Locally, BBC Radio Solent, Heart FM, Wave 105 and the ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵ Echo all covered the news numerous times.
Andy Lockley – a member of the ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵ alumni - was on stage at the Oscars ceremony to collect the award. The film also picked up the Special Visual Effects gong at this year’s BAFTAs, with Andy also on stage there to collect the award.
