once again, lego got shafted

If far right doesn't win there is no god in the world

...who the fuck am I kidding, it'll be either second from the left or center.

You Name is garbage though
>it's a "film would be considered mediocre but it's anime so weebs eat it up" episode
CHANGE THE CHANNEL

what is far right? I remember hearing about it a year ago, but nothing ever since.

ignoring shit from 2016 that didn't get released in the US until 2017 because I can't keep track of that shit

Loving Vincent
The Night is Short, Walk on Girl
Coco
The Lego Batman Movie
Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie

>stuff I haven't seen from 2017 because they aren't out in U.S. in 2017, or are out but only in places I don't live, but that seem to be Oscar worthy

The Breadwinner
Wolfwalkers
Mary and the Witch's Flower
The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales

It's Loving Vincent. The entire movie was made from 15,000 or some actual paintings. It took 5 years to make.

Haven't seen it but It's definitely Kino material.

That man is going to father an entire generation of children with questionable hairstyles.

Those are the golden globes though, which are even more pleb than the oscars when it comes to animation.

>Ferdinand

I think Boss Baby and/or Ferdinand will be replaced by one or two of these at the Oscars.

Your Name had a good animation, the rest was retarded

Holy shit this.

Discussing the “give Disney/Pixar an award” award should be a bannable offense.

FUCK THE OSCARS

why didn't they just look at the calendar

>SAO

the fuck outta here

>mfw there are people out there who don't honestly believe that Disney doesn't deserve winning the Oscars every year.

>thinking filthy gaijins and their opinions are worth anything

I saw it and was completely staggered throughout the entire runtime. The beautiful art even made me forget that the story wasn't very inspired. Go see it and throw some money to the creators by getting the DVD or renting it, since its genuinely a miracle something like this exists in the fist place. I can guarantee the same can't be said about the other contenders for the oscars.

deadline.com/2017/11/coco-despicable-me-3-cars-3-animation-features-oscars-2018-1202205865/

He didn't say it was good, just that it was likely for the movie to be an Oscar contender.
But yeah, the SAO movie was really bad.

Go back to cry about your 2D waifu.

TG?

>Your Name
>garbage

>implying the oscars care about animated films

>thinking the oscars give a shit about non-Disney animation studios
Honestly it's probably even a stretch to say that most of them even care about the Disney movies

Which is second from left?

People are so tired of CGI animation of everybody have giant noses and legos. This why every care about the oscars with animes.

>it’s a “I haven’t watched it, but if it’s animated by Japanese in a certain style it is shit” episode

walk on girl was great, but there's no way a niche film like that wins anything

i'm hoping for the van gogh piece or coco desu

Saw it last weekend, was pretty damn good. Especially the transitions between scenes could be very novel. Very vibrant colours, good sound design, the whole thing just popped.

>SAO
Just WHY?

If I was a weeb, I'd be accusing the oscar members of racism/xenophobia for excluding anime. It worked with the #OscarsSoWhite stunt.

Coco was kino
Ferdinand peta/10 (still love it)
But if i had to choose one of all the animated movies i would say
声の形 (a silent voice) it was too beautiful and hit me hard on the feels

this, especially giving a shit about the oscars for fucking animation

They should just give Disney one of these every year then.

Walt Disney Animation Studios didn't win at the Oscars until Frozen.

At any rate:

>Finding Nemo
Tokyo Godfathers was awesome, but I'll admit that I'm not the biggest fan of The Triplets of Belleville (I prefer the illusionist by a wide margin). I'm not terribly upset at Finding Nemo winning, though.
>The Incredibles
I'm fine with The Incredibles winning, but Mind Game was more innovative with its animation. Howl's Moving Castle isn't Miyazaki's best, and Team America was hilarious but not exactly Oscar worthy. Also Shrek is overrated.
>Ratatouille
I actually think Ratatouille is grossly overrated. Persopolis should have won. 5 Centimeters per Second is good, but not the best thing Shinkai has ever done.
>WALL-E
Well, Waltz with Bashir was probably disqualified for being a documentary. Disney's Bolt was underwhelming and Kung Fu Panda is overrated. I prefer Ponyo to WALL-E but I'm not really angry about WALL-E winning.
>Up
This is a tough one, because Up really is a great Pixar movie, but so much great animated shit came out in 2009. Coraline, Mary and Max, The Secret of Kells, Summer Wars, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and The Princess and the Frog would have all been deserving winners. It hurts that all of these got snubbed, but I can't actually complain about Up winning.
>Toy Story 3
Personally, I prefer Tangled to Toy Story 3. The Illusionist should have won, but it has the controversy with Tati's daughters surrounding it. Surviving Life was awesome but nobody watches Svankmajer outside of Alice. Arrietty and Chico & Rita were good but not winner-worthy.
>Brave
As someone who actually liked Brave, this is probably the one Pixar win that feels completely undeserved. Wreck-It Ralph was clearly a better film, not to mention Ernest & Celestine, Pirates, ParaNorman, Wolf Children, and It's Such a Beautiful Day. Whereas Up could compete with the other films, Brave is in an entire lower tier compared with the other 2012 animated films.

