“I love you so much, Ada James,” Corbet continued. “I’d like to thank the opportunity to acknowledge three people that I lost while making this picture: My grandfather, James, his brother Jerry, and my dear friend [producer] Kevin Turen, who I miss every day. I wouldn’t be standing here tonight if it were not for their influence.”
“And finally,” he concluded, “tonight my heart is with Aubrey Plaza and Jeff’s family. Good night.”
A speech to remember for so many reasons. Plaza, who was previously scheduled to present at the Jan. 5 ceremony but did not attend, acted in a number of her late husband’s films, including Life After Beth and The Little Hours. She confirmed in May 2021 that they’d married after a decade together.
