This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Boy and the Heron beat Disney's Elemental and Spider-Man Across the Spider-verse to win the Best Animated Feature Film prize.
Set during World War Two, the semi-autobiographical film is about a boy who meets a mysterious speaking heron after losing his mother.
The co-founder of Japanese animation house Studio Ghibli won his first Oscar in 2003 for Spirited Away, about a girl who tries to save her parents who are turned into pigs - making it the first non-English animated film to win the title.
Spirited Away went on to become Japan's highest grossing movie of all time and held the record for 19 years.
My Neighbor Totoro, a film about two sisters and their mystical animal friend is also among Japan's most popular and has become the mascot of the production house.
In 2014, Miyazaki - who has been dubbed the godfather of animation - received an honorary Oscar in recognition of his storytelling.
