>A female member of the Academy’s 506-person sound branch said that she had only seen two films in the category: >>I didn’t see Mirai, Ralph Breaks the Internet or Incredibles 2. Isle of Dogs? I didn’t like that at all. Spider-Man [Into the Spider-Verse] was fantastic. >>My Vote: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
>Meanwhile, a male member of the Academy’s 519-person directors branch said that he’d seen four of the films, but not Mamoru Hosoda’s Mirai, a film whose name he couldn’t even remember: >>Is there any doubt about what’s going to win? I swore I’d never vote for a superhero film, but how can you not vote for Spider-Man? The last time I was this excited by the creativity in an animated film was when I saw [2001’s] Shrek. It is a complete work of art and the other nominees aren’t even in the same hemisphere: Incredibles 2 and Ralph Breaks the Internet are the same old stuff; Isle of Dogs is what Wes Anderson has done before; and I’ve not seen the other one [Mirai]. >>My Vote: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
>The last time I was this excited by the creativity in an animated film was when I saw [2001’s] Shrek. Based and greenpilled.
Brody Green
Oh no opinions
Benjamin King
I have nothing against Spider-Man and it probably deserved to win.
I do have something against these people who voted without even having seen Mirai. It could be the greatest film ever made and they didn't even give it a glance. Granted I have not seen it either but it infuriates me that people get to decide which movie receives an award when they haven't even seen all the movies they're voting on.
Logan Taylor
You should be more outraged by Bao
Joshua James
Maybe if it was good then they would have seen it. I didn't see it either and I'm kinda glad because it wasn't even good enough to win an Oscar
Oliver Fisher
>Mirai Never even heard of the movie. Thanks to your post i will now watch it and, if i even mildly enjoy it, pay for it. Keep on spreading good media fren
Kayden Jenkins
Bait
Parker Kelly
First off, there's a difference between casual viewers like us and people who vote on awards and whose entire job is film.. Second, you're retarded and probably trolling so that's why I left calling you retarded until the end of my post, retard.
Michael Adams
The perception of their ignorance changes whether they were sent a screener copy or not. I'm not even sure if those a still a thing but if they weren't, there wasn't any real way for them to watch Mirai unless they saw the limited theatre screenings UNLESS screeners were distributed. Bad bait
Jack Hughes
This is shota bait isnt it?
Hunter Davis
Well I just read a few minutes ago that there is a requirement that voters must watch every film in the short film category before voting so I can at least say that they're voting honestly.
Apparently, the only categories where you don't have to watch every film are Best Picture and Best Animated Feature. So always take those awards with a grain of salt.
Levi Fisher
They have lives.
Oliver Kelly
If that's true, that's actually even worse that films are getting nominated with no way for the voters to properly see them. What the fuck is wrong with the Academy.
Justin Perez
THIS IS THEIR FUCKING JOB.
Aaron Bennett
It doesn't take much effort to watch 5 movies
Eli Adams
I guess it's okay for movie reviewers to not watch the movies they're rating too, then?
Jaxon Kelly
Based on some of the absolute fucking nonsense I've seen in reviews lately, it's quite possible that they don't.
Adam Flores
Isle of Dogs was a disappointment and I like Wes Anderson's movies a lot. I didn't see Ralph, but of the 4 others? Spider-verse all th way.
Luis Hughes
The Only good thing about Mirai is that ya boy Tatsuro Yamashita did the soundtrack. The movie got hit hard by "Star Trek One Syndrome".
Luke Hughes
Yep and they never do it.
Heck surprised Disney didn't when by default since they usually check that box without thinking.
Joseph Watson
So, these people are just normal people right? Not actual critics or something.
Justin Allen
That's not true. All members can vote across all categories. Wanda Sykes literally admitted to voting at the last minute and only picking options that had "Black" in it.
Sebastian Price
After seeing how stupid they are I would not be surprised if they actually thought Spider-Man was Disney because Marvel movies are usually Disney movies.
Joseph Rodriguez
Only people on Yea Forums could be mad a studio other than FUCKING Pixar wins the Oscar. Island of Dog's and Spiderman were both really good movies and it's a step forward for the academy to let either of them win.
Benjamin Green
You say that and then bash critics who's entire job is to score a movie on RT.
Leo Diaz
Oh no doubt.
David Baker
They're film industry people in what's basically an exclusive club. I don't think they get paid or anything like that.
Matthew Ramirez
Mirai should not be even nominated. It was some lesson about kid learning how to have a sister or else. It was token anime movie. Smallfoot deserved a nom for being a funny animated movie which teaches about the origin of religion and traditions.
Parker Baker
That's disturbing.
Hudson Hernandez
>working job years and years judging stuff >see crap coming from a mile away thanks to years of experience They did their job by knowing which movies to watch and which to not. Hype is part of cinema too
Michael Powell
not if these are still the standard the judges hold themselves up to. The Oscars are a sham.
Colton Myers
Man, you are going to have to accept at some point that you are not very good at trolling.
Christopher Phillips
It's better than, "My daughter told me Frozen was really good so I'm voting for it"
Evan Gutierrez
We're only seeing two of the votes. There's probably still plenty with that logic.
Isaiah Morgan
Except they straight up admit they don't watch all of them. It's clear the Pixar short won because of its brand and not necessarily because of its quality.
Ethan Scott
>these successful people are stupid because they don't agree with an absolute failure like me >the world over accepts their wisdom on a world stage but I take my time to rant on a swedish kanoodling forum >agree with me without question or you're part of the problem of people that don't think for themselves
Noah Hall
>Swedish Kanoodling Forum
Best one yet
Brandon Mitchell
The proof is in the pudding. Good movies do good.
