The touching animated short features a black father who learns how to do his young daughter's hair while his wife is in the hospital
Director Matthew A. Cherry and producer Karen Rupert Toliver took the stage to accept the award for the picture, which tells the touching story of a black father who learns how to do his young daughter’s hair while his wife is in the hospital.
“Thank you so much to the Academy and everybody out there who supported this film — there were lots of you,” said Toliver. “We share this award with you.” “There were so many filmmakers that worked so hard on this, and it was a labor of love,” she continued. “It was because we have a firm belief that representation matters deeply. Especially in cartoons, because in cartoons — that’s when we first see our movies and it’s how we shape our lives and think about how we see the world.”
