So he's barely japanese at all har har.
Setting his home country and culture aside a minute, he's actually a Walt Disney-class artist and director, and that Oscar was practically a lifetime achievement award. He has funny older films like Castle Cagliostro and Kiki's Delivery Service (Not as dirty as it sounds, creex), and now his films regularly outgross Hollywood movies in Japan, and deservedly so. By any standard, they're very, very good.
No one is surprised he didn't show up for the oscar, though, I don't think he accepts awards in his own country, either. He's like 80 or something, and just sort of the stay-at-home sort. He only did interviews for Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away because he has a contractual obligation to do so (Disney owns the North American distribution rights for his work) - I think he talked to Ebert (who also works for Disney) and that was it.
Masamune Shirow is like that, too. The guy kept his day job for years after he got rich making comics. He's an engineer or an architect or something.

That would be awesome if Miyazaki did that at the Oscars.
Did he accept the award? I bet he refuses to learn English but he learned his acceptance speech phonetically.
No, he didn't.

So he refused to even leave Japan I guess to go to a country of gaijins. |
