PR maven Matthew Freud and fellow Brit and collaborator Charlie Mackesy apologized for winning an Oscar for The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and the Horse.

The streaming service recently became the home of A Charlie Brown Christmas, which for decades had aired every year on broadcast TV. Taking the mic from Freud, Mackesy recounted a conversation with a woman from his hometown who was helping him with his outfit for Oscar night. Along with Freud, the film’s producers include Cara Speller, Hannah Minghella and JJ Abrams, and the BBC aired it as a holiday special in the UK. Freud closed by quipping that he was “also really sorry to my children, my girlfriend and my colleagues at [PR firm] Freuds for basically being absent over the last two years.” “I’ve never made a film before, so this is bewildering,” Freud said in accepting the trophy. The Boy came into Oscar night as a heavy favorite in the category.
