Inside Out also nominated for Best Original Screenplay
inside out will win
also no lava? fucking academy
Will Redmayne NTR Leo again?
>Anomalisa, Dick Williams' latest effort and World of Tomorrow got nominated
Granted, chances are none of those will win (especially not Anomalisa), but it's a step in the right direction.
>>78978397
>Inside Out also nominated for Best Original Screenplay
Then it's ogre, it already won
Best Animated Feature Oscars are the joke of the ceremony. Voters don't really care and often just for whatever's popular.
>>78978512
It's a non-sequel Pixar movie. It already won before the movie even came out.
>>78978514
>Best Animated Feature Oscars are the joke of the ceremony
>Not the entire Oscars Award Ceremony itself
That award ceremony is the pinnacle of the gilded cage that is Hollywood and its practices. It lost all meaning at least two decades ago.
>>78978514
That's pretty much what happens with every category. Majority of the voters really don't care.
>>78978397
Jesus I didn't even know about this Ghibli film, I'm genuinely slippin', In used to be all over this shit
>>78978487
No, this is Leo's year. They'll vote for him because he hasn't won one yet and they'll feel bad.
Not entirely concerned about Inside Out being the only reasonable contender because a) The "Best Animated Feature" category is inherently a joke of a category (not that the entire ceremony itself isn't the same) and b) at least it's a good film and not a mediocre offering like past winners Brave, Frozen and Big Hero 6.
The short category is much more interesting, though if "Best Animated Short Film" is to be interpreted as the short film with the best animation, then Prologue walks away with the prize easily because HOLY SHIT RICHARD WILLIAMS IS THE MOST TALENTED ANIMATOR ALIVE
>>78978619
I liked it but it was definitely worse than Princess Kaguya. Both in terms of story and art. Still worth watching though.
>>78978604
A contest where the jury has no obligation to see every nominees before taking a decision makes no sense. You can't even say that the results reflect the jury's taste has they didn't "taste" everything.
>>78978695
The preview makes it looks like it's about
>Animation still being treated as a genre instead of a medium.
>>78978739
No, it's about friendship. Sort of like Kids on the Slope where you get this gay vibe but they're completely straight.
>>78978739
The whole movie makes it look like that too. Guess you'll just have to watch it and find out.
Anomalisa should win. It won't, but it should.
>>78978397
The Oscars are such a fucking joke. Especially with the animation category. They always choose Disney and call it a day. Most of the """judges"""" think watching animated films is beneath them as well.
>>78978397
I've seen ads for anomalisa how is it?
>>78978867
It's typical Charlie Kaufman, if you've seen any of his films before
>www.cartoonbrew.com/award-season-focus/proof-that-oscar-voters-are-clueless-about-animation-109456.html
Never forget.
>>78978856
Any bets that Eddie Redmayne is going to win again. Just to prove the theory that anyone can win a Oscar if they played someone who struggled being crippled, gay, or trans?
>>78978922
>Heavily promote movie
>Movie becomes more well known
>Movie wins Oscar because it's a popularity contest
>Oscar becomes free promotion for Movie
The contest is basically "Best Ad-campaign" and the prize for winning is more Ads.
>>78978971
Well, at least in trailer, he makes a convincing trans.
>>78978856
If you say that Pixar is Disney, I guess but...
Disney's only gotten one award for Animation.
Pixar has Eight wins
Nickolodeon has one win
Studio Ghibli has one win
DreamWorks has one (two if you count Wallace and Gromet, but they share that with Aardman Animations)
And then there's Happy Feet, but I don't really know who you'd say won that, Animal Logic I guess?
>>78979242
Disney has two wins, Big Hero 6 won last year.
>>78979305
oh, right that was Disney, wasn't it?
Then Disney has two and Pixar has seven.
I hope THR interviews the guy who hates CHINESE FUCKING SHITS again
>>78979242
Happy Feet was WB.
We should also note that we live in a ridiculous universe where it's possible that George Miller can win an Oscar for Happy Feet but potentially walk away with nothing for Fury Road.
>>78979365
I thought WB only distributed the movie outside of Australia?
>>78978397
This is a much better list compared to last year, any film can win and not get snobbed.
>Big Hero 6 winning over Kaguya
Really?
>>78979447
>Big Hero 6 winning over Kaguya
And Song of the Sea
And HTTYD2
And Boxtrolls
It's like when Brave won, it was arguably the worst film nominated.
>>78979553
I felt that HTTYD2 was comparitively weaker than the first one, and doesn't really stand against the other films. I'm still miffed that The Lego Movie wasn't even nominated.
>When Brave won
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-----
>>78978922
>Marnie is nominated this year
I wonder if "Chinese fuckin' shit" guy will be back to do this years "no one cares about the animated category" article.
>>78979447
>>78979553
The best thing about last year was that The Lego Movie wasn't even nominated.
