Autumn Durald Arkapaw asked all of the women in the room to stand up with her as she accepted her Oscar. 'I don't get here without you guys.'
"Sinners" cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw made history on Sunday night as the first woman to win the Oscar for best cinematography. Arkapaw is only the third woman to be nominated in the category in Academy Awards history.
Before winning the award, she had already made history as the first-ever woman of color nominated in the category."Whenever I say thank you to Ryan , he replies and says, 'No, thank you. Thank you for believing in me, and thank you for trusting me.' And that's the kind of guy who I get to make films with," Arkapaw said. "And he means it. He really, truly means it.""I feel like I had to meet him. This little girl that -- their mother, who is over there, told them that they could do anything -- had to meet Ryan," she said."I really want all the women in the room to stand up, because I feel like I don't get here without you guys," Arkapaw continued. "I really, really, truly mean that. I have felt so much love from all of the women on this whole campaign."'I don't have feeling anymore': Mother speaks after husband charged in Queens dismemberment murder
