The Oscars are “finally here—it’s been like anticipating Christmas seven months in advance,” said an excited The Croods co-director Chris Sanders, who received his third Oscar nomination this year.
Sanders was among the guests at a DreamWorks Animation brunch celebrating the year’s animation and visual effects Oscar nominees, Saturday at Fig & Olive in West Hollywood.
Also in attendance was his Croods co-director Kirk De Micco, who joked that he’d be donning “Caveman couture” in honor of the prehistoric set movie, while the film’s producer Kristine Belson said she would be wearing Carolina Herrera.