pt. 1

pt. 2

>Frozen
I fucking loved Frozen (I know) and it's my favorite film of Disney's neo-Renaissance. However, I also loved The Congress, which was probably the most ambitious and deserving film from 2013. Miyazaki is already out of retirement so The Wind Rises, while great, isn't his last film (again). Also The Tale of the Princess Kaguya was better than The Wind Rises.
>Big Hero 6
I liked Big Hero 6, but like Brave it didn't deserve to win. When Marnie Was There and The Boxtrolls were admittedly underwhelming coming from their studios, but Song of the Sea was great and should have won.
>Inside Out
Inside Out is my favorite Pixar film (I know). The only real competition for me from 2015 is Anomalisa, even though Shaun the Sheep, The Little Prince, and The Boy and the Beast were pretty good as well. Still, no complaints here about Inside Out winning.
>Zootopia
I loved Zootopia, but I loved Moana more. However, A Silent Voice was the best film of the year. Your Name and Kubo and the Two Strings were great, but not as good as A Silent Voice. Finding Dory was good but a little underwhelming. I still have to watch My Life as a Zucchini, The Red Turtle, and In This Corner of the World. Ballerina looked like shit.

...

>implying anyone watched Ballerina besides Brad Jones for his website, little girls with no taste and people with a mediocre loli fetish

>needing validation from an award committee that is full of old farts who sell themselves out to the highest bidder

Fuck the Oscars.

Either they're talking about >>/tg/ or my fetish.

A Silent Voice and In This Corner of the World are realistic.

Mary and the Witch's Flower isn't actually Ghibli so it's not getting shit, Napping Princess wasn't that well-received, and...fucking SAO? Not a chance.

God bless CJ Parker for going to Japan.

>the boss baby
>no captain underpants

>not giving a shit about the Oscars

>giving a shit about the oscars

fpbp

The oscars are the sole reason this company exists.

I recall "A Silent Voice" was on the long list for Best Picture, actually.

I lost the little interest of it after the obviously staged incident.

>Boss baby
Are they literally retarded? Or did someone hack the Oscar server or something?

>Nobody has posted Vidya Wiseau yet
I'm a little disappointed and a whole lot surprised.

You are probably joking but I unironically agree. The academy has openly admitted to not giving the least bit of a fuck about the award and votes have literally been chosen based on what the voter's children/grandchildren saw or what movie's billboard looked the best.

If the Academy doesn't give a shit, why should we?

So will Loving Vincent be called "Kino fucking shit"?

I don't give a shit about the Oscars.
I like complaining, though.

And that's not the only thing, remembere what happened with La La Land? I didn't find it that good of a movie but the whole fiasco seemed sketchy as fuck. I personally stopped caring about the Oscars after Frozen won but

>hold my sapporo
Isn't that a city? Do people say "hold my new york"? Or "hold my paris"?

My little pony the movie.
It's an 8/10 at best but it woulf be worth it to see the autistic screaching.
Although I will be mad if it doesn't get any song nominations.

>sword art online the movie
But that was fucking shit.

Breadwinner. It's a ripoff of osama with a happier endinh.

Visually Batman had not much new going for it, and was even more of a toy commercial than the first movie, I'm okay with it missing out on nominations.

i dont even want it to win, just to be nominated,to make up for the lego movie fiasco.

Sadly this didn't used to be the case. Then they followed the Oscars' lead in creating a separate category for animated movies and it's been all downhill since.

