SPEECH BY: Andrew Whitehurst, Paul Norris, Mark Ardington and Sara Bennett FILM: Ex Machina 88TH OSCARS ONSTAGE SPEECH: VISUAL EFFECTS Congratulations to @andrewrjw Paul Norris, Mark Ardington and Sara Bennett from Whom You Know!
ANDREW WHITEHURST:
I’m really bad at predicting this, apparently. This is so utterly unexpected. Visual effects is massively a team game, more so maybe than any other department. And we have to thank people in two directions: we’ve got to thank the studio, we’ve got to thank the production. We’ve got to thank Alex for being an amazing director. We have to thank Alicia for being Ava. And we have to thank the teams of artists, production and technical personnel at Double Negative, Milk VFX, and Utopia, who are amazing. Without them we are nothing. Thank you so, so much.
MARK ARDINGTON:
Thank you.
