Cathy Yan, Succession
"Thank you to the Academy. I had an absolute blast directing on my favorite show and am so honored to be nominated with this talented group. It's a privilege to have worked with Jesse Armstrong, Mark Mylod and the incredible cast and crew of Succession. It was the highlight of my pandemic."
Ron Howard, We Feed People
"This journey on We Feed People, has been so eye-opening. We are beyond thrilled by this incredible recognition from our peers. This honor is an extraordinary acknowledgment of the tremendous work of José Andrés and his team at World Central Kitchen. This film, at its core, is a story about volunteerism and all the good that can happen when we come together as one community. Their mission is inspiring and gives hope for our humanity. It is a true privilege for me and our team at Imagine Documentaries to share this honor with the team on this film, as well as our Emmy-nominated DP Kris Kaczor, and the entire team at National Geographic."
Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game
"I feel so happy and honored that Squid Game became the first non-English language series to be nominated for the Emmy Awards. I hope that Squid Game's Emmy nominations will open up even more opportunities for the whole world to enjoy and appreciate each other's content beyond the barriers of culture and language."
