The Academy has always valued stop motion fr more than actual animation. This goes all the way back to the original King Kong.

>caring about the oscars, emmys, or any of the other elitist circlejerks
Julian Morgan
>the oscars is a divine event which has the ultimate authority on good movies
Isaiah Young
see jackie chan movies. Yes may have close to no acting range but he movies are pure entertainment
Blake Cook
If anything it's the Academy which should be embarassed.
William Sanders
Do the Oscars care about Japan in any way? Is it even world wide? I dont care about it enough to know.
Caleb Murphy
Oscars are decided by about 6,000 people that work in the American movie industry. They are predominantly white and median age is over 60. That answers your question.
That was due to heavy shilling by Disney since they had no movie of their own that year and they're partnered with Ghibli. If Disney didn't push for it, it probably wouldn't have received a nomination, let alone a win.
How do we kick them out to retirement and get the younger generation to take over?
Logan Thompson
You can't, it says in that article that membership is for life.
Justin Flores
>Implying the oscar people watch the movies instead of just going eeny, meeny, miny, moe to pick one
They have gone on record admittng they don't watch animation, user. So their opinion is irrelevant.
Thomas Allen
Pretty much, I remember hearing multiple people saying that it was made by Disney. I doubt most people that watched it knew that it was an Original Work by Ghibli, not just a English dub with distribution.
Adrian Foster
>Oscar nomination
Daniel Taylor
But they have a 'Best Animated Feature Category'. Why even have it at that point, Disney/Pixar win most of the time anyway.
Carter Gray
The Oscars shouldn't really be paid attention to, when it comes to animation. Try festivals like Hiroshima, Annecy, OIAF, Zagreb, etc. or awards like the Noboro Ofuji prize.
Jaxson Rodriguez
The whole ceremony, not just the animation award, is just for Hollywood to party and pat themselves on the back.
Josiah Gomez
>Oscar nomination
Ryder Wood
...
Charles Adams
that anime movie was fucking trash anyway dude. Only shounen is worth anything these days to the West. Rest is just a bunch of faggotry.
Mason Ramirez
Well if J. J. Abrams is doing a live action its already BTFO this Zucchini shit, let's be real here.
Literally no normalfags gives a shit about that, Oscars is what matters to the average joe
Robert Rivera
...
Jonathan Jenkins
This. Notice how every other Ghibli movie that got nominated lost against Disney flicks.
Eli Fisher
>The Oscars shouldn't really be paid attention to, when it comes to animation.
Or when it comes to anything anymore. It's already known that not even the voters that make their choice for "Best Picture" even watch all of the nominees.
Cameron Powell
Isn't that the whole point of complaining about the Oscars? That they're average joes who can't into animation?
Ian Sanders
>REEE FUCK OFF HOLLYWOOD WITH YOUR LIVE ACTIONS. DON'T TOUCH MUH ANIMES >REEE HOLLYWOOD WHY WON'T YOU NOTICE THIS ANIME
Luke Richardson
It's just another teenage romance drama isn't?
I will be mad if something different gets owned.
Brayden Long
Why should anyone care about what normalfags think.
Josiah Martin
Wasn't Lilo & Stitch nominated that year?
Julian Scott
I stopped caring about Oscar after How to train your dragon lost to TS3. I'm still mad.
Jacob Ross
To give a semblance of justice to the entertainment world?
Isaac Ward
Did they have access to subs before they chose the nominees? Because if not obviously they couldn't pick it sight unseen.
Josiah Jackson
I am going to watch this weeb favorite tomorrow night and I hope it lives up to the hype you fucks are showing.
Noah Davis
Is it????? Oh hell no....... First you guys scream about Koe no Katachi everywhere and it ends up being the same anime bullshit like always, they even have anime intros in full feature movies. What the fuck is wrong with those guys? Are they so stuck in their formula that they can't do something in any different format properly?
Ah well... I already bought the ticket anyway, so I am going to watch Kimi no na Wa regardless
I hope you didn't spoil anything for yourself beforehand. It's a hard hitter if you don't know what's coming.
Kayden Mitchell
this is a really dumb idea for a thread m8
also anyone with a measure of awareness doesn't care about award shows
Angel Reyes
Ah yes, because the opinion of Hollywood kikes matters so much in today's world. Especially after this week's news of a pedophilic movie kike being ousted by dishonest newspaper kikes.
>inb4 gb2 , nazifag
Do I need to link that article about the Kimi no Na Wa live-action adaptation with JJ Abrams, to remind you again that I was right about hollywood jews?
Logan Hill
>>>/reddit/
Kayden Phillips
This. There's a reason why it's called the disney award
Adam Bell
And Treasure Planet
Brody Perez
I am going totally blind and expect to keep it like this until the moment I finally sit there at the cinema and start watching it
Ryder Reyes
you are right, and (((Hollywood adaptations))) are just a psyop for Jews to reach into Japan but nobody listens until it's too late
Easton Rivera
>white
Jackson Cook
Zucchini was a better film than Your Name though.
