Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio Wins Best Animated Feature Oscar!

After wining a slew of awards and accolades the last few months, Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio took home the Oscar for Best Animated Feature at last night's 95th Academy Awards. 


This marks the Henson Company's very first Oscar after being nominated in 1966 for Time Piece and 1979 for "The Rainbow Connection." While Disney / The Muppets won Best Song for "Man or Muppet" on 2011, the Henson Company didn't have any involvement. 

You can watch Guillermo's acceptance speech below where he was once again joined on stage by Lisa Henson.


Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio is steaming now on Netflix.
