I felt so good for those two men, whom I feel did get a 'body of work' prize. Regardless, I was so happy for them, and they looked very pleasantly surprised and elated.
Though I never did figure out who they were to state , or show, was the voice of Wallace.

I, too, was elated at Nick Park & Steve Box winning for W&G. They so deserved it as the film was wonderful. Peter Sallis was shown, albeit only briefly. He was the elderly man with the red vest (I think it was red) the camera panned only for a few moments. Sallis actually took to the stage for the BAFTA award a few weeks back, he's in his 80's and was rather unsteady on his feet. I suspect that was part of why he did not make the stage last night. I think it was wonderful of Park and Box to bring him along to acknowledge his contribution to the magic and appeal of W&G by his vocal art.
Which is considerable if you ask me.
Here is a picture of Peter Sallis, must be about 10 or so years back. Genial fellow to be sure.
