After a week of studio visits, fancy dinners and Hollywood meetings, the winners of the 42nd Student Academy Awards finally got their chance to thank the academy.
Fifteen young filmmakers spent a week in Los Angeles as the film academy’s guests before receiving their awards at a ceremony Thursday night.

“Of course, I would like to thank the academy. I’ve always wanted to say that,” Chapman University student Daniel Drummond said as he accepted his prize. “I could be up here all night and still wouldn’t be able to convey how much this means to me.”
Members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences chose the 14 winning student films from 1,686 submissions — triple last year’s entries, said academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs. Winners were recognized with gold, silver or bronze medals in five categories: animation, documentary, narrative, foreign and alternative.