Hunter Ross
Guy. Just give it up. This isn't even funny, it's just... sad.
Jordan Bennett
The problem is the Academy is by majority actors. Imagine the majority of actors outweighing the opinions of veteran sound designers and editors because they only watched one of the movies.
Carson Price
you missed the entire point of what OP is saying. here's a (you)
Brandon Carter
>agree with me without question or you're part of the problem of people that don't think for themselves I mean, when your stance is "people should be informed about their options before making a decision" there's not a whole lot of room to intelligently disagree.
Anthony Diaz
Source plz?
Colton Long
>Rage at the academy because most adults don't watch cartoons and just vote for whatever their kid saw or they've vaguely heard of
What are you, twelve? That's literally how most of these things go. Nobody has time to see everything, or even be interested in seeing most of the screeners.
Dylan Turner
Academy members are people just like everyone else and to most people cartoon category is completely uninteresting ans boring. It's like sound design or editing, unless you're into that and know how to judge it you just wing it.
Do you have proof he isnt? 26 million poeple wanted to see the opinions of the Oscars. 23 people care about OP
Thomas Smith
>Get ready to rage Oscars are bull and one should not get so perplexed about them at any time. Chill out, my man.
Ayden Diaz
And here we see a textbook example of the retarded contrarian, which has been thriving as of late.
Landon Lewis
Why see ANY of the movies in ANY of the categories? Just vote based on the name alone.
Isaac Young
Remember when Yea Forums used to do end of the year awards? Same fucking deal. I barely knew wtf 75% of the nominations were. That's also why Forever Evil won the best comic category.
Owen Myers
Am I the only one who appreciates this joke? Come on Yea Forums don't get baited so easily
Anime reps have been padding for years, user. Same with the "artsy" rep, in this case Isle of Dogs. The judges know it and don't usually bother watching them.
The real nominations are always two or three CGI movies by Disney and some other studio like DreamWorks or Imagination.
Brody Jackson
That's the retarded conformist aka "critics/masses are always right and any opinion that disagrees with them is objectively wrong". But yes, their kind has been thriving as of late.
Sebastian Williams
They are too busy trying to be woke to get people to watch them. They don’t realize that all people were asking for in the first place was some fucking integrity in their own awards and not some dog and pony show.
Julian Gomez
This would only matter if spider-verse wasn't the best film out all nominated by a country mile.
Blake Nelson
Isle of Dogs isn't even a good Wes Anderson film why do you keep sucking its ass?
Michael White
At this point it’s likely they throw those types of films in so it doesn’t look like Disney boxed the category.
Dominic Fisher
based on animation alone the spiderman movie deserved the win. male member is right that all the other movies didn't do anything new with animation. also who the fuck cares about the fucking plot of an animated movie? no one
Justin Jones
Nah none of these do it for me. The angriest one I ever got was the review where he said he didn't bother watching the film and just left his kid in the theater until it was over.
Kevin Wood
Can I see it? Actually, does anyone have some of the previous years?
Gavin Morris
If this guy is a troll then he is a genius. >Best animated cartoonbsince shrek.
Angel Jones
>Yeah it was a show trial but he was probably guilty anyway. So why changing the system?
Luke Hill
Why doesn't the Academy have viewing parties where voters can catch up on films they haven't seen? They could make an event out of it. Maybe they do and these are just the ones that are too "busy".
Jason Allen
Mirai was boring in every sense of the word. I really wanted to like it but the moment things became interesting it would abruptly finish.
Jackson Parker
>get paid to watch animated movies >can't even do that jewllywood is a joke at this point
Eli Miller
>Swedish kanoodling forum
Kek
Ian Clark
>The last time I was this excited by the creativity in an animated film was when I saw [2001’s] Shrek I'm trying to figure out if this is worse than the guy who left his kid in a theater because he hated cartoons.
I like you. People calling it bait are retarded. Not all banter is bait.
Also, dont they get the films to watch or something?
How the fuck do you get paid to vote on something if you havent seen the films.
Ho many films are there in the oscars total? They cant sit in their office and fire through a few a day.
Henry Thompson
>Get paid >To vote in the Oscars You don't even know how Oscars work do you? Academy Members are not paid to watch movies, they work in the industry itself and all 5000 or so members get to vote in most categories, that's why you see those "For your consideration" ads in movie magazines and why studios bother sending all those screener DVDs.
Cooper Russell
Not their fault. I never saw the movie either and most people wouldn't have heard of it regardless.
Luis Hill
Animu movies don't come out in the states for like a year it so.
Brandon Wood
To be fair, Spider-verse deserved to win this time round.
Gabriel Campbell
Why the fuck would I be angry about Spiderverse being nominated by oscar idiots, for once they at least picked something that's visually experimental rather than Disney garbage or latest twee nonsense from hack stop-motion/anime auteur #23497259
Luke Lewis
Maybe not.
Thomas Evans
Why are the Oscar awards for animated films more accredited than the Annie awards that are specifically for animation?
Why do people pay attention to any animation awards besides Annecy?
Noah Howard
>more accredited [by who?]
(This is a Wikipedia tag, not a Jew reference.)
Jace Bell
Isle of Dogs isn't that great. The novelty of a Wes Anderson stop motion movie was already done with Fantastic Mr Fox. Spider-verse did offer something visually new with the way it used selective ramping, It's just that trolls here have decided to turn that into a meme about frame rates and PS2 games.
Carter Richardson
I agree that spiderverse deserved it based on visuals alone, but you know they didnt vote for visuals.
