It feels absolutely miraculous to me that both Sebastian and I were recognized.
Todays nomination is, without overstatement, a realization of a lifelong dream, Strong continued.
I remember being unable to sleep because of how exciting it was to be close to that world.
I have devoted my life to the attempt to do genuine work that would be worthy of this honor.
I am filled with amazement and flooded with emotion and with deep gratitude to my peers in the Academy.
Well update if/when we hear from Culkin.
