“Thank you,” producer Emma Thomas said to the crowd as she opened her acceptance speech. Thank you very lot for to the critics choice association. Come on. Come on. Many thanks for it.
“Our movies typically have a modest beginning.” It’s a family-run firm, sort of. Frequently, we have cone talks with our children at the dinner table. I wouldn’t name all four of them because there are so many.
“We bring people on, and our casting director sees it grow.” He is the creator of this amazing group, which is growing, and we are here with our film family.
A few of the individuals with whom we collaborated on the movie are former colleagues. I’ve made new friends and family, and I’m incredibly appreciative of the effort.
‘Knowing all of these wonderful people, again, I wouldn’t identify them. I’m sure I’ll forget someone, and everyone deserves to be acknowledged here. Thank you so much, Universal, of course.
Michael Moses, the magician who’s been sitting over there, is the one who figured out how to make this movie become a global sensation. We extend our gratitude to you and your group. We don’t always agree with what you say, but sometimes we do. We are really appreciative of it, so thank you.
