Denzel Washington - FLIGHT

“ ‘Flight’ was one of the most challenging roles I’ve ever had in my career, and it was an honor to be directed by Robert Zemeckis. It’s always nice to be asked back to the show, and it will be fun to share the evening with our nominated screenwriter John Gatins."

John Gatins - FLIGHT

I’m truly humbled. This nomination represents the 12 years I spent writing the script married with the most amazing performance by Denzel Washington, and capped by the genius vision of Robert Zemeckis. Words cannot explain the honor I feel to have my name on the same poster as Bob, Denzel, John Goodman, Don Cheadle, Bruce Greenwood, Melisa Leo, James Badge Dale and Kelly Reilly.
