He said, "I just want to say it's wonderful to be part of this community of artists and entertainers, people that -- by sharing their experience, imagining others' perspectives, telling stories, and musing on what is, was, and most importantly could be. They make us feel closer to each other and connect us, creating an important dialogue particularly needed in these detached, technology-driven and divisive times."
Willem continued. "So I'm glad to be with people like this and hopefully we're making this a better world somehow."
The actor wrapped his speech by giving a shout-out to his wife and director Giada Colagrande.
