Hayao Miyazaki to be Awarded Lifetime Achievement Oscar
Despite retiring last fall, Hayao Miyazaki has still been keeping busy, with rumors that he is working on a new project, and news that he will receive an honorary award courtesy of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Miyazaki previously won an Oscar in 2002 for Spirited Away, and will be honored this year along with Harry Belafonte, Jean-Cluade Carrière, and Maureen O’Hara at the Academy’s 6th Annual Governors Awards on November 8th in Hollywood.
After receiving numerous accolades recently (including a tribute on The Simpsons last season)there’s no telling what’s next for Miyazaki. Word ‘round the watercooler is that he’s the frontrunner for a Nobel Animation Prize and a knighting by Queen Elizabeth.

Do we know if Hulu will be the only entity to have the dub, or if it will be on other platforms, too? The show in general is definitely going to be on multiple platforms.
