Stop Motion Animated Acceptance

The travesty that is The Golden Globes is over. What a bore. What an amazing display of ego. What plastic surgery! Every woman seemed to have the same Mickey Rourke cheek implants and bloated lips. Not one speech was electrifying or interesting. Well, maybe the plea for film history and preservation by Martin Scorsese. There was, too, the anger and befuddlement on many faces as James Cameron won major awards ... that was interesting; Jason Reitman looked like he was going to chew his scraggly beard. And there was all thank thanking of God and phony humility.

Below you will see an example of how to accept your award in a very interesting and creative manner. This is a video presentation at The National Board of Review Awards. Wes Anderson, the director of FANTASTIC MR. FOX, won a special achievement award and this film was shown in lieu of his being present. It's very clever.
