It’s the opinion of many film historians, that Hitchcock’s “Thank You” was really his way of saying “F You”, for AMPAS never having given him an Oscar for Best Director or Best Picture..

He also won the AFI’s Lifetime Achievement award in 1979.. do a search for “Hitchcock Lifetime Achievement” and you’ll find the video here.. he gave a much longer acceptance speech, seated at their banquet.. my sense is that he WAS truly Thankful to the AFI..

Its not the same as best director though.

And when you consider the fantastic movies kubrick and hitchcock made, you realise how big of a snub it was.
