London-based PR maven Matthew Freud, joined by fellow Brit and collaborator Charlie Mackesy, offered his apologies for winning the Oscar for Short Film (Animated) for The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and the Horse.
“I’ve never made a film before, so this is bewildering,” Freud said in accepting the trophy. “I know the protocol is to say ‘thank you’ a lot, but I’m British, so I’m more comfortable saying ‘sorry.’ So, I’m really sorry to all the people who should be on this stage with us,” alluding to the large crew and voice cast who teamed up for two years during Covid to make the film. Freud closed by quipping that he was “also really sorry to my children, my girlfriend and my colleagues at [PR firm] Freuds for basically being absent over the last two years.”
The Boy came into Oscar night as a heavy favorite in the category.

Fast National ratings for Friday, Feb. 14, 2014
It's no surprise that the 2014 Winter Olympics dominated television on Friday, Feb. 14. With almost all other networks showing repeats or Charlie Brown specials, there wasn't much chance of toppling the Winter Games. Even new episodes of "Enlisted" and "Raising Hope" on Fox didn't stand much of chance.
The Olympics dipped somewhat in viewers between Thursday and Friday, even with the highly anticipated men's figure-skating finals. An average of 19.1 million viewers tuned in to the NBC primetime broadcast.
Still, that number dwarfed the nearest competition, a repeat of "Hawaii Five-0" on CBS at 9 p.m. Dismal numbers for new programming were represented by "Enlisted" (1.8 million viewers), "Raising Hope" (1.5 million) and "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" (0.86 million).
Overall, NBC's 19.1 million viewers led to a 11.0 rating/19 share in households. CBS followed with 5.4 million viewers (3.5/6). ABC (4.3 million, 2.8/5), Fox (2.4 million, 1.5/3) and The CW (0.67 million, 0.5/1) brought up the rear.

This week, I caught ABC's re-airing of A Charlie Brown Valentine, the 2002 sequel to 1978's Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown. This was the first original special aired after Peanuts creator Charles Schulz's death. It draws a lot from the old comic strips, but as a result, it's really disjointed and hard to follow. Still, there's nothing like a half-hour dose of Charlie Brown-iness to put things in perspective. Take a look, and let us know if you have adorable/tragic Chuck tendencies yourself. Happy holidays. 10 Adorable/Tragic Things Charlie Brown Says in 'A Charlie Brown Valentine' To candy store cashier: "Hi,...
