International star Dev Patel is flying high after he got
nominated for the very prestigious Oscar Awards, for the
movie Lion. Dev was nominated in the Best Supporting
Actor category and the young actor is excited about it.
Dev released a statement telling, "Ok, so I just received
a call to say that I've been nominated for an Academy Award. To be totally
honest, the news hasn't made it's way into my brain yet, but I'm looking at
these beautiful smiling faces around me... Faces of the ones I love. And I feel
an overwhelming sense of gratitude. What makes this moment so much more
poignant is that I've just wrapped shooting another film in India. This
enthralling country holds such a deep place in my heart, and it is where
Saroo's journey was born. This film would be nothing without Garth Davis.
Without his love, commitment and vision this "Lion" wouldn't have
been able to roar. To that extent I want to share this incredible feeling with
Luke, Grieg, Jenny Kent, Iain, Angie, Emile, Sunny, Nicole, David, Rooney,
Divian, Priyanka, the Brierley family as well as the Weinstein Co
team. Lion reaffirms the message that love is not dictated by the color of
your skin, not by race, gender, sexuality, social status, or origin. It is a
message I am proud to be spreading during these uncertain times. This will
forever be one of the most memorable experiences of my life."
Dev's ex-girlfriend Freida took to Instagram to wish Dev on
this success. She shared, "So proud of you, Dev! A fine example of what
hardwork, focus, humility and crazy amazing talent rewards one with .Long time
coming, so well deserved! @lionmov @theacademy #Oscars2017
