“One of the first people who taught me how to act was Denzel Washington,” he continued. “And I just met him tonight for the first time. Thank you. And to all the other nominees who did great work, I’m proud to be in your company. You guys are very brave and I admire what you do.”

He added, “Man, I wish I had something bigger and more meaningful to say. I’m really proud to be a part of this community in general. I look out at all of you and I’m just dumbfounded that I’m included. It means a lot to me.”
