mahnamahna Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Inside out The Good Dinosaur Peanuts some movie I haven't heard of some other movie I haven't heard of (or possibly Minions) So true about the other 2 nominees being obscure usually. I don't think Minions will make it since it's a fluffy spinoff, but who knows. DM2 made it in 2013 lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAtGender Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Will there be enough qualifying films for 5 nominees? Inside Out The Good Dinosaur Shaun the Sheep (assuming it gets a qualifying release) When Marnie was There And... oh a tossup between Home, Peanuts, or Monster Trucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murgatroyd Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Inside Out is the only certainty so far. Good Dinosaur is also very likely, assuming it doesn't get pushed back yet again. Peanuts is doing something new and different with CG. The Short Films & Feature Animation Branch really values craft, so that's a point in its favor for a nomination. Nostalgia will also work for it, especially with the older members. I'm also expecting at least one film distributed by GKids that few of us have heard of. When Marnie Was There is a strong possibility, along with Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet if it gets a qualifying release this year.

rukaio101 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I'm not really expecting it to, but if 'The Boy and the Beast' manages to get a nomination this year, I will instantly forgive the Academy for snubbing Lego/HTTYD2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently not judging by The Lego Movie's snub. I saw The Prophet in Toronto last year and really hated it. I hope it's not even in the conversation.

Jonwo Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Monster Trucks is CG/live action so likely not to eligible. The number of animated films released this year is comparable to last year despite only 1 film from DWA and no film from WDAS since both Sony and Universal have an animated film this year and Pixar has two films plus Paramount released SpongeBob. I'm sure Shaun the Sheep will get a qualifying run, I imagine The Weinstein Company or Universal will eventually release it in the US.

darkelf Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I'm not sold on The Good Dino making it. If Inside Out is considerably better they might not want to vote for a merely good Pixar movie when there's a great one in the mix. Obviously, both of them could be great or both of them could be not so great but my bet right now would be on IO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside Out and Peanuts are the strongest contenders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murgatroyd Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Apparently not judging by The Lego Movie's snub. The Lego Movie's innovations were impressive on a software level, but in the end product, it was a difference in degree rather than kind. They did a very, very good job of rendering lots and lots of plastic, but "looking like plastic" is something computer graphics have been doing since day one. In contrast, my immediate reaction on seeing the first teaser for Peanuts was "I've never seen anything quite like that." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Inside Out will win. Second most likely is Minions, then Peanuts, then Good Dinosaur, imo.

You've never seen a cartoon before? lol LEGO is amazingly impressive on a visual level. Even though its been out for over a year, whenever I see a clip or shot of it, I can't help but think "how the fuck did they do that?"

FrozenUnicorn Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Inside Out The Good Dinosuar Peanuts Minions I'm DEFINITELY calling for IO to win. Edited March 21, 2015 by FrozenUnicorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Freak Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I think Minions will sneak away with a nod. Wouldn't be surprised if The Good Dinosaur got snubbed instead, especially if it pales in comparison to Inside Out. Kind of like a DM2 getting nominated over MU situation.
