Oscars 2023: Best Actor Brendan Fraser – ’90s Kids Hero Makes a Comeback; Flexible acceptance!

(Pointing to the many leading actors and actresses together…) “Isn’t this what multiverse is all about?! Thanks to the Academy and the production company ‘A24’ for giving me such an honor. Especially to Darren Aronofsky, the director of ‘The Whale.’ He has provided a lifeline of encouragement. My heartfelt thanks to him for joining me on this cruise (in ‘The Whale’). Samuel D. Hunter, who wrote the film, is our beacon.”

Speaking about the other actors nominated for the Best Actor Award, “They showed us their hearts the size of ‘The Whale’. That’s why we felt their souls. I’m honored to be nominated as an actor along with them,” said Hong Soo, his co-star in the film. He also spoke in praise.
