February 27, 2005 – The Pixar Film The Incredibles Wins Two Academy Awards
“Animation is about creating the illusion of life, and you can’t create it if you don’t have one.” – Brad Bird at his acceptance speech
On February 27, 2005, the 77th Academy Awards were held at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, California. Nominated for four Academy Awards, the sixth Pixar film, The Incredibles, walked away with two, including Best Animated Feature, beating out DreamWorks’ Shark Tale and Shrek 2.
