I admit, Zootopia's the only animated film I've seen all year thus far. But this race is still incredible to follow!

"American Honey and Chronic over Hell or High Water and Loving? Huh! That might be something to think about..."- said by a certain percentage of Oscar voters.

So about Hell or high water , fantastic movie & amazing screenplay but the thing is will it get enough #1 votes ???
I really don't like that rule at all. Yeah, it's hard for me to believe that it'll get that many votes, which would be a shame in my opinion. Best movie I've seen so far this year! (haven't seen much)

After seeing Doctor Strange yesterday, I think it stands a great chance!

Having not see Song In The Sea, I'd give 2014 to The Tale Of Princess Kaguya, but Big Hero 6 was good in its own right.

The only win I have real qualms with is Brave's win. Paranorman and Wreck-It Ralph were both much better, IMO. I can understand if the three stop-motion movies ate each other's votes, but it's almost as if the judged the cover by the book on Wreck-It Ralph. Brave was beautifully animated, but otherwise generic. Tbh, Paranorman would've gotten my Oscar.

It's disappointing that Norm of the North and Ratchet and Clank didn't make the shortlist. *laughs to himself*

There is a lot of movies on that list, for sure! I think we're in for some upsets and surprises.

I think Hacksaw Ridge is being underestimated here, especially after Billy Lynn received both mixed reviews to begin with, and lower scores than the WW2 drama. I guess time and box office will tell.

The Little Prince in tenth is an injustice that pains me. That it is under SLOP is an abomination.
I'd put Little Prince in 9th and replace SLOP with either My Life as a Courgette or The Long Way North, personally.

I think Fences is in the running for the win after seeing that trailer. Looks like that Oscars So White thing is down for the count.

It's Ghibli. It's a lock.
Especially after When Marnie Was There was nominated over The Good Dinosaur and The Peanuts Movie last year, I think anything by Ghibli would be a lock...

Your Name should definitely release next year if it wants more credibility. Next year, it definitely wouldn't be so crowded... at the moment, the only 2017 animated films that I could see definitely getting nominations are Pixar's Coco and Triplets of Belleville director Sylvian Chomet's The Thousand Miles. Most other animated films seem to be either sequels or directed towards the younger audience.
It would be great to see a non-Ghibli anime film be nominated, but I think Your Name wouldn't be able to achieve that this year.

Trolls over Sing? Doubt it.
The problem with Lego is in its own name and concept. Animated feature about a brand of toys? No matter how good it is or the success. No matter, for example, how good Angry Birds would have been. Or even Trolls. Academy won't ever like to nom such things.
I know that Sing plot is not that original. But it feels fresh and it is kind of a musical. Being released close to other praised musical (La La Land) will be helpful. It is also meaningful to underline that Sing has premiered at TIFF.
Now I guess I know how that Emoji film will fare next year...

Live By Night, The Promise, and Collateral Beauty all got new trailers recently. They all look like good movies!

Moonlight currently has a 100 out of 100 on Metacritic. I think salivating might be an understatement!

I think the nominations will look like this
- Song from La La Land
- Another Song from La La Land
- Song from Moana
- Song from Sing Street
- Undetermined
#5 could be a song from Moana or Sing Street. Or maybe "Try Everything" from Zootopia or "Can't Stop the Feeling" from Trolls.
I could see "Nobody Knows" by The Lumineers from Pete's Dragon sneaking into that 5th spot.

Shrek was huge when it was first out. With the ho-hum reactions to the last two sequels, people tend to forget that the first film had pretty much every conceivable demographic on board, hence the first sequel's stunning explosion at the box office.
Furthermore, Wallace & Gromit's win wasn't a surprise in the slightest. It was the unanimous favorite to win heading into the ceremony. Yes, Ghibli had established presence with the win for Spirited Away, but hardly anyone was anticipating that Howl's would come close to a win because: 1.) it was neither as acclaimed nor as successful (relatively speaking) as Spirited Away, and 2.) unlike Spirited Away, it was up against English-language films that drew significant plaudits from critics (whereas the competition three years earlier was a smattering of hit films aimed mostly at kids... and Treasure Planet).
It's kinda crazy to consider how deep this category could be this year (although they won't have the balls to nominate Sausage Party), and yet Zootopia is still going to win in a landslide unless Moana ends up being some Frozen-level phenomenon.
I would've thought Corpse Bride would have won over Wallace and Gromice back then! XD

I'm having more and more doubt that Silence will even release this year, to be honest... It's been awhile since we've heard any news at all... I guess it would make a prime 2017 candidate against Dunkirk, though.

I have seen most of the top rated anime movies. It is not surprising at all that only Ghibli works have been nominated as they as so far above the rest, with the exception of maybe a few like Wolf Children. The reason I am saying "Your Name" has a chance is because early word is its on level with Ghiblis best. Will find out if that is true soon since it comes out in Japan today.
Well, it is directed by the person that directed 5 Centimeters Per Second. That one is really well known!

I still think The Wind Rises should have won that year.
