Have you seen the president and the media & trends? Americans are full retards. You should know this by now.

>In 2017, for instance, alongside megahits like Zootopia and Moana, voters nominated My Life as a Zucchini, a candid and melancholic Swiss comedy set in an orphanage, which grossed all of $307,766 in the US; and The Red Turtle, a striking and silent high-concept love story directed by Michael Dudok de Wit, of the Netherlands, for Japan’s legendary Studio Ghibli.

>Similarly, in 2016 the chart-topping Inside Out was joined by the wistful, nostalgic anime When Marnie Was There and Anomalisa, an artfully misanthropic oddity from indie auteur Charlie Kaufman (the writer behind Being John Malkovich and Adaptation).

>Traditionally, the nominations in each Oscar category are decided on by members of the Academy’s specialist “branches”; screenplay nominations are selected by the writers branch, acting nominations by the actors branch, and so on. Then the entire membership — which can include everyone from actors to songwriters to makeup artists — votes for the eventual winner.

>But this year, as the result of a controversial rule change, voting for the Best Animated Feature nominations will also be opened up to any member who wishes to participate.

>This could mean a significant shift in focus for a category with a history of reaching outside the Hollywood studio system for its nominees, and one that plays a big part in raising the profile of foreign, independent, and stylistically diverse animation.

TL;DR Any cunt with an opinion and half a brain in the Academy can nominate whichever piece of shit they feel like for best animated feature

They recently opened up voting the noms to the entire academy instead of just people that work in animation. You'll never see a foreign film nominated there again unless they revert it back.

>Oscars

>SAO

Who in the fuck gives a shit about the Oscars?

user, the Oscars are just an event where a bunch of Jews, film industry people, and rich fucks gather together to fellate each other both literally and figuratively, congratulating themselves on what great movies they made, and lately, how progressive they are. It's the reason why it is almost always Disney who bags an Oscar even when there are much better animated movies both in the US and abroad.

It is also a huge event for the normalfag masses, which means advertising

Atleast the animated short section looks good

"Are you ready to learn what it takes to get an Oscar nomination?"

A Silent Voice gulped.

In This Corner of the World shuddered.

Your Name sweated nervously.

"Yes, The Boss Baby" they said in unison.

>The Red Turtle, a striking and silent high-concept love story

Felt like some student artsy project.

Why should I care which piece of cultural marxist agitprop, produced by hollywood hooknoses and handpicked by another bunch of senile kikes, wins a gilded turd for Most Inbred Garbage of the Year?

I can't believe you seriously think an Oscar nomination is anything to do with quality.

Who gives a flying fuck?

In fairness Napping Princess was a bit shit.

>sao
are you just fucking with us

Fuck off. This isn't an America hate thread

This masterpiece lost to Big Hero 6.
That's all you need to know about shubman kikeshit circlejerk public relations aka Oscars

That really sucks, I loved Kaguya. Although I've heard that Big Hero movie isn't as bad as some of the other stuff they put out.

>This is going to strike a major blow to the category’s diversity. While I still think they blew it by snubbing The LEGO Movie back in 2015, the fact remains that they strike a good balance between studio fare and indies. Most people won’t have heard of films like Song of the Sea or My Life as a Zucchini, but an Oscar nomination can help raise the profiles of those films.

>With voting now open to the entire body, the studios have far more power because their films have wider distribution. It wouldn’t shock me if we’re hearing nominations for The Boss Baby and Despicable Me 3 next year.

hmmm

In This Corner still won a lot of awards at legitimate film festivals, so I don't really mind what the mainstream trash Oscars does.

They have literally no interest in animation

>wanting any more western attention to this medium than there already is

Only anime the Academy even considers is Ghiblishit, so I'm not surprised none of them made it.

It's already fucked in that sense and already has an horribly awful reputation worldwide, so why not?

...

"Fucked" isn't a binary, user. It can always get worse.

>They can now put the words "Ocsar Nominee" on all future rereleases of Boss Baby

>>Good enough for the Oscars
The question you should be asking this day and age is whether Oscars are good enough for filmmakers and actors anymore

Someone in this world unironically believes Boss Baby is better than In this Corner of the World.

The Oscars is ONLY good for them filmmakers and actors. Its their party.

But that also means it does nothing for us.
So....

Reminder that the Annecy Awards are more interesting.

>Someone
Multiple someones.

>implying most of them aren't such plebs that they snub anime films completely

it could become one

one thing that bugged me was about the origin of the clothes. where the fuck did they get them?

>seriously caring about the animation category of the oscars
>caring about the oscars period
It's "i saw the disney movie with my kid and that's the only nominee i actually saw, so i voted for it", the category. Even moreso now.

...

>TL;DR Any cunt with an opinion and half a brain in the Academy can nominate whichever piece of shit they feel like for best animated feature

It's not any better than the alternative

It was previously only the nominations that were chosen by specialist members. All those people shitting on Kaguya are the same cunts with an opinion and half a brain that thought Boss Baby was a watchable movie.

Is Napping Princess good?

I don't even know what Boss Baby is. Should I google it? How many brain cells will I risk losing?

All of them.
>The state of American animation

Why the fuck would I care about the kikescars.

>The Oscars
You can consider anyone who unironically pays attention to them a braindead tool.

It already is one. That's just the nature of Sup Forums

>A Silent Voice and Kizumonogatari III got robbed for a bull voiced by a 4/10 wrestler and fucking Boss Baby

We are a broken people

Just finished watching it, its pretty good, a solid 9/10.

In this corner of the world > Boss baby > Koe no katashit

The kikes would never recognize Jap animation over a superficial level. The jew fears the samurai.

Because japs aren't Jews

Why would you care about if an anime gets an Oscar? Oscars are a fucking joke.
