Speech
Thank you. I can't believe I'm standing here. Thank you. Thank you
to the Academy for giving me this honor. Thank you to my dad for
everything he taught me. Thank you to my brother Roman and all my
friends who were there for me when I was stuck at 12 pages and encouraged
me to keep writing. And the filmmakers whose movies -- I have to
breathe. The filmmakers whose movies inspired me when I was writing
this script, Antonioni and Wong Kar-Wai and Bob Fosse and Godard
and all the others. And every writer needs a muse. Mine was Bill
Murray. Thanks to my mom for always encouraging us to try to make
art, and thank you to Bart and Ross for helping make my script into
a movie. And thank you to everyone at Focus. Thank you.
