“Celebrating creative brilliance through art is a direct celebration of the core spirit of diversity. By its very nature, art invites and transports us to places beyond our current state of being – whatever the medium, whatever the realm. Art leads us to expand our hearts, minds, and souls and to explore the reset boundaries that now encompass the new ‘me’ – the ‘me’ that sees and feels more than before – more reality, more possibility, and more of what might be within our reach. And the magic of art is the way in which it blends difference, variety, and representation with the commonality of shared interests, hopes, and dreams. In short, it unifies through differences. This is certainly the case with television and film, [even a book] where our collective fondness and attachment have long proven to be deep, with the impressions profound, transformational, and lasting.”-Neil Phillips, HFPA
