YouTube CEO Neal Mohan was honored as CEO of the Year, while Leonardo DiCaprio earned Entertainer of the Year. Time will announce its Person of the Year on December 11. Watch the highlights from the star-studded red carpet and powerful speeches.
00:29Um, yeah, I just feel very honored to be here for a time where the breakthrough, right?
00:37So honored to, you know, to be representing Korean culture and just, you know, this movie
00:44took a while, but, you know, everyone's hard work definitely paid off.
00:48I think, you know, getting so much love is just such a blessing and only grateful, seriously.
00:54I think it just shows the power of insane, incredible storytelling and music.
00:59And that it's totally worth it to take risks on original ideas.
01:03And I would love to see the world embrace more original stories and music.
01:20I feel like this is a movie that I needed as a kid.
01:24And to see it grow legs and grow wings and everything else is such an honor to be a part
01:31of it.
01:31But also just as someone who's from this culture, I think it's very redeeming and inspiring to
01:38know that some kids are going to see this film and feel like they can see their own stories
01:43represented in it.
01:44And, um, that's just the honor of a lifetime.
01:57I mean, you know, I've grown up with time magazine and to even be considered for this
02:02is really like, it was one of the biggest surprises and just for the movie itself and for it to be
02:11considered a breakthrough, um, you know, all the efforts that we put in for the authenticity and,
02:17and, um, the storytelling, the music really, um, makes us feel honored to have time magazine.
02:26And, um, you know, the world's acknowledged that I, you know, we pitched very much what the movie is.
02:37Maggie would talk a lot about Korean culture, the power of K-pop and the representation of these
02:43women as like badass, but also frankly, weirdos and goofballs and silly.
02:49And I really was a believer in the idea that the film could celebrate the power of music
02:54and the way that it, it's got a supernatural way of connecting us and being a force for good.
03:01So I think we mashed all that together and, um, yeah, it, the movie's truly a product of that,
03:08those ambitions.
03:09Yeah.
03:10Yeah.
03:11And one last look at the hat.
03:15Guys, here.
03:16Great.
03:16Did you guys sound good?
03:19Oh man, it feels really blessed, you know, you pray for something and you get to reap the benefits of that.
03:47I think that's the most joyful part of it.
03:48Like the rings and banners are great, but when you're able to just live, you're living a prayer.
03:53I'm, I'm, I'm staying on the shoulders of my ancestors that have believed in me, um, and just my village as well.
03:58So it's, it's been an incredible feeling, um, and I'm grateful.
04:01I really am.
04:02When I used to say, uh, when I used to play in my earlier years, everyone was like, why should I watch that video?
04:07Like, you just have the experience.
04:08Absolutely.
04:09Absolutely.
04:09I mean, when it comes to my foundation and how we just continue to help younger, young boys and girls with learning disabilities, I'm dyslexic.
04:16Uh, so we help them to know that they have a place in this world that you don't, you don't have to necessarily let a learning disability stop you from being successful.
04:22And I feel like I'm living proof to that and I hope that I can continue to give them that belief every single day.
04:26So yeah, I think I love that more than on the court.
04:28The one of the court stuff's like, all right, it's fun.
04:30It's, it's my good hobby.
04:31Uh, but the off, the off the court is where I really connect.
05:01I mean, there are 8 billion people on the planet.
05:05So coming up with the people who are, you know, most influential in their category is not easy.
05:11But we do think about what are the main themes and stories of the year and who really exemplifies, you know, excellence in their field.
05:19It's exciting to see people just at the beginning of their career and someone like DiCaprio,
05:30who's well into what he's doing and that's ultimately what time is about, recognizing people at different stages of their career,
05:37recognizing achievement and influence throughout all these different parts of society.
06:00So, you can only do that.
06:01So, uh, what the cookbook has provided during paradise in which of our family sees people.
06:05About of that?
06:06Mm-hmm.
06:06So, I love that.
06:07And if you can't, you simply cannot get at that.
06:08So, say, nothing about caring for us.
06:09So fun!
06:10What are people doing?
06:12Ha, ha!
06:13Relationship!
06:14So, we'll be able to be able to remember this last practice.
06:15I go to some Develop.
06:17※ You go to an Emoping by the podcast.
06:23Oh.
06:24So, of course, this course, it would be great.
