Q. Could you address the controversy in terms of Brad's credits, or the lack thereof?
A. The P G A makes rules and we fill out our forms and, you know, they came back and they denied Brad's credits and in fact, Marti and I appealed, on behalf of Brad's credits, and I will say that now I think he deserved the credit on the film. He did so much for the picture but I don't make the rules and their decision is their decision.

Q. So The Departed is a lot about rats. I don't know if you saw the footage of the real rats in a Taco Bell restaurant a couple days ago. I don't know if you saw that and took that as a sign this would be a good sign for your move at all?
A. No. I actually didn't see that. I would like to, though.

Q. What was the greatest win for you tonight for the movie, The Departed or the --
A. No doubt, Martin Scorsese. When that was given out, my nerves went down because if we didn't win for picture, Martin, I worked with the guy for three pictures now and I love him to bits and I wanted to see him bring it home. The other two are pretty good as well.
Q. And how will you celebrate tonight?
A. I'm sure we will go out and have a drink or two. We will see.

Q. Hi. Congratulations. Was it driving you crazy when your own team was saying, well, this movie really isn't an academy movie. We don't want to build it up too much. Weren't you, like, get up and cheer, of course it is?
A. No. I was actually the one being involved in gangs in New York and producing the Aviator which really did need nominations to drive to box office. This one, every day, there wasn't a day onset that we mentioned the all season. We never mentioned this picture for the awards. We never thought about it. There was a scene where Jack was coming out of the bar and has blood all over his hands and he tells Billy to go home and I turned around to somebody onset and said can you imagine me showing this to the golden globes? They are going to lynch me and we didn't think about awards on this.

Q. The importance of shooting this movie in Boston for the authenticity?
A. Very important. Whenever Martin shoots a movie he's so authentic in his way of shooting. If we can't shoot in the actual city we want to we go out and build and working in Boston was wonderful and hope we go back there very soon.

Q. In the film you have such an all star cast. Did you ever think for a second that the story would get lost amongst all that star power?
A. Not with Marti behind it, no. I definitely wouldn't and everyone was fabulous to work with, they really were. There were change made here and there and Jack put some additions to his character and a producer, it's a tough film to make with everyone's schedule and dealing with the additional props, let's say, in the movie. But, you know, at the end of the day, when you are dealing with the lives of score cease and Jack Nicholson and Leo and Matt, you kind of sit back and let them do their thing and that's what I did.

Q. Hi. Congratulations?
A. Thank you.
Q. First of all, first thing that popped into your head when you heard your name?
A. Such a surreal moment. I didn't think they were going to say me. It's funny. Diane Keaton was reading out the nominees and I'm the only producer they are not going to call one producer out and it must be another picture and I just looked at Jack interest his lips moved and said the The Departed and the rest is a blank.

Q. Now, you talked about how great it is to work with Martin Scorsese. Talk about that magic he seems to have with everybody that he works with.
A. You now, it's something when he's on set directing a film, first of all, there's no one in this world that respects film loves film and is a historian of film like Marti is and every day on the set we talk about other movies and we talk about what other movies we can make and movies in the past and he's the King. When he's on a set directing a cast of anything, whether it be Aviator or this or gangs, he's just amazing. He's a collaborator with access and invites me into his world, and he listens to them if they have an idea and everything is done on a very easy going way, easy going basis and it's just so natural to him. And, for me, watching him make this movie and like I said on the stage before, watching him direct Jack Nicholson for the first time and watching his camera angles and how he jumps from character to dialogue it's just phenomenal. It's the greatest.

Q. Hi. Don't you think that there is a kind of gap in between the choice of the academy and the audience of the public in America than to some other movies? And do you think The Departed is a kind of movie that tried to combine the politics as the French critic say and the kind of cinema able to arrive to all the type of public but perhaps is not of the most inspired movie by Martin Scorsese? It's a very good movie, but someone wrote it is not the most personal movie directed by Scorsese.
A. Only thing I can answer to that is he just won his first Academy Award and we won four out of five Oscars tonight. When Marti gets a movie and gets a script, he puts his stamp on it every time and whether it's a deep meaningful movie, gangs in New York or story of Howard Hughes or whether it's a group of gangsters in vacation, whatever he does he puts his mark on it and he did this with the movie tonight on The Departed and he's the only person I have spoken to who hasn't enjoyed the value of the again a Scorsese film.
Q. Thank you very much and congratulations.
A. Thank you.
