Olssen said of his work, "Anyway, if I never get to edit anything ever again, I can still say that I've edited scenes with Gollum in them and I've edited scenes with Darth Vader in them so, I'm good."
He won an Emmy in the 2022 award ceremony for Outstanding Picture Editing for a Nonfiction Program for his work on The Beatles: Get Back.
