- Here’s the latest Oscar Ad from the cover of the Hollywood Reporter. This is one (of the many) scenes that really makes me tear up. I’m very pleased to see that it’s being highlighted.
- Great news to celebrate today. Up producer, Jonas Rivera has been nominated by the Producers Guild of America for “Producer of the Year” in both the Animated Theatrical Motion Pictures and Theatrical Motion Pictures. The nomination in the “non-animated” category is a hugely positive sign for a Best Picture nod. Congrats to Jonas, Pete Docter, Bob Peterson and the entire Up production team. As Toy Story 3 director, Lee Unkrich said today via Twitter, Jonas was a Production Assistant on the original Toy Story. It just shows what you can achieve with hard work (and talent).
- Let your voice be heard! You can vote for Up (Best Animated Feature) and also vote in the Best Picture category as part of the 15th Annual Critics Choice Awards. Winners will be announced on January 15th.
- Take a sneak peek at John Lasseter’s wine cellar. It’s an excerpt from a new book Living with Wine by Samantha Nestor. She talks with many wine aficionados. Don’t forget that John and Nancy Lasseter’s labor of love (The Lasseter Family Winery) is now up and running!
- For those you who aren’t in to Twitter, you can check out my Pixar Talk Facebook page. I will post all the latest and greatest news there (just like I’m doing via Twitter).
