The Oscars (2019 TV Special)

John Ottman: Self - Winner

Quotes 

• Himself - Winner: Best Film Editing : He just asked me if I would like this and I said, sure, my mom would like it, who is here, over there. She's 85 years old. Wow, you get up here and you're completely blank. This film, I always like to say, as the entire cast and crew likes to always say, was a labor of love. And I think Freddie Mercury, in a way, kind of brought us all together from wherever he is, and just like he did his audience. I just am so thankful for everyone bonding together and supporting each other and trusting me. I mean, there's too many people to thank, of course - I'm looking at Rami looking at me, "Better thank me!" Got the band over here. Thank you so much, Brian May and Roger Taylor. And I have to mention, of course, Graham King and Denis O'Sullivan, two of the hardest-working and committed producers I've ever worked with in my life. And lastly, this goes to my parents on their fireplace mantel, because they encouraged me to do whatever I wanted to do when I was a kid, whether it was writing music, which was a mystery to them, or making films in their garage on Normington Way in San Jose, California. So, as Freddie's father would say: Good thoughts, good words, good deeds. Thank you.
