00:00 I mean, like you said, we're beyond ecstatic that we got eight Academy Award nominations.
00:07 [applause]
00:10 We set out to do something that would shift culture, affect culture,
00:17 just make some sort of impact, and it's already done that and some,
00:22 like way more than we ever dreamed it would.
00:26 And that is truly the biggest reward that could come out of all of this.
00:31 And I'm so, so obviously ecstatic.
00:34 Everyone getting the nods that they've had is just incredible.
00:38 And the best picture, obviously I think Greta should be nominated as a director
00:43 because what she did is--
00:45 [applause]
00:48 It's like a once in a career, once in a lifetime thing what she pulled off.
00:52 It really is.
00:53 But it's been an incredible year.
00:55 And for all the films, there's no way it feels sad when you know that it's worth it.
01:01 I'm really glad she got the screenplay nomination with Noah too.
01:05 It's just so well deserved.
01:07 It's also, I don't know, like all things to do with Barbie, it's not really about--
01:12 I don't know, I just suspect it's bigger than us, it's bigger than this movie,
01:16 it's bigger than our industry.
01:19 I don't know, when people feel that way, I think they're feeling it for themselves
01:23 world that they're in as opposed to this specific thing.
