Wes AndersonThis week the National Board of Review gave Wes Anderson (left, click to enlarge) a Special Filmmaking Achievement Award in recognition of the fabulous stop motion artistry exhibited in the quirk-laden director’s new flick Fantastic Mr Fox. Check out Anderson’s rather fantastic acceptance speech below, in which he decided to “express my gratitude through the same medium as our film, which is in stop motion, which is like what I am right now.”
