Tonight feels like home, and to express my gratitude. With the blessing of my new friends at Amazon, I will reveal to you tonight who will be the next James Bond,\u201d Villeneuve began, causing an audible stir in the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe actor who will play the next James Bond is\u2026\u201d Villeneuve continued, pausing dramatically. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I will stop right now because Amy Pascal is about to have a heart attack,\u201d he said, laughing.

I have a choice.

Those are two different things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even though one of those options is \u201cmore expensive than the other,\u201d Villeneuve cracked, he firmly believes that the process of filmmaking is more important than the result.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe process is how the human experience acquires its meaning,\u201d Villeneuve said. \u201cIn this moment in time, it is more important than ever that human beings keep making art together.
