Celebrating the Oscars: My Favorite Oscar Moments - 2002

Hayao Miyazaki is a animation legend, whose features have crossed over to the United States, and probably can be credited with the massive accessibility and success of anime and manga in the last several decades. I really don't read or watch any other anime, but I always make sure to check out Miyazaki movies, and I'm so thrilled he is planning another. Spirited Away is one of his finest films. It is incredibly artistic, beautifully animated, and emotionally resonate. Even if he wasn't there to accept the honor, it was still nice to hear his name called out.
