He added, "I'm here because of people's faith in me - that give me their faith and their time, and that's the best part about being on a film crew, is being with people. We need each other. This is a wonderful gift, and I'm so happy to call the movies home."

He was nominated alongside Chloe Zhao ("Hamnet"), Josh Safdie ("Marty Supreme"), Ryan Coogler ("Sinners") and Joachim Trier ("Sentimental Value").
