Guillermo del Toro on Winning an Oscar for Pinocchio & Shopping with Steven Spielberg & J.J. Abrams

Guillermo talks about winning an Oscar for Pinocchio, starting stop motion at eight years old, everybody in Mexico thinking that R2D2’s name was “Arturito,” losing his wallet and taking to Twitter for help finding it, his Oscar category being the first of the night, and going to a hobby shop in Burbank with J.J. Abrams & Steven Spielberg.

[@victoralarcon6351]

Can’t help smiling when listening to him. He’s so proud of being Mexican from Guadalajara and he encourages other Mexicans to follow him. Talent is everywhere, you just have to cultivate it, but I’m glad this puts México in a position of honor. Congratulations Guillermo. You’re a real influencer.

[@yibril2254]

Too bad he had to move away from Guadalajara thanks to the criminals

My friend is a filmmaker and GDT is his favorite director. He recently moved to LA to chase his dream. He met GDT at an event and he said he was the best. He talked to my friend for about 30 minutes and gave him all sorts of advice and wished him luck. It’s been over a year and my friend still riding that high. He genuinely seems like a good guy.
