“Since this is a film about an immigrant family and their struggles through life, I immediately think of my parents, sons of immigrants from Hungary and Denmark, whose families came here and sacrificed for their children to achieve their dreams. I can only imagine what it would feel like for them and their parents to hear that their daughter/granddaughter was nominated for an Oscar this morning.. I am stunned, honored and excited for our little film that was able to be in the nominations today and continues to do and do,” she said.
This morning, when the awards were being announced, Jamie got the news from her friend, the producer, Debbie Oppenheimerwho won an Oscar for his documentary “Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport” -where he develops the story of his mother- and accompanied her to witness the revelation of the shortlists.
“She came in (into her house) and sat with me like I had sat with her the day she was on her way to the Oscars, the year she won. We held hands. I didn’t even realize that she took photos,” said the actress, who published a series of postcards showing her surprised reaction.
