Burnat says the customs officers did not believe him when he told them he was an Academy Award-nominated director

I wonder how that came up in conversation.

Mr. Burnat, are you an Academy Award-nominated director?

Why, yes, I am.

We don't believe you. Step this way.

Implication of the story is that he gave the Oscar invite as his reason for visiting, showing the invitation itself.
