"Dear Anthony,

Congratulations once again to you and your team for the win, and thank you for the sincere, humble and heartfelt Singaporean story.

Your win is a huge inspiration to us all (especially younger filmmakers), showing us that our dreams as a small country can never be too big.

Ilo Ilo is a heartwarming film that celebrates the human spirit, and recognises that we're all imperfect as people. It was so sincere and so honest! I laughed and teared and laughed again.
