Hey guys, just wanted to stop by and wish you guys a Happy Holidays! Get a ton of presents, and have fun with family and friends. Also, make sure to get your family and friends some FotC cheer.
Congrats go out to the Flight of the Conchords for winning the 2010 New Zealand Comedy Guild Achievement Decade Award. They really deserved it. It seems the guys are actually getting a ton of awards lately. I really hope they win them all.
Just a quick post about some great news, because today has been pretty busy day news-wise and I want to keep this blog and my other one, World of Taika, with fresh news and on time.
To start with, here's a new trailer for Rio, a new animated movie where Jemaine voices one of the birdy characters. You won't miss him ;)
And Bret has been officially confirmed to star in a New Zealand film Two Little Boys directed by Robert Sarkies, who directed Out of the Blue and Scarfies (both movies have my personal recommendation). Two Little Boys is based on a book on the same name by his brother, Duncan Sarkies, who also wrote a couple episodes of Flight of the Conchords. Read more about it here.
Anyway, I've read the book. It's great and I couldn't imagine anyone else as Nige but Bret. Total WIN!
The highest honor given for excellence in animation.
Bret and Jemaine along with their friends, Tim Long and Alf Clausen, have been nominated for an Annie award in the Individual Achievement Category: Music in a Television Production. The International Animated Film Society was kind enough to give a recognition of how awesome their music was in The Simpsons: Elementary School Musical.
The awards ceremony is on February 5, 2011 in L.A. Full list of the nominations is here.
Congratulations, Guys! I really hope you'll win, because you totally deserve it!
