AfricanAmericans and all minorities and extending the circle of citizenship； opportunity and dignity to women。 Now for the third time； a new century is upon us and another time to choose。 We began the 19th century with a choice to spread our nation from coast to coast。 We began the 20th century with a choice to harness the Industrial Revolution to our values of free enterprise； conservation and human decency。 Those choices made all the difference。
At the dawn of 21st century； a free people must now choose to shape the forces of the infiormation age and the global society to unleash the limitless potential of all our people and ； yes ； to form a more perfect union。
When last we gathered； out march to this new future seemed less certain than it does today。 We vowed then to set a clear course to renew our nation。 In these four years； we have been touched by tragedy； exhilarated by challenge； strengthened by achievement。
America stands alone as the world's indispensable nation。 Once again our economy is the strongest on earth； one agaion we are building stronger families； thriving communities； better education opportunities； a cleaner environment。 Problems that once seemed destined to deepen now've bent to our efforts。 Our streets are safer； and record numbers of our fellow citizens have moved from welfare to work。 And once again we have resolved for our time a great debate over the role of government。 Today we can declare government is not the problem； and government is not the solution。 We； the American people； we are the solution。
Our founders understood that well and gave us a democracy； strong enough to endure for centuries； flexible enough to face our common challenges and advance our common dreams in each new day。 As times change； so government must change。 We need a new government for a new century； humble enough not to try to solve all our problems for us； but strong enough to give us the tools to solve our problems for ourselves； a government that is smaller； lives within its means and does more with less； yet where it can stand up for our values and interests around the world and where it can give Americans the power to make a real difference in their everyday lives； government should do more； not less。 The preeminent mission of our new government is to give all Americans an opportunity； not a guarantee； but a real opportunity to build better bives。
Beyond that； my fellow citizens； the future is up to us。 Our founders taught us that the preservation of our liberty and our union depends upon responsible citizenship。 And we need a new sense of responsibility for a new century。 There is work to do； work that government alone can not do； teaching children to read； hiring people of wealthier roles； coming out from behind locked doors and shuttered windows； to help reclaim our streets from drugs and gangs and crime； taking time out of our own lives to serve others。 Each and everyone of us； in our won way； must assume personal responsibility； not only for ourselves and our families； but for our neighbors and our nation。
Our greatest responsibility is to embrace a new spirit of community for a new century。 For any one of us to succeed； we must succeed as one America。 The challenge of our past remains the challenge of our future。 Will we be one nation； one people with one common destiny or not？ Will we all come together or come apart？ The divide of racej has been the America's constant curse； and each new wave of immigrants gives new targets to old prejudices。 Prejudice and contempt clogged in the pretense of religious or political convictions are no different。 These forces have nearly destroyed our na
