"While accepting her award, Kang dedicated her win "to Koreans everywhere," apologizing that it took so long "for those who look like me" to see themselves represented in a film such as the Netflix smash hit. The film, directed by Kang and Chris Appelhans and produced by Michelle L.M. Wong is the most-viewed film in Netflix history."
"The Girl Who Cried Pearls is a haunting tale about an impoverished boy who falls in love with a girl who weeps pearls at night. It's set in Montreal at the dawn of the 20th century. During their acceptance speech, Lavis jested that it's not easy living with people who make puppet films."
"Canadians Jordan Samuel and Cliona Furey were part of the team that won the Oscar for best makeup and hairstyling for their work on Frankenstein. The Toronto-based craftspeople won alongside English artist Mike Hill for helping director Guillermo del Toro reimagine Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic classic."
Canadian filmmakers achieved significant success at the Oscars, with Toronto-based Maggie Kang winning best animated feature for KPop Demon Hunters, Netflix's most-viewed film in history. Kang dedicated her award to Korean representation in media. Montreal filmmakers Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski won best animated short for The Girl Who Cried Pearls, a haunting story set in early 20th-century Montreal about an impoverished boy and a girl who weeps pearls. During their acceptance speech, Lavis humorously noted the patience required to live with someone making puppet films. Additionally, Toronto-based makeup and hairstyling craftspeople Jordan Samuel and Cliona Furey contributed to the best makeup and hairstyling Oscar for Frankenstein, directed by Guillermo del Toro.