Landon Jones
i thought it was yet another yeti movie
Aaron Morris
These seem like reasonable opinions. The first one skipped Disney/Pixar trash and voted for the one of the two actual contenders which she liked better. The second one gave reasonable appraisal of 4 movies out of 5 and skipped the Japanese film, which was poorly received even in its own country.
Tyler Reyes
>yet another yeti movie What? Name one other.
Jonathan Garcia
Maybe if it were children voting in this category you would get people that watch them all. Is this the moment where you babies realize that cartoons are for children and any self-respecting grown adult would not watch any that they didn’t have to?
Jaxson Rivera
At some point you're going to have to admit that you're not a very good troll.
Carson Reyes
Mirai could be the worst movie ever made and it still wouldn't make it right that they voted without having seen it.
Oliver Rodriguez
I think Forever Evil broke me. It's so dumb, like a bad Marvel event, but people couldn't stop sucking it off.
Andrew Cooper
Is it better or worse than Twelve Forever?
Chase Hernandez
Shrek at the time was super creative it was the original "shit on classic disney". The problem is that everyone did it later, including disney.
Ayden Scott
Ban big-studio movies (Disney, Pixar, DW, Blue Sky, etc) and they’ll have no choice but watch the films and vote on merit rather than brand recognition.
Nicholas Diaz
Or they would just vote the same way this guy did: >I didn't get around to seeing any of them. You want the truth? I shouldn't have voted, but I did. This is bad, but here's the power of advertising: everywhere I looked, I saw pictures of this stupid carcass — whatever the fuck that was — and I thought, "That's a cool-looking thing." And I fucking voted for a movie based on the dead whatever it was in the ad thinking that it looked cool. [laughs] >MY VOTE: Leviathan
It's a lost cause. Plus it would result in even less viewership than the Oscars already have because turns out people only watch the Oscars if they know the movies involved. And you just know they're getting money from Disney anyway. It does not make financial sense to kick them out.
Sure, it would restore credibility to the Academy, but does anyone honestly think they care about that?
Wait, aren't they required to actually watch the movies before they judge them? What's the point of having a jury when they don't make their decision based on the movies they've seen?
Jeremiah Perez
pretty sure the oscars' voting system being complete garbage is an universally recognised fact
Caleb Mitchell
Apparently they're not. Maybe they used to be required and that's why they trick people into thinking they still do but at some point that must have stopped.
It's kind of funny in a sad way. Filmmakers must know this and understand that an Oscar isn't actually worth all that much, but because "Oh, that's an Oscar-winning film" still has such a positive connotation, they keep clinging to the Academy Awards, going to the ceremony every time they're nominated, laughing awkwardly at the forced jokes with a pained expression on their face like I saw Spike Lee doing last night, hoping they'll receive that validation, that they can say "Look, I'm good at my job, I won an Oscar", even though they know people didn't even watch the movies and voted for them at the last minute because they had black in the title. And next year the cycle begins anew.
Asher Long
Only one I haven't seen was Mirai, so unless it was Mamoru Hosoda's magnum opus, Spiderverse deserved the Oscar. Incredibles 2 was honestly pretty good. Isle of Dogs had some shaky pacing once you get past the visual presentation but certainly wasn't bad.
>see crap coming from a mile away thanks to years of experience And yet Ralph Breaks the Internet has 88% on RT and Crash 2.0 won best picture.
Sebastian Bennett
>Voter #5: I only watch the ones that my kid wants to see, so I didn’t see [The] Boxtrolls but I saw Big Hero 6 and I saw [How to Train Your] Dragon [2]. We both connected to Big Hero 6 — I just found it to be more satisfying. The biggest snub for me was Chris Miller and Phil Lord not getting in for [The] Lego [Movie]. When a movie is that successful and culturally hits all the right chords and does that kind of box-office — for that movie not to be in over these two obscure freakin’ Chinese fuckin’ things that nobody ever freakin’ saw [an apparent reference to the Japanese film The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, as well as the Irish film Song of the Sea]? That is my biggest bitch. Most people didn’t even know what they were! How does that happen? That, to me, is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. >MY VOTE: Big Hero 6
>these two obscure freakin’ Chinese fuckin’ things that nobody ever freakin’ saw Strange how it's okay for the Academy to be racist towards Asians.
Gabriel Sanchez
One thing I will say for the Academy Awards, they conditioned people into thinking it was going to be a catastrophe without a host and turns out it didn't even make a difference really. The host barely does anything anyway. I hope they continue to not bother with a host, it actually shaved like ten minutes off the length of the ceremony.
Carter Phillips
>Ralph Breaks the Internet has 88% on RT It has a considerably lower score on Metacritic.
I fucking said in the Oscars threads WEEKS ago that the judge's think animated stuff is for children. Didn't you hear that opening speak? Calling it childish. It got my blood boiling.
Jose Bennett
Eh, the academy always gets it wrong. Its not all that rage worthy.
Luke Cooper
Who cares?
Brody Roberts
Why doesn't Yea Forums big up the Annies more? You don't like or trust the judgment of the mainstream Hollywood dumbasses why not try to increase the prestige of your own industry awards?
Jackson Reyes
>the Annies have separate categories for mainstream and independent movies I’m not sure if that makes them better or worse than the Oscars.
Landon Sanders
I didn't realize the childish things quote was from the Bible. I only ever heard it in the context of C.S. Lewis BTFOing people. So apparently this whole time it was a religious guy throwing shade on the Bible. That makes me like his quote even more.
Blake Ward
That actually seems like a smart decision to me. Independent films don't have near as much budget, it's not fair to make them compete with mainstream films. Furthermore, it gives exposure to films which never would have been nominated if they were combined into one award.
