This shit isn't eligible to be nominated for an Oscar, right...

>I hope this isn't eligible for an Oscar
>Because I'd hate to see the complaining about it not being nominated for an Oscar
OP I want you to seriously think about what you wrote for a second

even if the emmy's weren't a joke, heavily serialized shows have a tough time with awards because they rely on you already knowing stuff about the characters and setting

Aren't Oscars not even the right award for a television movie? Wouldn't that be the Emmy's?

It's elligible for an Emmy, and will receive it. And Oscar I'm not sure about, it had a showing in a theater but I don't think that counts
Either way why the fuck are you making a thread complaining about hypothetical people complaining on a different website
go back

It has to run in at least one theater in LA (reason LA specifically being so Oscar voters have access to it) for at least one week for it to be Oscar eligible, and it can't have run on TV or streaming first. Steven can never be eligible but interestingly enough adult swim edited the entirety of Primal into a film and are running it in LA this week so Primal will be Oscar eligible.

>Considering it got ten times anything their other shows did I think they're pretty happy with the result.
The ratings for the movie were lower than any pre-Season 5 Adventure Time episode and only slightly above average for SU in general

What shows on CN other than Teen Titans Go that have high ratings tho

No user, it isn't. It isn't even a Disney product.

Not even TTG beats SU anymore. Judging anything by old standards like (and wrongly, since it did roughly about 600k+ the average of SU these days) is foolish.

True, though the movie is pretty newcomer friendly so maybe that'll help?

then get off twitter?

TTGO runs all day while SU just put out a tv movie
no shit it's going to get more views

TTG's premieres are beaten by SU's premieres. This isn't hard to understand user.

A lot of the times for lesser-known indie, foreign, or animated films, the distributor will set an eligibility run somewhere that isn't publicized. It's how you get a bunch of obscure movies popping up on year-end shortlists despite never getting any press. Sometimes these showtimes are never posted online, so there's no way of accurately predicting the shortlists or proof-checking every movie was eligible afterwards.

This is how the Regular Show movie somehow was eligible for the Academy award. I would think the SU movie is ineligible because I assume the theatrical screenings that took place (there was also one I knew about in Georgia) happened the same day as the TV broadcast, which I think is a no-no. But I don't fucking know, if Netflix stuff is fine I don't see how that is different. If it does pop up on this year's shortlist near the end of October, I wouldn't be surprised.

Read through the official rules (like a nerd) and found this.

"Motion pictures released in nontheatrical media on or after the first day of their Los Angeles County theatrical qualifying run remain eligible."

Meaning, it wouldn't matter if it premiered on tv at the same time as long as their LA screenings continued for a week.

Have they?

Oscars movies need to have a theatrical run/Oscar-qualifying festival win, so TV movies don't count.

Technically it was played in a theater. Billy Bob Thornton was there.
