Guillermo del Toro wins the Oscar for best animated feature for ‘Pinocchio’

Once again the Oscar awards are celebrated, which began in 1929, and this 2023 comes the edition number 95 of the awards organized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. On this occasion, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” comes as the film with the most nominations and starts as the big favorite of the evening.

The big category of the evening is that of the best film, where titles like ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, ‘Everything everywhere at the same time’, ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’, ‘The Fabelmans’, ‘Women Talking’, ‘The Triangle of Sadness’, ‘All Quiet on the Front’, ‘Avatar: The Water Path’, ‘Elvis’ and ‘TÁR’, to gain the highest prestige in the film industry.

Two of the categories that have generated the greatest expectations in this edition are those of best actor and best actress, where Brendan Fraser is running as the favorite to take home the statuette for ‘The Whale’. While, in the women’s competition, Cate Blanchett wants her third prize, and snatches it from Michelle Yeoh, star of ‘Everything everywhere at the same time’.

This Sunday, March 12, the director of Guadalajara Guillermo del Toro won best animated film for ‘Pinocchio’, the Netflix production in which he shares a category with Mark Gustafson, Gary Ungar and Alex Bulkley. The tape tells the already known story from the children’s fairy tale, where a wooden boy grows his nose every time he lies, and embarks on an adventure that changes his life.

Guillermo del Toro’s “Pinocchio” makes history

Although in recent weeks many believed that the man from Guadalajara would not take home the statuette, Guillermo del Toro makes history with ‘Pinocchio’ at the Oscars 2023. Additionally, it beat out ‘Puss in Boots: The Last Wish’, A24’s ‘Marcel with the shoes on’, Netflix’s ‘The Sea Beast’ and ‘Turning Beasts’.

In his speech, Guillermo del Toro once again underlined the importance of animated cinema: “Animation is cinema, animation is ready to be taken to the next level, let’s keep it in the conversation, help us. I want to thank the love of my life, Kim, my children, my mother, my father who are here with me (in his heart). I am your son and I love you.