The problem I see upon looking at what's won the Annies though, is that it is consistently almost always the exact same film that won the Best Animated Feature Oscar. Which makes you wonder again, are they even watching them? Or are they just like the Academy and just voting for whatever their kids tell them to?
Incidentally, I see that Mirai actually won the Independent Annie this year. So that's kind of amusing. The film that the Academy voters didn't even bother watching was considered good enough to win the award.
Luis Barnes
Because the Oscars has a nice lavish show with plenty of celebrities attending and the Annies who cares.
Wyatt Parker
I like it, it's got that 16 year old circular logic I miss so much.
Joshua Reed
Is this shocking to anyone? Madoka: Rebellion didn't even get a nomination and Shaft didn't even submit any film in the Kizu trilogy for consideration.
Which is mainly because they get paid an enormous amount to attend. The "swag bag" they get is legendary in its largesse. People wonder "Why do celebrities care so much about winning an Oscar when it doesn't mean a whole lot?" and the answer is because there is literally no downside to them attending the ceremony, they get so much free shit.
Christopher Wilson
The academy awards don't mean anything and anyone who gets upset at them is autistic.
Daniel Peterson
That's Weinstein tier thinking. >It's only Hollywood, no one is paying attention.
Asher Wilson
Tell me how they matter, then? Oooh, you get a trophy and people find out about your movie! Wow!
Ayden Bailey
I'm told that when it comes to foreign films it's the country's film organization that gets to decide which are nominated so if they don't like you then you could make the greatest film ever and it won't matter. It famously happened to Park Chan-wook, director of Oldboy.
Jacob Smith
This happens EVERY YEAR How could you still be surprised it happens at this point. The academy will NEVER care about animation to the degree you want them to.
Logan Reed
They cared the year that Spirited Away won. It's just that they've changed.
Samuel Allen
To be fair, Rebellion and Kizu both require some background knowledge before jumping into them. Sequels and spinoffs, especially foreign ones that aren't based on a well-known property, have never gelled well with the academy.
...He said in the same year that Incredibles 2, Wreck-It Ralph 2, and Infinity War all received nominations, and Into the Spider-Verse, which expects you to know a fuckton of obscure knowledge about Spider-Man comics, was the fucking winner.
Owen Phillips
What obscure knowledge did Spider-verse expect you to know before hand?
Daniel Allen
they all just joined a circle jerk because "Miyazaki' is a recognizable name and because they wanted to be hip with the kids.
Gabriel Gomez
Yeah, my casual friend was fine
It's annoying that people don't watch all the nominees and that some worthy movies don't even get nominated in the first place, but Spider-Verse deserved the win
Nathan Moore
It probably did, but it's clearly one of those situations like Zootopia where the best film of the nominees won by chance instead of by proper recognition of its merit compared to the other nominees.
Landon Rodriguez
>Isle of Dogs was a disappointment THIS saw it bootleg and was still disappointed. i saw Spiderman bootleg and then went to the movies the next day with my bro so i can see it with better quality.
Sebastian Sullivan
What do you mean "was still disappointed", you watched a highly visual film in poor quality. What's wrong with you?
Nathaniel Collins
Are we there yet? Has "unironically unironically" become ironic?
Cameron Howard
>highly visual Oh yeah, I'm sure seeing individual hairs on the dogs would make all the difference
Not the same user, by the way. Watched IoD in 1080p and still found it "okay"
Luis Edwards
>It is a complete work of art and the other nominees aren’t even in the same hemisphere >Incredibles 2 and Ralph Breaks the Internet are the same old stuff >Isle of Dogs is what Wes Anderson has done before all true >and I’ve not seen the other one [Mirai] good, fuck weeb shit.
>Independent films don't have near as much budget, it's not fair to make them compete with mainstream films. Furthermore, it gives exposure to films which never would have been nominated if they were combined into one award.
Yeah, but why was Anomalisa nominated alongside Disney shit instead of in the indie category? Wasn’t that funded though Kickstarter?
I wish there was some kind of rule that members had to watch all the movies but it's pretty much impossible to enforce. Or likely even implement.
Carter Jones
>Wasting energy getting mad about the Hollywood Circlejerk show Just laugh at all of the celebrities who are going to be angry about how people don't care about their opinions and all the faggots mad that Green Book won
Same guy: >But it really isn't something I should be voting on because I really don't know anything about costume designing. You know, we nominate our own [meaning the nominees in each category are chosen solely by the members of the corresponding branch of people who work/worked in that area], but then it goes out to the freakin' collective membership who have not a clue what anyone else does except their own shit. It shouldn't work like this. And yet I have a ballot, so I vote, you know? The guy is an oscar-nominated sound guy that obviously feels he shouldn't be balloted on things he doesn't get.
Elijah Ward
And the saddest part is despite his very valid points, this was all five years ago and it still hasn't changed. The Academy has no desire to improve itself.
Jaxson Moore
Shouldn't you be mad Green Book won as well?
Nathaniel Cook
Green Book winning to me is like Patriots winning the Super Bowl, I don't even care about the actual show but the asspain of everyone who does give a shit is entertaining as fuck
Friendly reminder that the Academy Awards have never been a mark of quality. Their history is RIFE with bullshit like this.
Animation voters generally don't watch all the movies they're voting on. They usually only watch 2 or 3 and vote based on which one their kids liked the best.
Citizen Kane is lauded as one of the greatest movies ever made. The movie that won Best Picture that year is a movie you've never heard of and not Citizen Kane.
There's plenty more stories about technically-not-bribes, movies loosing Best Picture simply because the same genre won that award the previous year and loads of other shenanigans.
