"I just want to say a couple of things... Tonight has been such a wonderful celebration for us. It seems to somehow express this strange wave that's happened with "TITANIC" where people all over the world have opened their hearts to this movie, and that's so gratifying to all of us that worked on it and will be forever grateful to them, the audience, and I know a lot of you are watching at home. In the midst of all this euphoria,It's -- It's kind of hard for us to remember that this euphoria and this success is for a film that's based on a real event that happened, where real people died that shocked the world in 1912. I'd just like everybody to go with me for just a second. I'd like to do a few seconds of silence in the rememberance of the 1,500 men, women, and children who died when the great ship died. And the message of "TITANIC", of course, is that if the great ship can sink, the unthinkable can happen, the future's unknowable. The only thing that we truly own is today. Life is Precious. So during these few seconds, I'd like you to also listen to the beating of your own heart, which is the most precious thing in the world. Join me for a few seconds of silence." - James Cameron accepting the Oscar for Best Picture
