The BBC is celebrating the success of two films at the 95th Academy Awards, which were announced at the annual ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday night.

The award for Short Film (Animated) went to The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and the Horse, based on Charlie Mackesy’s internationally best-selling illustrated children's book reimagined in full colour with hand-drawn traditional animation. The film was commissioned by BBC’s Chief Content Officer Charlotte Moore and captivated BBC audiences at Christmas.

BBC Storyville’s Navalny - Daniel Roher’s thrilling and timely film about Russia's opposition leader, Alexei Navalny - took home the Documentary Feature Film award. Fellow Documentary nominee A House Made of Splinters was also backed by Storyville, the BBC's international feature documentary strand.

Charlotte Moore, BBC’s Chief Content Officer says: “Massive congratulations to the two BBC-backed Oscar winners, we’re so proud to have played a part in these extraordinary films and demonstrate our commitment to bringing world class storytelling to audiences. The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and the Horse captivated audiences on the BBC at Christmas and Navalny, a BBC Storyville film.”