>>78978867
It's utter shit.
>>78979662
Yet The Croods and Despicable Me 2 were.
>>78978788
>He's so handsome he takes my breath away
I dunno man, it was pretty homo at times.
>>78979553
What's wrong with Brave? It was okay and it wasn't about (typical) princess shit.
>>78978604
This. The oscars voters just pick the pretentious 4 hour long movie where nothing happens and get on with their day.
>>78979967
>It was okay
That's about it. I haven't seen Frankenweenie but ParaNorman, WIR and Pirates! were all much better than Brave.
How do you guys stay informed on all the newer indie animated films that are released throughout the year? Boy and the World flew completely under the radar for me, I've never even heard of it before today. Are there forums or sites that discuss the more obscure side of contemporary animated cinema?
>>78980473
To be fair, Boy & The World is two years old, it only just got a US release recently, so most people on /co who'd be interested in it would have already watched it quite some time ago.
You do none of those old farts have not seen any of those films on that list or ever will. They'll just vote Inside Out as it's the most recent popular fiom.
>>78978397
Prolouge is out?
World of Tomorrow is strong though, it might get Hertzfeldt that Oscar that Rejected never could.
>The Boy and the Beast not on the list
FURAGS
BLOWN THE FUCK OUT
>>78981044
So? Unlike last year all the candidates are good, hell this is the first Oscar lineup in which the Ghibli movie is actually the weakest one nominated.
>>78981217
>Honda shit
Thank fuck, all his movies are crap.
>>78979359
>>78979628
What's this "Chinese shits" thing?

>>78978455
Lava was awful.
>>78982075
These people aren't just too stupid to deserve a vote, they seem too stupid to be able to even feed themselves.
>>78978512
>Best Original Screenplay
Every year, I am more and more amazed at how stupid the Academy is.
>>78978512
Most people think Hateful Eight will get it since Academy fucking loves Tarantino.
>>78982303
Lava was cute and touching. Fucking shit made me tear before the movie started.
>Being a 21-year old guy crying in the movie theater while my 11-year old sister asks me what the matter.
>She thought Lava was boring
>>78982913
Hateful Eight wasn't nominated for best screenplay.
>>78978604
yep.
they either pick from movies they saw or looked for the best reviewed one. as someone who saw revenant i can tell you it was so unbearably boring to watch and i can't believe leo is getting awards for a character with so little personality and screen presence. he's winning because he was out in the cold and got mauled on screen by a CGI bear.
>>78982940
shit i just checked and you're right. what the hell it was way better than django by comparison.
well here's hoping ex machina or straight out of compton gets it, but it'll probably be spotlight
>>78983036
The fuck even is Spotlight? It's nominated for so much and I've never even heard of it.
>Boy and the World gets nominated
>No chance of winning with that lineup
Fucking hell.
>>78982913
I always find that strange since Tarantino because makes "arty" grindhouse films.
>>78978397
>Oscars
>Giving the first and smallest fuck about animation
Laughed pretty hard. Now watch Inside-Out win because the judges will see Pixar written on it.
>>78982650
Well most of the voting committee are composed of very old money rich white dudes.
>>78982925
I loved it until the volcano came back to life.
I thought they were going for a message about music touching people throughout generations and how you can fall in love with people just through their work
>>78983654
>HUEHUEs getting a Nom
Disgusting
Inside Out is a flick
Anomalisa is a movie
Shaun the Sheep is cinéma
>>78985288
You joke but Shaun the Sheep was one of the best animated movies of 2015. Just straight up a joy to watch.
>>78984060
you're a fucking retard then
>>78986528
Come on now. This is a nice thread.
>>78979161
>Oscar
>popularity contest
I hope you're just referring to the Animation category.
>>78978514
This. Ghibli lost two years in a row to fucking Frozen and Big Hero 6.
>>78987385
If it can work like this in one category then the whole system is flawed. I remember seeing a statement from an academy member that they voted for a film in the foreign film category solely because he liked the poster, and had not actually seen any of the films in that category at all.
>>78987474
Wind Rises and especially Kaguya weren't good movies. They didn't deserve to win anything.
>>78987474
Frozen was too big not to loose, that came from a million miles away. BH6 beating Kaguya and Song of the Sea was a real joke though.
It should be Shaun The Sheep that wins. It was a silent masterpiece.
>>78987589
Lego Movie getting snubbed too. Was it because it had live action at the end?
I want Shaun the Sheep to win, I love Aardman Animations so much.
there is no way Anomalisa isn't going to win. It's a fucking Kaufman movie.
>>78978788
Yeah Kids on the Slope was pretty damn gay. If anything, the way they shoehorned the girl into the story took away from how incredible the bromance was. I honestly don't care if they're gay or not, but the foundation of that series was the two male friends and nothing should have distracted from it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZNPdUjaXys
Boy and the world seems good, what is it?
