THE Manx contingent involved in the making of animation Chico and Rita will be on the edge of their seats in the early hours of Monday as the Oscar results come in.
Chico and Rita is up for Best Animated Film at the 84th Academy Awards.
It is up against competition from A Cat in Paris, King Fu Panda 2, Puss in Boots and Rango.
CinemaNX’s Steve Christian will be flying the flag for the island at the Kodak Theatre.
CinemaNX co-financed Chico and Rita and distributed the film in the UK in November 2010 to outstanding critical acclaim.
An Isle of Man colour team worked on every frame of the film from an office in Douglas.
