“From the beginning he defied expectations, starting with his now-classic homage to the Hollywood studio musical and B-movie creature feature, ‘Little Shop of Horrors,’ and continuing through slyly subversive comedies like ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,’ ‘What About Bob?,’ ‘In & Out,’ and ‘Bowfinger,’ before tackling a satire, a YA literary adaptation, a crime drama, a Ealing-style English farce, and documentaries. Oz’s singular intelligence, wit, and creativity have illuminated them all. We’re grateful he’s letting us shine a spotlight on him.”
