Thank you. As a kid growing up in suburban Florida, I was obsessed by movies and Hollywood seemed like it was a million miles away. I never thought that I would be here, but I'm so happy to be and thrilled to be a part of the creative industry that going to work is fun every day. And I'd like to thank my crew, picture editor Lee Smith, mixers Lora Hirschberg and Gary Rizzo, producers Emma Thomas, Chuck Roven and Christopher Nolan, who was very fun to work with and very detail-oriented, just made going to work a joy, and thank you very much, Chris. Thank you to the Academy.
