Last night, Greig Fraser gave a remote acceptance speech for his work on DUNE.
Members of the Academy, colleagues and fellow film artisans:
I am honoured to receive this award from such a distinguished body, which celebrates the crafts of our industry. DUNE is greater than the sum of its parts, and I certainly wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my camera team, the sound department, the outstanding music composers, the hair and makeup artists, editors, costumers, art and production design departments. The list of people I am indebted to is too long to share, but you know who you are.
I’d have no business accepting this award without thanking my wife Jodie. You have been the greatest supporter and the reason I am able to forge my path in this challenging industry.
And of course Denis Villeneuve. I am grateful you took me on this journey with you, and I can’t wait to see where it takes us next.
I'm sorry to not be able to thank you in person tonight, but I tested positive for Covid-19 at the last minute.
We wish Greig a speedy recovery and congratulate him on this well-deserved acknowledgment of his stunning work on DUNE.
