While many prominent folks won their first Oscars on Sunday – including “Oppenheimer” alums Robert Downey Jr. and Christopher Nolan – one came and went in a flash: Wes Anderson. The “Rushmore” and “Grand Budapest Hotel” filmmaker had been nominated for seven Academy Awards before in categories ranging from Best Picture to Best Director to Best Original Screenplay, but his first win came on Sunday in the Best Live Action Short Film category for his Roald Dahl adaptation “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.”
But Wes Anderson wasn’t there to accept the trophy for his Netflix release, and the telecast moved right along.
