The Oppenheimer director added, “The incredible Emma Thomas, producer of all our films and all of our children. I love you. To the academy, just to say, movies are just a little bit over 100 years old. I mean, imagine being there 100 years into painting or theatre. We don’t know where this incredible journey is going from here. But to know that you think that I’m a meaningful part of it means the world to me.”
