Wes Anderson Stop Motion Acceptance Speech

Last night The National Board of Review held their annual awards ceremony. At the ceremony Wes Anderson was honoured with the “Special Filmmaking Achievement” award for his movie The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Instead of giving a standard speech, Mr. Anderson decided to create a stop-motion acceptance, depicting himself in the character of the weasel that he played in the movie. I thought it was a really clever way of giving the traditional boring acceptance speech a new spin... and was an effective way of making me want to watch the film all over again.
