Hair Love Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

Hair Love filmmaker Matthew A. Cherry and Chaz Bottoms, who worked on John Legend’s animated Facebook series Dear John: Legendary Love Letters, have teamed up to develop an animated musical comedy series.

Back in 2016, Matthew A. Cherry put out a call on Twitter looking for 3D artists to help with a project. On Sunday, Cherry was standing on the stage of the Dolby Theatre celebrating his Oscar win for best animated short for “Hair Love.”

Matthew A Cherry’s Tweet from 2012 hoping to one day be nominated for an Oscar has gone viral after he won.

Deandre Arnold, the high school student who was suspended for refusing to cut his dreadlocks, arrived at the 92nd Oscars as “Hair Love” director Matthew A. Cherry’s guest.

We are about to head into the big Oscar weekend and here’s a look at one of the films nominated in the Best Animated Short category, Sony Pictures Animation’s Hair Love, which is online in its entirety.
