New York University Alumnus In Oscars

New York University Tisch School of the Arts’ alumnus Mark Bridges (’87) was a winner last night (28th Feb, 2012) at the 84th Academy Awards ceremony, held in Los Angeles, when he walked away with the Oscar for Best Costume Design for his work on The Artist. By the end of the night, The Artist won five awards including the top prize for Best Picture. The film tied with NYU alumnus Martin Scorsese’s Hugo for the total number of Oscars won. Both films paid tribute to early cinema.

Tisch School alumnus Billy Crystal (’70) hosted the Oscar telecast, his ninth as the master of ceremonies of Hollywood’s top awards.

In all, nine alumni from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts (TSOA), Gallatin School of Individualized Study, and the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development were among the NYU nominees for the 84th Academy Awards.
