THE MOON AND THE SON: AN IMAGINED CONVERSATION John Canemaker and Peggy Stern

FILM SYNOPSIS
A son explores his difficult relationship with his dead father through an imaginary conversation about the older man's past.

ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
John: Peggy and I thank the Academy for this great honor. And also for your faith in hand-drawn animation, which still can pack an emotional wallop. I want to thank my brother and sister Tony and Kathleen Cannizzaro. My talented life partner, Joseph Kennedy. Sheila Nevins, and Jackie Glover at HBO. Ron Sadoff's music, David Mehlman's wonderful editing. And all my students and colleagues at NYU Tisch School of the Arts. Peg?

Peggy: Thank you to Eli Wallach and John Turturro for your sensitive vocal performances. Thank you to my brother Tom Stern, and my husband Alan Ruskin. And to those of you who are moms and juggle working in this business, you'll understand my tremendous thank you to my children, Ben and Emma, and my mom, Joanne Stern. Thanks.
