A pair of filmakers from the D.C. area took home one of last night’s Academy Awards, and managed—by means of footwear—to give a shoutout to Robert Griffin III. The husband-and-wife team of Sean Fine and Andrea Nix took home the Oscar for Best Documentary Short Subject for their film Inocente.

Fine and Nix’s film, which follows the path of a California teenager chasing an artistic dream despite her homelessness and status as an undocumented immigrant, was funded in part through a Kickstarter campaign. It was also shown last year on MTV.

The couple, who DCist interviewed in 2007, were previously nominated for War/Dance, a feature-length documentary about three children living under the Lord’s Resistance Army in northern Uganda.

Fine also brought a bit of Washington with him to the Oscar ceremony last night. Whereas most tuxedo-clad men were likely wearing plain, boring, black socks, Fine opted for a more colorful choice. Underneath his patent leather shoes, Fine sported the Robert Griffin III-branded Adidas socks with the phrase “No pressure, no diamonds,” D.C. Sports Bog notes.
