Wes Anderson Wins His First Oscar For ‘The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar’

Buy Me A Coffee

Guess what? Wes Anderson just bagged himself an Oscar! But hold your applause, because he pulled a disappearing act faster than you can say “quirky filmmaking.”

Our favorite whimsical director snagged the coveted Best Live Action Short Film award for his latest masterpiece, “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.” And guess what? You don’t even need to leave your couch to catch it—it’s on Netflix right now, sandwiched between your seventh rewatch of “The Office” and that documentary about cheese making.

Now, this isn’t Wes’ first rodeo with the Academy. Nope, he’s been sashaying down that red carpet more times than we can count. He’s been nominated for everything from “The Royal Tenenbaums” to “Isle of Dogs,” racking up more nods than your grandma’s antique porcelain doll collection.

But here’s the plot twist: Wes was nowhere to be found at the ceremony. Yep, while the glitterati were busy clinking champagne glasses and practicing their gracious loser faces, our boy Wes was probably chilling at home, pondering the meaning of life or meticulously arranging his vintage action figures.

So, why the heck wasn’t he there to bask in the glory of his golden statue? Well, according to host Jimmy Kimmel, Wes was probably off doing something Wes-ish. You know, like meticulously crafting a diorama made entirely out of corduroy or staging a Wes Anderson-style tea party with his pet dachshund and a gang of impeccably dressed woodland creatures.

Oh, Wes, you enigmatic genius, you. We may never understand your quirky ways, but hey, as long as you keep churning out those cinematic gems, we’ll forgive you for ghosting Hollywood’s biggest night.
