> “Flow’s” Golden Globe award is also a win for the democratization of the animation process. The film was created using Blender, a free, open-source software widely used by independent and amateur animators. This marks the first time a Blender-made production has won the Golden Globe for animated feature, proving that major success in the medium is, at least theoretically, open to all creators, not just those working in the studio system.



Yeah, there's essentially nothing in the article that isn't stated in the post title. That's the downside of a post which is about a tidbit within a longer article, rather than a post linking to an article entirely about its subject.


That doesn’t preclude the articles relevance though. It would be strange/disappointing for the first Golden Globe awarded to a Blender-animated picture to not be submitted; even in-spite of the title and lack of elaboration in the article.


I think we have different assumptions.

My hope/assumption is that somewhere there is/will be a much better article about this fact, and that should be the one that gets submitted.
