Empire Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I think it'll take a lot to take this oscar from LEGO now I don't see why since HTTYD2 was better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Lego has the advantage in both box office and reviews. Unless BH6 breaks out, it should be going to Lego. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) I actually think Princess Kaguya is #2 right now because in addition to critical acclaim it's likely the last chance they have to give Ghibli its much-deserved second Oscar and Isao Takahata his first and only one. I think it has much more of a chance against Lego than The Wind Rises did against Frozen. 1. Lego 2. Kaguya 3. HTTYD2 4. Big Hero 6 5. Boxtrolls Edited November 4, 2014 by Jake Gittes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Looks like it may be a dead heat for that final spot between Boxtrolls, BH6 and BoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 BH6 should still get it. Unless SotS gets really good buzz, it looks like it really will be LEGO's to lose. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 LEGO, as still the best Hollywood film of the year, should win but I still fear for its loss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickvD Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Lego Movie deserves to win from what I've seen so far. If not Lego then something independent. We'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I've seen BH6. It won't win. No chance. This looks like LEGO has it locked up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Yeah, BH6 isn't winning, but it should be nominated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuardiaStar Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Big Hero 6 is in a lock for this. I loved the Lego Movie, but this movie has absolutely surpassed that on so many levels. I still love both, I enjoyed BH6 more. Big Hero 6 is worthy of the Oscar imo. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 You shouldn't say "lock" for something based solely on personal opinion. The reviews aren't as good, and in all likelihood it's not going to surpass Lego in revenue either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I think the Academy will feel the same as well come awards time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuardiaStar Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) The average rating is low for Big Hero 6. If we look at RT, critics: 91%, user: 94%IMDB: 8.4/10 I don't know what you mean by being low? Because that doesn't look low to me at all. I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Ethan Hunt Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Granted I haven't seen any other animations this year I find it hard to believe The Lego Movie deserves to win with what I've heard about HTTYD 2 and BH6. Then again I might change my mind once I've seen those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
