"I can barely breathe right now… you were absolutely incredible in this film. An amazing actor, an amazing director — truly all of the above. Tonight we celebrate you: your talent, your mystique, and your incredible passion for the craft. Honestly, you deserve two Oscars for this one. When I sat down to watch the movie, I already knew it was going to be special the moment I saw a pair of Jordans on screen. Then the first line — “Are you guys twins?” and you hit us with, “No… we cousins!” — man, I was locked in from there. Congratulations, my brother @michaelbjordan. You’re operating in rare air right now. Celebrate it to the fullest… and trust me, the after-party is going to be crazy." — Jamie, via Instagram