>The Tale of the Princess Kaguya
god i'm still mad about that

I'm gonna predict Coco will get a best picture nom on top of best animation, but it'll only win the latter (duh).

boss baby will win

>will get a best picture nom
When was the last time an animated movie got a best picture nomination? I'm fairly certain it was when they made the best animation category to begin with, though I recall that not being completely true.

Is it possible to Sad Puppy the Oscars in a way that only deserving films get nominated, leaving out Disney and Pixar to prevent bias-voting?

you know, i do wonder if they're planning on giving an oscar to a Nip movie. its been 16 years since spirited away, and that was disney anyway with its distribution. maybe they've sensed by now that people consider the category to be a joke?

Lu Over the Wall or Night is Short, Walk On Girl.

Animation and story was PHENOMENAL in both.

Toy Story 3 was the last time, and I think the only other time was Beauty and the Beast

Too bad no one bothered to submit those.

Correction: Up is also on that list, and Waltz With Bashir was nominated for Best Foreign if we're counting that (why foreign films were always relegated to a separate category always baffled me)

>thinking

You seem to not understand the situation. The whole reason the animated feature oscar exists is to give Disney a prestigious award. Disney is a major industry contributor, yet the majority of their best work was historically snubbed because the Academy does not consider animation to be "real film". And they still don't. But its politically important to appease Disney, so the animated feature award was created for them. They tote out a few random titles every year but it almost always goes to Disney or Pixar (who is owned by Disney now).

If the Academy actually gave a shit they'd allow animated films to compete in best picture, not to mention the actor categories, but they don't. They have it separated in its own little ghetto because it's a quota award.

Americas a dumb-ass when it comes to """lesser known""" non-mainstream shit. Having seen what there is to compete with, these two honestly blow them all out of the water. (except maybe Loving Vincent. Also incredible.) It's a real shame.

The Academy doesn't give a single fuck about animation. That's why they made a pity award to shut up the animation industry, so they don't try to interrupt the rest of the awards.

>If the Academy actually gave a shit they'd allow animated films to compete in best picture, not to mention the actor categories, but they don't

Technically they do, but they've also realized there's an internal bias so strong that one would never win, hence the category.

And by creating the category they give everyone an excuse to never vote for those movies outside of it, because "they already have their own award they don't need another one".

I can tell you don't watch much anime

>give everyone an excuse to never vote for those movies outside of it

That was never going to happen anyway. You can find the actual voting notes for past years online regarding animated films, and the number that cite "my kid enjoyed it" or "I found the poster least offensive" as the reason behind the vote is an absolute travesty. This is not a population that can be educated on animation because they simply don't want to be, adding or omitting categories won't change that.

But now that the category is open for voting for the entire academy and not just the animation branch (likely mostly composed of Disney people), something like this could happen:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sad_Puppies

>why foreign films were always relegated to a separate category always baffled me
Ostensibly the same reason animation is: the provide a specific category for recognition when otherwise they'd be drowned out by domestic/non-animated movies. Of course, this also tends to mean they don't end up in the other more general categories anyway because they have a specific category and thus reinforces the ghetto they were meant to address.

t means even more normies are going to vote for coco because it had un poco loco.

im not a big fan of anime or a weeb but as a sort of arty cunt who loves cross-over things, paradoxically hope oscar doesnt ever touch anime. weebs would rather enjoy or expect the self-imploding of western values, and me too.

its actually funny to see massively biased critiques toward western stuff everywhere these days and very nonsensical criticisms of japanese stuff. it really has become ideologically or nationalistic driven. those critics in the liberal side and in power never ever do critical thinking anymore but just are entirely stand for the western values, which are made of total commercialism and trends provided by big companies, irresponsible media and the loud minorities on sns. to me they look more jingoistic and heavily western centric than the alt-right. i think the damage has been done, they cant fix it anymore.

That's my whole point. The category is a joke, it doesn't fucking matter because the Academy doesn't fucking care. Do you even read?

It literally does not matter. The category is just for Disney because nobody in the academy cares about animation.

But there may be a segment of the academy who's fed up with Disney's social agendas and always hogging that award, and they may side with other movies.

i bet this happens every year

Based Boss Baby the true kino of cinema

I think it's evident I read given I've quoted you in each post I've made. It's not been an argument over the fact that the Academy doesn't care, I've just disagreed with how you're framing it is all.
