Shortly after the nominations, Butler shared his reaction to learning of his latest achievement during an interview Tuesday on "Today With Hoda & Jenna."
Â
"I'm still processing right now," he said. "But it was such a daunting undertaking making this movie. And it was also a very long process. I just remember all the sleepless nights and all the fear and all the possibilities for how it could've gone wrong. And so, not for just me, but for all these other amazing artists that worked on the film being recognized just feels surreal and amazing."
