PAUL N.J. OTTOSSON:
This is such a great honor to be here. Twenty-three years ago, other side of the world, I sold everything I had to come and be part of what you guys do over here. It's such a great honor. There's so many people have faith in me and gave me a shot, maybe when, I don't know that I earned it yet. And thank you to all those people. My wife and my son, for always loving me no matter what. And Kathryn, what an incredible movie. Thank you for everything and your friendship. All of you, the Academy, thank you so much.