Noah Nguyen
They had that year Lilo and Stitch and Treasure Planet, but keep telling yourself that.
>Guess which one got an Oscar nomination? The one whose US releases was handled by people who understand the process needed to get an Oscar Nomination. There's more to the game than "show your film in an LA theater for one week" and Funimation doesn't understand how any of it works.
Christian Sanders
My favorite meme.
Christopher Howard
What do you want them to be called then? Beige or pink-ish?
Robert Taylor
See, it's not about whether the merit of the movie.
Disney gets prestige and more cash, Oscars get cash from Disney. Rinse and repeat every year.
Elijah Wright
I wonder who nominated it?
Gabriel Carter
>Especially after this week's news of a pedophilic movie kike being ousted by dishonest newspaper kikes.
Woody Allen? I don't keep up with stardom bullshit.
Landon Cooper
Harvey Weinstein apparently, had to google it.
Chase Reed
You think we're any less snobby? We shun any anime touched by filthy gaijins. Only Sup Forums mods would be autistic enough to ban people over Neo Yokio threads even though it's actually anime.
Brody Ramirez
It's not that they don't understand, they don't have the money that the majors studios have.
Thomas Murphy
What do the Oscars have against anime in particular (except Ghibli)? They picked an obscure little thing barely anyone saw over the most successful anime movie ever! Is it something personal?
Wyatt Gray
>>We shun any anime touched by filthy gaijins. I feel like Space Dandy got the worst of this because of it airing on Toonami first.
Cooper Hernandez
European = artsy. Also, it was released by GKIDS. Those guys have good contacts in the Hollywood industry.
>GKids is very effective at playing the Oscar game. Despite releasing almost entirely esoteric foreign cartoons, the company is run by showbiz veterans who have close ties with celebrity actors, publicists, and other prominent people. They know how to get their films seen by the right people, how to build buzz among academy members, and how to play the Hollywood game. Their films usually get a nomination because a: they're usually good films, and b: they are crafty enough to get the animation members of the academy to take those films seriously. GKids is a small company, however, and can't afford to compete against the big marketing money that major studios will throw at their films. >animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2017-01-27/.111446
Luke Harris
>wanting the recognition of Hollywood Japan knows better.
Adam Parker
it's not anime though
Oliver Baker
Jews, retard.
Nolan Parker
your name was massively overrated like literally all the fluffy schmaltz done by Shinkai (which I guess isn't a good explanation of why it was snubbed by the academy awards, but still)
Connor Gray
Literally fpbp. No one ironically thinks the Oscars as an authority of tastes when they still only have 1 category for animated films or shorts.
Bentley Taylor
More people need to pay attention to this. Part of getting an Oscar is spending a shitload of time and money specifically marketing your stuff to academy folks.
Leo Mitchell
No they only care about Disney
Colton Mitchell
Koe no Katachi was better than either.
Brody Rodriguez
>these two obscure freakin' Chinese fuckin' things that nobody ever freakin' saw [an apparent reference to the Japanses film The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, as well as the Irish film Song of the Sea]
Caleb Evans
OP you're basically saying avengers and transformers deserve Oscars because they made money.
Ethan Watson
I genuinely hope you enjoy it, user. I watched it sitting in my room on my shitty toaster PC and the quality of its presentation still blew me away.
Eli Phillips
>oscars Oh you mean the guys that said they will stop nominating movies with white people because muh diversity?
i went in totally blind and also mostly blind to the massive hype it had, just saw it mentioned a couple times and thought it must be good
became my favorite movie/anime./fucking anything
Daniel Green
>Zucchini boy fucking kills his mom in the first 5 minutes of the film Damn brah
Andrew Martin
Oscars have a single category for animations which should tell you how much of a joke it is.
And Kimi no Nawa is your average mass-appeal heartwarming animation, Zucchini is a much more daring film AND it's stop motion which the academy seems to love.
Dominic Garcia
>Implying an Oscar has any artistic value.
Jack Sanders
You got that right honey~!
Parker Gomez
so he's just a psycho?
...or was it by birth, you misleading asshole?
Jayden Mitchell
An accident actually, she's an abusive drunk and he accidentally kills her while trying to get away from her
Wyatt Flores
That doujin was a gold mine.
Jaxson Jones
>barely-an-hour-long movie that flopped at the box office >not even its own country cared about it >made no impact whatsoever among the general public >Hollywood doesn't even know it exists
these are all appeals to popularity, OP. not arguments
Joseph Cruz
Kimi no na Wa doesn't deserve it anyway. It's a pretty looking but ultimately superficial and forgettable light entertainment film.
Elijah Hill
>I don’t think I should be able to vote for this category either, but I can’t resist another opportunity to support Guardians of the Galaxy. It should get something. >Out of all of the nominees, I suspect that Guardians of the Galaxy had the least amount of visual effects, but I voted for it anyway because I liked it so much.
Xavier Gomez
>anime will never be taken seriously by the entertainment industry >w-we don't care anyway!
