"Kulukundis began by thanking the Academy. As she did, however, she pointed out not only how long it took for her job to receive an award, but how long it took to be credited at all. "I have to obviously thank the Academy for even adding this category, and for the casting directors that fought tirelessly to make it happen despite everything in their way," she said. "I dedicate this to you and to the casting directors who never got a chance to get up here, who didn't even get a chance to get their name on the movie."
