‘Inside Out’ : Pixar's Eighth Oscar

Disney-Pixar’s “Inside Out” won the Oscar for best animated film for director Pete Docter and producer Jonas Rivera in what had been regarded as one of the awards season’s most likely outcomes.


“We are all so lucky, regardless of a gold man, because we get to make stuff,” an elated Docter said in his acceptance speech.

He added that “Inside Out” had been inspired by his own children growing up and concluded by urging the audience to embrace creativity: “You can make stuff. Make films, draw, write. It will make a world of difference.”

Docter even made use of the show’s new thank you scroll to announce a special treat for his kids. The scroll, which was introduced to provide extra space for thanking a winner’s family and collaborators, read, “I love you Amanda, Nick & Elie — okay yes, let’s get a dog.”

It’s the eighth animated Oscar for Pixar, which has dominated the category since 2003, when “Finding Nemo” won, followed by “The Incredibles,” “Ratatouille,” “Wall-E,” “Up,” “Toy Story 3” and “Brave.” “The Good Dinosaur,” “Cars 2” and “Monsters University” are the only Pixar films that have not have been nominated since the category was created in 2001.

Disney Animation had won the last two animated Oscars with “Frozen” and “Big Hero 6.”

“Inside Out” won in a field that skewed heavily toward the independent, the international and the quirky. Paramount’s offbeat stop-motion drama “Anomalisa,” directed by Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson, received a nod, along with Lionsgate’s “Shaun the Sheep Movie” and a pair of dramas distributed by GKids — innovative Brazilian story “Boy and the World” and “When Marnie Was There” from Studio Ghibli.

“Inside Out” dominated at the Annie Awards with 10 wins in 14 categories. It also won the best animated film trophy at the BAFTAs.

“Inside Out” is set in the mind of an 11-year-old girl where five emotions — Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black) and Disgust (Mindy Kaling) — attempt with mixed success to lead her through life as she adjusts to moving from Minnesota to San Francisco. It outperformed forecasts with $356 million in the U.S. and another $500 million overseas.

The script, written by Docter, Meg LeFauve and Josh Cooley, was also nominated for best original screenplay.

Nigerian army Claims the Second Rescue of Chibok Girl

A second schoolgirl that was seized in the Nigerian town of Chibok has been found, the army says. But a spokesman for the Chibok girls' parents has cast doubt on the claims, saying that the girl's name is not on the families' list of those missing. An army spokesman said Serah Luka was among a group of 97 women and children rescued by troops in the north-east. Islamist militant group Boko Haram has abducted thousands of other girls in recent years, rights groups estimate. This comes two days after the rescue of the first Chibok girl, Amina Ali Nkeki. The army has previously given misleading statements about the rescue of the Chibok girls - in its initial statement after Ms Nkeki was found, it used a wrong name. In all, 218 girls remain missing after their abduction by the Boko Haram Islamist group from Chibok secondary school in north-eastern Nigeria in 2014. Ms Nkeki told a Chibok community leader that six of the kidnapped girls had died, but...

Hong Kong Lunar New Year Celebrations Erupt in Violence as Police Clear Food Stalls

Hong Kong's Lunar New Year celebrations have descended into chaos as police leared illegal food stalls set up on a busy junction for Lunar New Year celebrations, leaving dozens injured or arrested. Riot police used batons and pepper spray and fired warning shots into the air early on Tuesday after authorities tried to move illegal street vendors from a district in the city. Protesters hurled bricks at police as scuffles broke out, while other demonstrators set fire to rubbish bins in the streets of Mong Kok, a gritty neighbourhood across the harbour from the heart of the Asian financial centre. A police statement said that three men aged 27 to 35 were arrested for assaulting a police officer and obstructing police, while another three police officers received hospital treatment.
