I didn't watch the Oscars last night--too many years of frustration and disappointment... ended up watching Alien Nation of all things instead. Anyways, after hearing that Happy Feet had won, I was reading the acceptance speeches on Oscar.com and noticed in Miller's he once again thanked the Mocap artists--basically before everyone else... okay, you can argue it's just cutesy joke from his kids, but given that the mocap issue has been hanging about for a while now (http://keyframeonline.com/Articles_Archive/January/2007#259) I wouldn't be surprised if that's how it'll end up being taken...
Oh, gosh. I asked my kids, "What should I say?" They said, "Thank all the men for wearing penguin suits." They gave me a lucky coin, a lucky penguin, but my real good luck was to work with hundreds and hundreds of amazing people, that wonderful cast, great artists, computer wizards, studios that were passionate, people who cut trailers, dubbed the movie, got it into the theaters. And on their behalf, I thank the Academy for this. Thank you. -- Oscar.com (http://www.oscar.com/oscarnight/winners/?pn=detail&nominee=HappyFeetAnimatedFeatureFilmNominee)any bets on the number of fairly pissed off animators this morning? :rolleyes:
