Ben Feldman said:
“It’s a tremendous honor (honoUr!) to not only be accepted by, and be recognised for, our work in a country overflowing with incredible artists and shows. If this nomination means that more Australians will watch our show and eventually allow me back into their country then my master plan has been a success.”
