VIDEO: Watch James Ivory's 2018 Oscars Acceptance Speech For Writing (Adapted Screenplay)

Watch James Ivory's Oscar 2018 acceptance speech for Writing (Adapted Screenplay) for CALL ME BY YOUR NAME at the 90th Academy Awards.

CALL ME BY YOUR NAME is a sensual and transcendent tale of first love, based on the acclaimed novel by Andr Aciman, written by Oscar nominee James Ivory and starring Armie Hammer (The Social Network) and Timothe Chalamet (Interstellar, Homeland).

It's the summer of 1983 in the north of Italy, and Elio Perlman (Chalamet), a precocioius 17-year-old American-Italian boy, spends his days in his family's 17 th-century villa transcribing and playing classical music, reading and flirting with his friend Marzia (Esther Garrel).

Elio enjoys a close relationship with his father (Michael Stuhlbarg), an eminent professor specializing in Greco-Roman culture, and his mother Annella (Amira Casar), a translator, who favor him with the fruits of high culture in a setting that overflows with natural delights. While Elio's sophistication and intellectual gifts suggest he is already a fully-fledged adult, there is much that yet remains innocent and unformed about him, particularly about matters of the heart.

One day, Oliver (Hammer), a charming American scholar working on his doctorate, arrives as the annual summer intern tasked with helping Elio's father. Amid the sun-drenched splendor of the setting, Elio and Oliver discover the heady beauty of awakening desire over the course of a summer that will alter their lives forever
