Wes Anderson, among the most celebrated filmmakers of this generation, is finally taking home an Oscar after being seven-times nominated. The eighth was a charm for his live action short The Wonderful Story Of Henry Sugar. He wasn’t able to get there so no acceptance speech.
The 39-minute film based on Roald Dahl’s 1977 short story debuted at Venice and has been settled for some months on Neflix. A fantastical, whimsical distillation of Anderson’s stylized sets and effects, color, humor distilled through great acting.
Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Henry, a wealthy, self-centered young London gentleman who discovers a guru’s mind trick and trains himself over many years to see without using his eyes (including cards). He transforms and uses his newfound gambling wealth to anonymously fund a charitable empire. With Ralph Fiennes, Dev Patel, Ben Kingsley and Richard Ayoade.
The famous cast, and Anderson’s own high profile have caused some griping over his presence in a category where other filmmakers may have more need of recognition.

Nominated for seven Academy Awards, filmmaker Wes Anderson won his first Oscar this past weekend, the Best Live Action Short Film for his 33-minute short, “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar,” starring Benedict Cumberbatch. But during the Oscar ceremony, Anderson was nowhere to be found and couldn’t accept in person.
Johnny Depp is celebrating Robert Downey Jr.‘s win at the 96th Oscars.
After missing the chance to accept his first Oscar in person, following his win for Best Live-Action Short for The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, Wes Anderson has addressed the circumstances surrounding his absence and what he would’ve said in his speech.
Wes Anderson was awarded an Oscar yesterday for his short film, The Wonderful Story Of Henry Sugar, but was not present to accept the award.The 96th Academy Awards took place last night at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles. The ceremony was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, and saw Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer triumph, taking home seven of the prestigious awards.Also securing an award was eight-time nominee Anderson, who won in the category of Best Live Action Short Film for his picture The Wonderful Story Of Henry Sugar.The film, which starred Benedict Cumberbatch, Dev Patel and Ben Kingsley among others, is about a man who possesses the intriguing ability to see through objects, helping him to predict the future and build his fortune through gambling.However, the Fantastic Mr. Fox and Isle Of Dogs creator was not at the ceremony to accept his award or make a speech.
Wes Anderson is officially an Oscar winner, but he wasn’t in attendance to accept his award.
Wes Anderson was first nominated for an Academy Award in 2022 in the Original Screenplay category for “The Royal Tenenbaums.” He’s earned seven nominations since. At the 96th Academy Awards, the celebrated American filmmaker in Paris won his first Oscar in a somewhat unlikely category, Live Action Short.
After so many snubs and just not close enough, Christopher Nolan is finally an Oscar winner. The American-British filmmaker had earned eight nominations before the night began.
Don’t call it a career win because few would argue that Robert Downey, Jr. didn’t deliver one of his best performances ever as Lewis Strauss in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” That immense talent was rewarded with his first Oscar in the Best Supporting Actor category at the 96th Academy Awards.
