“I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to work on a show with such a distinctive viewpoint—one that represents the world in honest, diverse, complex, not to mention hilarious ways,” Lilly told Bowdoin News. “Such inspired content, and the incomparably talented collaborators that helped bring it to life, have made this one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. I am so grateful to have been a part of it, and am honored to be recognized by my colleagues and the Academy.”