>>78978695
The plot is better than Kaguya
>>78978739The blonde girl is the MC grandma's ghost who wants to spend time with her because when she died MC was still very young
>Peanuts not even nominated
I cannot wait for those old fucks in the Academy to be dead within the next ten years.
>>78987725
I don't think it was ineligible, it just wasn't selected.
Reminder that the Academy voters voted for 12YAS before watching it because white guilt.
Also Madoka Rebellion was disqualified for being too violent kids but Anomalisa, which features a graphic sex scene, is allowed?
>>78989368
Hollywood are finally seeing that sex is less damaging than graphic violence?
That's a good thing.
>>78983541
>The fuck even is Spotlight? It's nominated for so much and I've never even heard of it.
It's about a newspaper team investigating church pedophilia. The DVD screener is on trackers but it's only a 7.5/10 movie. But hey, Batman and The Hulk working together.
>>78989368
>because white guilt
It's not just that though. The Academy always votes for what they think the Academy should pick, not what they thought was the best movie.
Pic related. I enjoyed this movie, but I doubt the people who voted for the Academy bothered to watch a silent movie.
It'd be interesting if the Academy voted based on the shit they actually watched and enjoyed.
>Marvel movies win every year
>>78987544
The was dull and unsatisfying, but Kaguya was excellent. Marnie was not the best either.
>>78989368
>Madoka Rebellion was disqualified for being too violent kids
WHAT? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? What kind of stupid restriction is that? It's not a kid's movie! I get that the Oscar's has always treated the animation category as "for kids," but I didn't know they were so brazen about it. GOD DAMN! I'VE NEVER BEEN SO RETROACTIVELY ANGRY!
>>78978971
Leo's character was literally raped by a bear and then went autistic, that is way more shocking and Oscarbait
>>78990281
>raped by a bear
Like, mauled, or actually raped?
>>78989541
I liked that movie better when it was about The zodiac and Hulk, Prince of Persia and Iron Man went bananas.
What's with Mark Ruffles and journalists?
>>78990363
He was just mauled buthe rescues an Indian girl from being raped.
>>78990564
Again, by the bear?
>>78990363
The bear mauls his lower half and almost cripple him, I suppose his genitals were pretty hurt.
I'm not much of a fan of Inarritu, because he's a Jerk, but I really liked this one, way more than Birdman, I hope only leo and Lubezki win
>>78990686
>If we filmed the whole thing in front of greenscreen while sipping coffee it would be a good time, but the movie would be shit.
So he put the crew through hell for the sake of his own ego.
And I think The Revenant will win best actor, cinematography and picture, but Miller will get best director.
>>78978397
I feel really bad for Richard Williams. His work in animation is so beautiful, but I just don't see him as a storyteller.
I feel like he became obsessed with animation, obsessed with the tool rather than the work, like a cinematographer obsessing over the quality of the camera so much that they ignore the basic composition and character of the film, that is to tell a story through imagery.
Recobbled was incredible to watch, but it's not something that sticks to me. There's no story! I mean, someone like Rockwell tells a story through a single portrait. I don't know. It just feels like Williams is a master of the frosting rather than the cake itself. I really hope I'm proven wrong and he makes something incredible, and that he's able to fucking finish it!
>>78989368
Got a source on the Madoka thing? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
>>78978397
Can we all acknowledge that last year Big Hero 6 beating Kaguya was the Biggest Fucking Bit of Bullshit There Will Ever Be?
>>78990591
>furries
>>78990363
It was a female bear
It just mauled the fuck out of him and tore out his throat so he couldn't speak
Also I think it broke one of his legs
Who cares about these racist awards, of course they wouldn't even mention Home anywhere
>>78992136
Big Hero 6 was one of Disney's weaker movies, but I'm sick and fucking tired of people bawling their eyes out over Frozen and Inside Out winning when they actually deserved to.
>>78978455
inside out was shit though
>>78993622
Leo has gone too far
>>78989204
Kaguya's plot was an old legend. Not saying that that makes it immune to criticism I just thought they portrayed it really well.
>>78993688
I would not say Frozen deserved to beat Wind Rises or Ernest and Celestine, as both of those are great. Inside Out I really did love, but I'd be more than happy with Marnie or Anomalisa winning.
Big Hero 6 beating Kaguya is like buying sushi from a convenience store when you can get an authentic and fantastic meal next door made by actual Japanese chefs.
>>78993929
I'd never read the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. Kaguya punched me in the gut.
>>78993955
I don't think Marnie was better than Inside Out.
>>78989368
>Anomalisa, which features a graphic sex scene, is allowed?
Go on.
>>78993955
>Marnie
That's literally the weakest film nominated.
>>78978397
>Peanuts didn't get nominated
>>78993955
Wind Rises is miyazaki second weakest movie and has shit voice acting
