‘Bout time GTD saw some fruits from his labors! I’m super glad he took both the Director and Picture Oscars. There may be hope for the Academy yet! ; )sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.Comment

Yeah. I DVR the entire show, but only watched the last four major categories, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Picture.
Blade Runner 2049 beat Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy for Best Cinematography and Best Special Visual Effects...

so glad he won, I figured I'd wake up to a snub for the movie.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

I was so excited because my friend worked on this, doing the FX. He won the Oscar last year for FX but didn't get the nom this year oddly.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Excellent for him! Well deserved. I like that he can do both popcorn (Pacific Rim) and more indie-arthouse stuff (Devil's Backbone). His knowledge of history, myth, and legends is extraordinary. There's videos of his home out there, and while his collection is impressive, his library is even more so.Comment

I'm so glad he won and that the field is getting some renewed attention and respect outside the circle.
I enjoyed this interview he did back in April, not only does it reveal some 'Projects', but you really get a sense of the 'inner geek' that he is.
Of note about his Projects, the ones that REALLY grabbed My Attention was: 'At the Mountains of Madness' ( I am a HUGE HP Lovecraft Fan) & 'Pinocchio' (LOVE his take on the beloved Italian Fable by Carlo Collodi).
HOPEFULLY they will get the dust shaken off and revived from the Cancellation Pile.Everyone is Entitled to MY Opinion...Your's, not so much!Comment
