OTTAWA, Feb. 25, 2013 /CNW/ - Canadians are proud of our artists and
creators who have once again represented our country so well at the
Academy Awards.
Canadians who dedicate themselves to their art are a source of
inspiration and pride. Our Government is pleased to celebrate Canadians
whose outstanding work helps shape our collective identity and
contributes significantly to our national economy.
I would like to applaud this year's Oscar winners:
Best Original Score:
-
Mychael Danna - Life of Pi
Visual Effects:
-
Guillaume Rocheron - Life of Pi
Best Production Design:
I would also like to congratulate all Canadians honoured at the 85th Academy Awards as nominees in several categories.
Congratulations are also in order to Doug James, a Canadian software
developer who was one of the first Academy Award winners of the year.
With his three colleagues Nils Thuerey, Theodore Kim, and Markus Gross,
he won a Technical Achievement Award for developing the Wavelet
Turbulence software.
I congratulate this year's Canadian nominees and winners as they
distinguish themselves on the world stage and strengthen our country's
reputation for cinematic excellence.