Aaron Ross
same old stuff done before just fucking straight up say "didn't watch the weebshit lmao" at that point
Jaxon Flores
And I don't think horror movies have ever been nominated, for another example of Academy weirdness.
Jason Mitchell
Funny that you should mention the Patriots, because they're finding out right now that karma's a bitch.
Aiden Kelly
Why are people pissed about Green Book winning? I know Spike Lee was mad, but he's mad at everything not kissing his ass so his opinion is shit anyways.
Colton Morales
Your problem is the problem with the category, the academy considers animation a genre and not a medium and that is bullshit. Anomalasia was up against shaun the sheep, the category us decided by box office and what names are attached to the movie. Animation isn't the only category that suffers from this, look at best foreign language film. A category where the only similarity required between each film is the fact that their not in English. What film won The only movie on the list that was also nominated for best picture
Did spider-verse deserve to win? Probably, it doesn't change the fact that Miles only exist to pander to market forces and not one single ounce of genuine creativity has ever gone into any of his comics or character, but that fact in itself doesn't change the fact that the movie was pretty good.
Josiah Scott
Basically Green Book is the story of Don Shirley traveling through the South during segregation and creating the "Green Book" a road map to show what locations are safe for Black People while being driven around by his bodyguard Tony Vallelonga. The problem is that the story is told from Tony's perspective so people take this as it being a whitewashed version of the story
Jace Smith
It's more that people are sick of seeing a white perspective continuously define and dominate depictions of racism, unless it's a movie about slavery, especially when that pov treats the subject matter with kid gloves. And when you had Blakkklansman competing in the same category for best picture, is it any wonder so many people across the board went "oh wow, really? You're going with the most vanilla version of the topic as possible for best movie?"
Elijah Long
Feels like something happened...
Michael Sanchez
There was a lot of stuff going on that made Green Book a really weird choice for best picture. Like for example Nick Vallelonga had made some pretty questionable comments that really put a black mark on the whole thing. Feels like the Academy playing it safe and going with the only thing they can understand, as usual. We've seen the comments from the voters; these are not smart people.
Grayson Ross
These are the animated movies we’re getting in 2019. What are your predictions for next year’s Oscars?
They seemed pretty pissed that Lego Movie got snubbed so I can see the sequel at least getting a nom to make up for it. Unless Into the Spider-Verse already counted as throwing a bone to Lord and Miller, but then again they just gave Mahershala Ali a second Oscar so you never know.
Kevin Rodriguez
There's also the fact that apparently Vallelonga and Shirley were never even close to being friends and their relationship was strictly employee and employer.
Daniel Harris
>Unless Into the Spider-Verse already counted as throwing a bone to Lord and Miller Doubtful that the Academy cares enough about them to do that, given that people with long histories within Hollywood who have been nominated multiple times STILL can't get a bone thrown to them after decades.
Samuel Jackson
It's just Crash all over again. They want to seem progressive by awarding it to a movie making the bold statement that racism is bad, but want to give it to the blandest, most inoffensive movie to do so.
Robert Barnes
I appreciated Cuaron taking a shot at the Foreign Language Film category when he won. Some people were hoping he would shit talk the Academy and he didn't disappoint.
Brayden James
Spiderverse was good, eat it feminist/alt-right cucks.
The other LEGO spinoffs weren’t nominated either, and the actual sequel didn’t get as good reviews, so I don’t think the academy will even remember it by next year.
Isaiah Gray
>Some people are mad a black kids movie won >Not the Disney schlock >Not the cheap Wes Anderson Award Bait >Not insert Japanese movie no one outside of Japan was gonna see. No, stop lying to yourself and your friends. No one outside of anime snobs was gonna see this. >And then Pixar bait which no one wants to win anymore cause its getting old.
Surprise surprise. This was a bad year for awards in animation
Luke Walker
>HURR DURR IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPIDER LIVES MATTER YOU'RE RACIST
Ayden Sanders
are you actually retarded or something? I never even hinted at that.
All the fucking movies in the category were horrible choices. Anyone expecting something nice to win is kidding themselves.
Eli Perry
Weekends and Bao were the only remotely decent entries, I'm fine with Bao winning.
Shrek was extremely popular within Hollywood. The Best Animated Feature category was literally created in 2001 just so Shrek wouldn't win best picture.
Colton Powell
It was a good year for foreign animation, but the academy only picked one. The rest was safe, conventional American stuff, except maybe Isle of Dogs.
>Scott portrayed George S. Patton in the 1970 film Patton and researched extensively for the role, studying films of the general and talking to those who knew him. Scott refused the Oscar nomination for Patton, just as he had done for his 1962 nomination for The Hustler, but won the award anyway.[10]
>In a letter to the Motion Picture Academy, he stated that he did not feel himself to be in competition with other actors. However, regarding this second rejection of the Academy Award, Scott famously said elsewhere, "The whole thing is a goddamn meat parade. I don't want any part of it."[3][11] (Curiously, he did attend the 55th Academy Awards on April 13, 1983) what a fucking autist
Anthony Bailey
And that same year they nominated JIMMY FUCKING NEUTRON over Waking Life.
Isaac Butler
cause the Annie awards usually go to whichever studio is the top donor of it that current year and its not like people who work at Studio A will ever vote one something from Studio 3 and vice versa
Connor Price
How would that break you? It's hardly the dumbest event out there. If anything, it's one of the more fun ones specifically because it was so different.
Dominic Bailey
Why would feminists be mad at Spider-Verse?
John Hill
gotta be racist against someone and Asians are practically white people in the eyes of sjws
Jace Hernandez
>cheap Wes Anderson Award Bait >didn't win any awards >was actually extremely expensive to make
Do you just slam words together and hope they make sense?
