acceptance speech in which he began by comparing himself to his King Richard
character, who was a “fierce defender of his family.”
“In this time in my life, in this moment, I am overwhelmed by what God is calling on
me to do and be in this world,” he said. “I’m being called on in my life to love people

“I want to be an ambassador of that kind of love and care and concern. I want to
apologize to the Academy, I want to apologize to all my fellow nominees. This is a
beautiful moment and I’m not crying for winning an award, it’s not about winning an
award for me, it’s about being able to shine a light.”
