If not even Inside Out could make it into Best Picture, this isn't either (especially under the current voting system). What about previous animated films that got nominations?

Toy Story 3 and Up were in years where there was a 1-10 voting system, plus those were widely hailed as being the absolute best of cinema, period. As great as Zootopia is, it's level of praise doesn't reach the otherworldly level that those films did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it matters, but I personally think Zootopia is better than those other two examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs to be listed on 5% as the number 1 film on 5% of the ballots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the exact reason I said last year that IO will NOT get a best pic nom even tho it deserved it On this forum most people didn't believe me but I was 100% sure it won't. And neither will ZOO. It all comes to the voting system. If WALL-E couldn't on a 1-5 then ZOO won't. UP and ts3 were lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Zootopia ain't happening. Especially with two other possible animated contenders this year including another from Disney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'm betting expectations for Dory and Moana are that they'll at least come close to that 8.1 average rating. Finding Nemo has a 99%/8.7 rating and while it may be difficult for Moana to quite match it it'll have the later release date as an advantage. They may end up disappointing but I'd rather not assume that'll be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zootopia has 8.1 and its number of reviews is yet just half of these films. So while its true that almost everyone liked zootopia just like these others, most thought this was a very good film compared to most thinking that the other three were near-masterpieces. If IO couldn't get a BP nomination, even though the comp wasn't even too tough, there's almost no chance of Zoo getting it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yeah Zootopia's acclaim is closer to something like the first HTTYD, which no one would ever predict for a BP nom. Even with its thematic depth I think its shot at a nomination is pretty close to non-existent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Zootopia will at least get nominated for Animated Feature and Song. Right now Original Screenplay looks weak enough but there's plenty of time for that to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I certainly hope there are three original songs I like more than Try Everything this year, at least one from the other Disney film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannastop Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I sure hope they nominate Zootopia for Original Screenplay. but they'd have to nominate at least 7 people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel M Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I wouldn't put my money on Eastwood as far as winning BP/BD. Besides the fact that he is very hit or miss, even if the movie gets great reviews and become a hit, it will still be highly unlikely for him to win for a third time. Scorsese on the hand is the most likely sight unseen at least for a nomination, even if Silence is in "noble failure" territory like Hugo. If it's a hit and the kind of "important" academy likes, they won't have any problem giving him a second one. But that's a lot of IFs. Probably a movie with a director that isn't yet on the "oscar" radar will win. From the big 5 of this years oscars, only The Revenant was on the radar last spring. McCarthy was coming off of Cobbler, Adam McKay was Will Ferell's guy, Mad Max wasn't remotely oscar material and no one knew there was a movie called Room not starring Tommy Wiseau.

CoolioD1 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 that hugo as a "noble failure" idea just sounds like a you thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Well Hugo had really bad and misleading trailers (it looked like a fantasy film, as well as putting Scorseses name on a family film really was not a good idea in the trailer), also it seems Marty is missing his lucky charm Leo in the film.

filmlover Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Hugo was only a failure from a financial perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
