Paul Lambert and Tristan Myles are seeing plenty of stars as of late, taking home awards Sunday (Feb. 24) at the celebrity-laden Oscars for work on the Neil Armstrong biopic First Man.
The Vancouver-based Brits were among the four winners in the Best Visual Effects category who took to the stage during the 91st Academy Awards鈥� broadcast.
鈥淲hat a truly magnificent moment. We did things a little bit differently on First Man and being recognized by the Academy is all the more special,鈥� Lambert, a visual effects supervisor at DNEG鈥檚 麻豆传媒映画office, said during the live broadcast.
鈥淎nd a big shout-out to Michelle Eisenreich, Rupert Porter and my people at DNEG Vancouver.鈥�
Eisenreich is a Vancouver-based executive producer at Double Negative.
Digital effects supervisor Myles also acknowledged DNEG鈥檚 B.C. team during his acceptance speech.
鈥淭hanks to the crew at DNEG without whose hard work we wouldn鈥檛 be [standing] up here tonight,鈥� he said.
It鈥檚 the second Best Visual Effects Oscar for Lambert in as many years after he won in 2018 for his work on the sci-fi movie Blade Runner 2049.
Coincidentally, Canadian actor Ryan Gosling stars in the lead role in both First Man and Blade Runner 2049.