Tyler Stewart
Anyone else find it weird that some people here are so contrarian that they'll AGREE with the Academy, which is technically not even a contrarian thing to do but it's contrarian to what Yea Forums is saying and that's good enough apparently?
Alexander Barnes
It costs money and is hard to organize because you would have to have as many people as possible for it to be worth it. Sending screeners is way easier and cheaper.
David Nelson
>Most people didn’t even know what they were! How does that happen? >Oh btw I only saw like two of the picks, and only because of my kids saw them, so that makes my pick totally valid while these chinese fuck picks aren't!
This never stops being hilarious.
Liam Wood
>technically-not-bribes
I will never not be mad about Saving Private Ryan.
Brayden Smith
So this is also the case for all the other categories?
Yea Forums would be fine with any other movie winning as long as it wasn't Incredibles 2 which didn't even deserve an nomination
David Price
It certainly seems to be the case for most of them. The only one I feel confident is selected mostly honestly is Best Original Song because it's hard not to take a couple minutes and listen to the songs on YouTube or whatever. I would also say that Shallow was indeed the best song of the nominees so they made the correct choice this year.
Kayden Reed
The /pol/tard NPC is glitching.
Ayden Carter
I wouldn't call Crash inoffensive.
Lucas Evans
How many people do you think ponder longer which movie had the best costuming, if there's a historical drama in the category they just can vote for?
Daniel Gray
Actually as a spokesman for Yea Forums we weren't fine with Ralph winning either.
Tyler Edwards
That movie made me want to fucking throw up. So heavy handed. Everyone got a second chance. Fucking kill me
Joshua Flores
Don't worry, even those of us on Yea Forums who actually like black people agree with you on this.
Caleb Russell
You do realize that 90% of the voters never watched any of the movies more than once and therefore are incapable of comparing them meaningfully? It's all a farce.
Blake Hughes
>NPC calls others NPC your programming is proceeding as programmed
Brandon Young
Fuck Ralph 2. Emoji movie ripoff totally going against the message of the excellent Ralph 1....whose oscar fucking Brave stole, BTW.
Dylan Gomez
I forgot this was a thing so yeah it was either spiderman or Isle of Dogs and Mirai
Michael Price
>n-no you! As predicted. You've outed yourself as an NPC in every sense of the word.
Matthew White
>who actually like black people Your kind is not welcome here.
Samuel Hall
Saving Private Ryan was frontrunner for 1998(9?). There was a massive campaign by the studio/producers of Shakespeare in Love, essentially sending FYC gift bags, etc. to members of the academy.
James Morales
Just give it up, /pol/tard. Things are not going your way.
Leo Perry
Called you out on it first.
So which one are you? Nigger, tranny, dyke, or just plain native Yea Forums faggot?
Jason Evans
You should have seen the voter commentary when Frozen was up for one.
Jacob Brooks
Looks like you're the one outnumbered here. Go to sleep, SoCal fag.
Anthony Morgan
Yikes, you're so desperate that you're actually lying this blatantly. Guess it's finally sunk in that the wall isn't happening.
Gavin Hill
It's been like fourteen years since I saw it but how is it exactly offensive? Other than being very heavy handed.
Jason Allen
Exterminate all niggers
Tyler Sanchez
Because it's another blatant racebaiting movie that makes the white race the bad guys and niggers the perfect angels who dindu nuffin
Benjamin Harris
Good grief, the /pol/kid is really sperging out in this thread now.
Clean up this mess before it gets out of hand.
Jose Ortiz
It's offensive to intelligence and people who want to watch good movies on account of being dogshit.
Samuel Nelson
I'm actually pleasantly surprised that some of them saw a couple of the films they were voting on.
Christian Moore
>being this triggered when the truth is dropped
Connor Bell
Dude can you shut the fuck up for a second, your shitposting is a reportable offense.
Easton Edwards
>m-mommy the mean kid is telling me uncomfortable truths, I called him a /pol/ kid but that didn't make him go away!
Zachary Mitchell
I decided to check how the Oscar noms compare to other awards during this season:
Annies (Mainstream) >Early Man >Incredibles 2 >Isle of Dogs >Ralph 2 >Spider-Man
Annies (Independent) >Mirai >MFKZ >Ruben Brandt, Collector >This Magnificent Cake >Tito and the Birds
Golden Globes >Incredibles 2 >Isle of Dogs >Mirai >Ralph 2 >Spider-Man
Yea Forums is not your personal army, deal with it
Jacob Thompson
>I don't like who was voted the winner so we should start doxxing the people who did the voting!
Grow the fuck up.
Nathaniel James
>I love black cock it's so yummy
Gabriel Bennett
You are literally the same faggot aren't you?
Justin Evans
>a man this based >autist
Jaxon Perez
I have no doubt that he is. You can see the exact point where the thread went to shit. We were having some pretty good discussion then he started coming in and screeching autistically.
Gavin Morris
I won't judge you on sexual preference kid, if you like that sort of thing but don't start projecting.
Matthew Brooks
Wanda Sykes is also a comedian so I would take that statement with a grain of salt.
Wyatt Green
I don't think they get paid
Jayden Long
No idea but Funan and Bunuel are the only movies in that lot I'm actually looking forward to. This Magnificent Cake also looks cool though so I might see that too.
I have far less respect for the Academy Awards looking back and knowing what else was released around the world, jesus christ.
Gabriel White
ONLY nom for Night is Short is the anime only organization. Fucking shameful.
Jace Howard
Spider-verse was a solid win. Better than a disney or pixar sequel, even if they do look visually fantastic. I suppose oscar voters are not provided copies of the films to watch, otherwise they would much less excuse.
