Emily Blunt (00:00):
And the Oscar goes to Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Guillermo del Toro first saw Walt Disney’s Pinocchio as a child and felt it was the first time somebody captured how scary childhood could be.
Mark Gustafson (00:23):
Wow.
Dwayne Johnson (00:24):
Congratulations, my man.
Mark Gustafson (00:25):
Thank you.

It’s so good to know that this art form that we love so much, stop motion, is very much alive and well. I want to thank ShadowMachine and the crew up in Portland. I want to thank the Henson Company and Lisa Henson. I want to thank my beautiful wife and Sebastian as well, and this man who was really the genesis of everything, including my drinking problem.
Guillermo del Toro (00:58):
Thank you. Animation is cinema. Animation is not a honor. And animation is ready to be taken to the next step. We are all ready for it. Please help us keep animation in the conversation. I would like to thank Netflix and Ted Sarandos for sustaining his faith in us to make this movie, and I want to dedicate this to the love of my life, my wife, Kim, and my kids, and my mom and pop. They’re not here anymore, but they are here with me and I’m your son and I love you. Thank you.
