He worked under the director Isao Takahata for scene planning and key animation for the production of THE LITTLE NORSE PRINCE VALIANT (1968). He then moved to the animation studio A Production with Takahata in 1971 where he worked on the original concept, screenplay, layout design and key animation for PANDA! GO PANDA! (1972). Miyazaki worked at various studios including Zuiyo Eizo with Takahata, Nippon Animation, and Telecom, and did scene planning and layout designs for the TV series HEIDI, A GIRL OF THE ALPS (1974) and FROM THE APENNINES TO THE ANDES (1976), and directed his first TV series CONAN, THE BOY IN FUTURE (1978). He debuted as a director of theatrical features with THE CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO (1979). In 1984, Miyazaki wrote and directed his feature NAUSICAÄ OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND, based on his original graphic novel serialized in the monthly animation magazine “Animage”.Miyazaki co-founded Studio Ghibli in 1985 with Takahata, and has directed nine feature films since, including CASTLE IN THE SKY (1986), MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO (1988), KIKI’S DELIVERY SERVICE (1989), PORCO ROSSO (1992) and PRINCESS MONONOKE (1997). SPIRITED AWAY (2001) broke every box office record in Japan, and garnered many awards, including the Golden Bear at the 2002 Berlin International Film Festival and the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film at the 2003 U.S. Academy Awards. HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE (2004) received the Osella Award at the 2004 Venice International Film Festival. Miyazaki was awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 2005 Venice International Film Festival. He wrote and directed PONYO ON THE CLIFF BY THE SEA (2008). He contributed to the planning and wrote the screenplays for Hiromasa Yonebayashi’s ARRIETTY (2010) and Goro Miyazaki’s FROM UP ON POPPY HILL (2011). In 2012, Miyazaki was named a “Person of Cultural Merit” by The Government of Japan.
Miyazaki has published a number of books of essays, drawings and poems, including “Shuppatsuten 1979-1996 (Starting Point: 1979- 1996, 1996)”.

Oscar honors animator Hayao Miyazaki |
Accepting the trophy, Miyazaki said through a translator that he considered himself lucky, adding, "My greatest luck is that I got to meet Maureen O'Hara today."
The
94-year-old O'Hara was introduced by Liam Neeson and Clint Eastwood,
each of whom confessed to having a crush on the Irish-born beauty.
Neeson described her as "one of the true legends of cinema" and "one of
the most adventurous women who ever lived," explaining the actress was a
pioneer in doing her own stunts on screen.

O'Hara
came to the stage in a wheelchair and read a brief statement of thanks
in which she acknowledged filmmakers Charles Laughton and John Ford,
along with her co-star in several films, John Wayne.
When Neeson handed her the Oscar, she asked in disbelief, "What's this?!"
"I only hope it's silver or gold and not like a spoon out of the kitchen," she said.
Carriere
accepted his Oscar from "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" director,
Philip Kaufman. The French screenwriter lauded the many directors he's
collaborated with over his five decades in film, saying, "They're always
present, even today. When I'm working, I hear their voices."
Chris
Rock and Susan Sarandon introduced Belafonte, who received the Jean
Hersholt Humanitarian Award for his decades of activism for social
justice.
"I'm not here to honor you," Rock said. "I'm here to thank you."
Sarandon called the 87-year-old entertainer "a real-life, flesh and blood hero."
Belafonte said he was moved by the recognition.
"To
be rewarded by my peers for my work for human rights, civil rights and
for peace... It powerfully mutes the enemy's thunder," he said.
He shared the honor with Poitier, whom he referred to as "my elderly friend."
"He redirected the ship of racial hatred in American culture," Belafonte said.
He
spoke of Hollywood's progress toward telling stories that offer "deeper
insights into human existence," such as "Schindler's List," ''Brokeback
Mountain," and "12 Years a Slave," and film's far-reaching ability to
influence popular opinion.
"Maybe, just maybe, it could be civilization's game-changer," he said.
The
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences established the Governors
Awards in 2009 to celebrate the annual winners of its honorary awards.
Highlights from the ceremony will be included in the 2015 Oscar
telecast.