Nicholas Scott
mirai is a completely generic and boring film, which is the reason's no one's heard of it. really only got the nomination because they need a token foreign film so the category appears to have some authenticity, and it being a children's movie thats got a dubbing means that some member's grandkids probably got a dvd of it. ruben brandt should have got the nomination, had a snowball's chance in hell next to spiderman, but it being a foreign film thats not for kids and not in the safe and cuddly miyazaki style means it would never of gotten nominated.
Oliver Hernandez
Yeah I just don't think it was as good as Fox
Nathan Peterson
awesome quads, but yes, they do get provided copies. Those are what screeners are
Jason Cook
I don't see how that's related.
Cameron Miller
>he thinks bans matters Protip: As long as phoneposting is available, the mods have zero power here. Phoneposting enables consequencefree shitposting since banevading on mobile literally takes 2 swipes and less than 2 minutes of waiting time. It's so simple anyone with two braincells and a dataplan can do it, unlike desktop banevading which actually requires a teensy bit of knowledge and a lot more waiting time.
Pic related is a screenshot of a below-average intelligence shitposting phonefag that somehow managed to fuck up his own samefagging no less than 3 posts in a row, so he had to delete them to cover his samefaggotry. Feel free to look up the post numbers to confirm its authenticity.
>who actually like black people I like those blacks that don't act like niggers. I do like hood movies though.
Blake Allen
No, he makes perfect films.
We're done here.
Michael Diaz
Mirai won the Annie award though. Can't be that bad.
Adrian Gutierrez
I would’ve nominated Ruben Brandt instead of Ralph Breaks the Internet. They should limit Disney’s participation to just one movie per year.
Eli Sullivan
Do any of them have good waifus? That's what really matters.
Dominic Fisher
I agree. Of course, though, Disney runs the show so that'll never happen.
Cameron Ross
This website has written angry articles about the Academy Awards every single year. I don't know what they expect to accomplish but I admire their dedication.
Aaron Bailey
Also, man, Japan gets a lot of artsy animated films that nobody ever really talks about because they're busy watching light novel adaptations. Not to say light novel adaptations can't be good but it's the equivalent of exclusively watching Marvel movies and wondering why films are nothing but capes and sequels. You're depriving yourself of the really good stuff and making idiotic assumptions.
James Young
AAAAARGH! They make me SO ANGRY!
Jordan Fisher
It's the same people who put up "#oscarsowhite" and claim Oscars are always out of touch. They stil watch the show anyway.
Gavin Barnes
Good post, user.
Adam Hughes
That users of that site still suck Disney knob 364/365 days of the year. The one day they decide to actually like to talk about other films is the Oscars.
At this point, why even air the ceremony on TV? Last I checked, none of the other award shows do.
Jose Walker
Eh? Plenty of them do, just not on a channel everyone has, like ABC.
And if you've attempted to watch ABC at any point like I have, you'd see that they honestly have nothing better to show. The Oscars are actually an improvement over their usual content, believe it or not.
Jace Walker
The academy has always been a huge steaming pile of shit in regards to animation. They're one of the bigger reasons animations is still as pigeonholed into the "JUS 4KIDZ LAWL" meme as it is
Kevin Cruz
As a woman the least you could do is watch that fucking ralph sequel. This is the same shit has gays getting their forced representation and then bitching that they dont like it because the network is just using them. You ruined something good and then you just fucking ignore it and cant even just fucking take what you were given.
Leo Phillips
Wait, what? Why is it particularly important to watch Ralph 2 "as a woman"?
Luis Torres
Watch it.
William Collins
I intend to but it's going to take probably a couple months before I can get it so I wouldn't mind a brief explanation of what you're talking about.
It was a meta deconstruction about how Disney has wrongfully treated females with their princess lineup or just average tropes. Ralph gets the blunt of pretty much everything. It's genuinely worse than the dated memes.
Easton Nguyen
He read the first 3 words. I don't blame him for at least thinking it was your average Yea Forums femanon self callout post but I mean, read the next words before even responding.
Jacob Bennett
Ah, I see. Well, considering her only explanation for Isle of Dogs is "Isle of Dogs? I didn't like that at all." I have a suspicion that she wouldn't have appreciated Ralph 2 even if she did see it.
Luke Sanders
No, it has just been a day and a half since I read the OP so of course I don't remember the exact details of it and at a glance, your post could be interpreted as an attempt to regain online girl advantage.
William Davis
That aside, it is a bit disturbing that you're still posting motivational poster memes in 2019. And the UNIX timestamp on that image is fucking ancient.
Benjamin Hall
Mirai isn't even out in America and I don't see any downloads for it on Nyaa so I'm not even sure how any of you saw this movie. If the voters weren't provided with copies of the films I'm not surprised they didn't see it.
Carson Baker
Believe it or not, there are genuine oldfags here. And that was just a random tits or grfo pic from my folder.
Isle of dogs was pretentious hipster shit. I cannot fucking STAND wes anderson's style of directing and how all the dialog sounds in his movies.
Easton Garcia
this
being pretentious and up it's own ass doesn't automatically mean something is good, Anons
Nolan Parker
Asians are considered white unless it's more convenient for them to be otherwise.
Anthony Morris
>PRETENTIOUS! There's that buzzword from people who can't actually explain what they dislike about something. When I hear the word pretentious it always means "This thing is smarter than I am and that makes me feel insecure so I have to find a way to insult it."
Jonathan Davis
I'M OFF THE DEEP END
Lucas Rogers
Nobody cared for Ralph 2; the only reason it got nominated was b/c there’s a LOT of Disney employees in the Academy who spammed it.
