Even though I haven’t seen this movie, I’m rooting for either it or Isle of Dogs to win Best Animated Feature for no reason other than that I’m sick of Disney always winning that category. It probably helps that Disney’s two big animated films this year are sequels that aren’t considered as good as their predecessors.

Also, for whatever reason the Academy hasn’t liked those LEGO movies (Granted they were right to snub Batman, they just should have picked a different movie to nod instead)

The Animation branch does the nominating and they're as particular about the animation and technical skill or even more so than about the entirety of the movie.  The LEGO technique doesn't seem to appeal to them.

 

I thought LEGO was ok  but might have won if it had been nominated -  while Batman LEGO was meh with far better ads than the movie itself.  Boss Baby though....🤔

One can wonder if they were not put off by the amount of live action that was present in the movie also (was short but quite big in term of moment/importance theme wise).

 A number of the academy branches are notorious for having some real quirks when it comes to nominations.

The Writers guild, for instance, in infamous for their rules about which writers get screen credit, which often leads to the people who ended up writing most of the film not getting screen credit,while writers who made what ended up being a small contribution get the credit.

But Disney will have some  compensation in they will get a slice of Spideyverse's profits from Marvel's deal with Sony.

Is that how the deal works? I thought the deal was just that Spider-Man would be able to appear in Disney produced MCU films in exchange for Marvel making Spider-Man films for Sony.

In the first deal it worked like that, for the renewed one (the one the Amazing spider-man 1-2 was made on) it was not working like that, Marvel gave $200M and the revenues participation on those movies to Sony in exchange for getting the merchandising rights back.

 

On that deal it was the other way around, Marvel was giving a bit of money to Sony when they were making a SpiderMan movies (it was calculated on the movie box office but around $25M), has a thank you for making an giant toy ads kind of deal.

 

Not sure for the latest one.

DisMar still doesn't get a cut of the actual movie earnings going by these reports:

But they can merchandise off the films as you mentioned. Also, the second deal gave Marvel the rights back for small screen animation (not sure about live action) which was why Sony's exceptional The Spectacular Spider-Man ended up being a casualty.

Come on guys this movie looks like it should be on cartoon Network, the clips do not look fascinating, they look dated. Since when did everyone get so damn pretentious

[VENOM]

This is another win for Sony. The people who say they can’t make good Spider-Man movies are running for cover

I'll still watch it and give an honest opinion about it but pretty much everyone I know doesn't seem keen on this due to the visuals. 

 

I'm also not expecting a best Animation win. If their Lego movie didn't nab a nomination despite being one of the most creative animations in a long time I don't see this doing so either. Lord Miller and bro will be the Christopher Nolan of animation when it comes to the Oscars

Funny, everyone I know says it looks amazing. 

 

Almost as funny as you trying to deny that you hate this move with passion for some reason lol.

Never seen you post before...and never will again!  Can't imagine you ever say anything that interests me with such a absurd take

if everyone thought the animation looks amazing then 100m OW would be all but assured. When it doesn't we can assume my opinion was shared by many. Don't assume that my doubts mean I hate a movie, it's just a movie lol

Haha yes claiming mist children haven't seen a 40 year old musical and doubting a 400m total is also a sign of hatred

good riddance, can't learn anything if you can't accept different takes

The texture of the image/CGI looks really bad on the big screen but it is oh so meta and fresh and creative and artistic and hip.

At least, it will look good, which GA prefers usually.

This movie looks pretty good to me. I like the unique animation style it has, and it’s the first superhero movie to truly tackle the concept of a multiverse, which helps it stand out even more.
