When the great director Billy wilder was asked what makes a movie unforgettable, his answer was simple -- "a little bit of magic." We're all here tonight, or sitting at home watching, because something came off a movie screen. A little bit of magic touched our lives. And you always remember where you were, the theater, the popcorn, the people you were with when it happened. 1968 -- my family lived in Ottawa, Canada. The movie was stanley kubrick's "2001: A space odyssey." I couldn't stop thinking about it. What is life? What is space? What is existence? I was 6 years old. [ Laughter ] And I knew right then and there, I wanted to be an astronaut. [ Laughter ] My family traveled a lot. The white-hot thrill of "jaws." That was Louisville, Kentucky. Senior year -- new jersey, "apocalypse now." Valley forge, Pennsylvania, "raging bull." I knew I wanted to be an actor. [ Laughter ] In good times and poor times, movies were my lifesaver. And then, last September, came an event that would change us. An actor friend said to me, "what are we doing? Is it important, is it even important what I do?" And what of a night like tonight? Should we celebrate the joy and magic that movies bring? Dare I say it? More than ever. [ Applause ] A small scene, a gesture, even a glance between characters can cross lines, break through barriers, melt prejudice, or just plain make us laugh. It brings us all together, that little bit of magic. But that's just me. Tonight, we're going to listen to you. Documentary filmmaker errol morris criss-crossed America asking moviegoers and culture makers a question -- "what do movies mean to you?" And you answered. So let's expand this beautiful stage into every one of your homes. And maybe even some of you will answer this question as you stand on this stage tonight, "what do movies mean to you?" So pull up a sofa. It's just us, talking. It's Oscar night. [ Applause ]

Just an escape?
Well, what's wrong with that? That's quite a lot.
I'd rather go to a mediocre movie than a good play.
Movies are like food. They're essential to your life.
"Postman rang twice." Did you see that one?
"Hearts and minds" -- which won an academy award and maybe stopped the war in Vietnam.
Can movies really do that?
That one did.
You'll learn how to be sexy.
After I saw it, I knew I had to wear a three-piece white suit to my bar mitzvah.
I like "bad lieutenant," which was sort of a dark, seamy side of the police, but I like harvey keitel.
Even in my country, when I lived there, I used to see all the classic American movies.
What I did get out of movies was that there was a better life than the life that I was leading. [ Speaking French ]

She was picked out ost handsome guy in the room. She's not expecting anybody to even notice her.
They both love each other, and then he goes and dies. I mean, it's the most frustrating thing in the world.

It's unfair.
Life's unfair. And "ernest goes to jail" tells us that.

Sunny and heartwarming.
Gruff, uncompromising.
Something with squirrels, I would imagine. Squirrels.
Honor and service and duty and pity and black-and-white flickering. God, I'm into this.
Second row or third row? I like being overwhelmed by it.
Sometimes we numb ourselves to reality. Movies kind of bring it back for us.
Maybe that's what we need to learn in the world. You don't leave your seat. Let's wait until the end of the movie and work it out. [ Speaking foreign language ]

I'm not sure that it's a dramatic medium. It sort of belongs more to poetry than it does to anything else.
In the end, everybody comes with money, and the angel gets wings, and it's just -- it completely redeems the idea of being good. So that's why I think I like it.
Aww. [ Applause ]

Can you believe this campaign? So much mud has been thrown this year all the nominees look black. [ Laughter ] [ Applause ] I tell you this negative campaigning has got to stop. I got an e-mail today that said frodo baggins was an anti-semite. [ Laughter ] Tonight marks the debut of Oscar's new house, the Kodak. Beautiful, isn't it? [ Applause ] Actually, the academy wanted to stay at the old place but the network thought they should go with a younger theater.
