I feel incredibly grateful and awestruck to be among such talented individuals and to share this moment with little Ari, who was captivated by Judy Garland’s rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” right before a magical, radiant bubble appeared.
I’m incredibly proud of you! Once more, thank you deeply for this recognition bestowed by The Academy.”