Mason Rogers
Yeah, I understand that. It happens every year. One time Big Hero 6 even won the fucking Oscar. Big Hero 6. A fucking okay movie, and the Academy says "Yep, that was the best animated film from that year, also I didn't actually see any other animated films that year." I guarantee you The Tale of Princess Kaguya was a better film and I've never even seen it.
Ryan Williams
That guy is right
Benjamin Price
>As a woman the least you could do or maybe- crazy shot in the dark here- I could not base my life around other people's insecurities and watch things I actually like.
Christian Peterson
>pretentious hipster wes anderson's films are always about siple themes, typically familial bonds. isle of dogs is just about the relationship between and a boy and dogs and its displayed obviously as absurd and not pretentious. if it was pretensions it would have done a serious haiku in the opening instead of a joke haiku which set the tone for the rest of the movie.
Gavin Anderson
You could certainly do that, ma'am, but you're also not voting for which film deserves a prestigious award. As a member of the Academy the least she could do is watch all the films and make an educated vote.
Jason Williams
>Mr. Fox. >Good.
Isle of Dogs was 10 times better and 1000 times less pretentious.
Dominic Cook
user the academy gives zero shits about animation.
Hunter Howard
That could always change if the right person becomes the boss.
That just makes it all the more confusing that they treat animation so poorly when they have an actual branch for it.
Camden Robinson
Feels like if you haven't watched all the nominations then you shouldn't be allowed to vote in that category.
I don't even care if that would effectively get rid of the animation category at the Oscars ((it's a joke anyway)), it's just embarrassing to see these people treat animated media like trash, just leave it to people who actually like animation while the people at the Oscars just change it to 'The Disney Award"
Robert Perez
Why the hell was it even nominated if the voters couldn't fucking watch it?
Nathan Nelson
A good question.
Isaiah Russell
Say what you will about the Academy's incredibly stupid disdain for animation, but at least they were smart enough to create a rule that would prevent live action films like Avatar from getting nominated in the category and stealing the thunder of actual animated films.
Still, it shows you how times have changed that there was enough backlash to the Best Popular Film category that they decided not to create it at all. It's too bad Best Animated Feature is too set in stone for there to be such backlash to their handling of it.
John Bennett
They needed a Japanese movie in there to:
1. Seem diverse 2. Avoid complaints for nominating Isle of Dogs (cultural appropriation)
Kevin Jackson
>cultural appropriation It literally had Japanese actors in it.
Nicholas Perez
There were multiple Fathom Events screenings, I saw it two months ago and I live in bumfuck nowhere Minnesota
Adam Nelson
>Another Oscar year >Another stop motion faggot bitching about not winning
>There were multiple Fathom Events screenings, I saw it two months ago and I live in bumfuck nowhere Minnesota I saw it based on Hosada's previous work, which ranges from good to fantastic. Wolf Children deserved an Oscar. Mirai didn't. Kudos to Spider-Man, which was obviously the best choice, even if the only reason it won was because the Disney vote was split between two sequels.
Brody Baker
I wonder if there's a way to see the actual vote tallies. It would be interesting to see how close Spider-Man came to not winning.
Liam Williams
I imagine it was a close draw between Spiderverse and Ralph, but even if you didn't watch either movie there was enough trending shit on social media about how great Spiderverse looked that it won out.
That, or the voters kids are growing up a bit and now like the animated movies made for teens/tweens instead of just disney stuff.
Ian Gonzalez
Go back to capeshit movies if you can't stand a little different style of directing.
Isaiah Brooks
I think anyone who hates Wes Anderson is some idiot from Yea Forums who bought into the memes just because "I enjoy the films of Wes Anderson" has been spammed every day for the past five years. He's honestly one of the greatest American directors of all time.
Juan Williams
Into the spiderverse was unironically worst animated movie I've ever seen. >10 fps >tumblr plot and art >shitty animatiion >shitty designs >capeshit I think Oscar is some meme-tier award now? Awarding capeshit instead of an actual movies? I feel bad for people who got this award when it meant something though.
Austin Nelson
Feel free to name the time when the Oscar actually meant something.
Cameron Phillips
When the film you liked won
Justin Evans
Before 2005 Oscar was pretty decent. After 2005 it started to be shit, still okay sometimes. After 2011 it's started to be a full political statement award not a real one After this year it's started to be absolute trash meme award which only purpose is to promote shitty movies for degenerates.
Owen Nguyen
Shakespeare in Love.
Your move.
Caleb Flores
I said pretty decent, not perfect. There were few meh movies, but most of awarded movies were good/greata. Now situation is reversed: there are few good movies and most of the awards goes to absolute shit.
Blake Richardson
>I think Oscar is some meme-tier award now? >Now Ha ha ha
Christian Parker
I think you didn't actually watch the Oscars back then and you have some weird ulterior motive in trying to push the narrative that the Oscars are "only recently bad, they used to mean something." In fact, it's very plausible that Shakespeare in Love came out before you were even born.
Jeremiah Taylor
Nice projections, but wrong anyway. Name one (1) animated movie which was as shit as into the tumblrverse which got oscar back then.
Levi Wilson
it was a kino musical
Robert Flores
The animated feature category did not exist until 2001, so congratulations on outing yourself as an underage who doesn't actually know anything about the Oscars but hopes that if he speaks confidently, nobody will notice.
Anthony Brooks
>Before 2005 Oscar was pretty decent. retard
Oliver Campbell
They should strap the Academy reps to chairs a la Clockwork Orange and force them to watch all the movies they're voting for, that way there's no more rigging.
Nolan Allen
What the fuck, did we even watch the same movie? Sometimes the small things are important and beautiful.
