Joel M Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 23 hours ago, CoolioD1 said: that hugo as a "noble failure" idea just sounds like a you thing. I like the movie, I meant it more as a financial "noble failure'. Hollywood obviously loved it and the way it paid tribute to cinema's early days, but the industry almost never forgives such big scale financial flops. They made an exception for Hugo in an "even if it tanked, it was worth it" kind of way, but it was never winning the big awards. If it wasn't the Artist it would be something else that didn't cost 170m and then fell flat on its face at the box office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Hugo's only real competition would have been The Descendants, and that would have made for an even more forgettable BP winner. (Not that it's stopped them before). I think Scorsese would have at least won Director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As great as Zootopia is, it's level of praise doesn't reach the otherworldly level that those films did. It might not make it more likely, seeing how Inside Out was snubbed, but Zootopia passed Up and Toy Story 3 on Rotten Tomatoes' list! http://www.rottentomatoes.com/top/bestofrt/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I have no idea what their algorithm is for that list, but I only pay attention to the average rating and Zootopia's is still less than both of theirs Sent from my Z667T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sill, it's higher on the list for some reason. And Zootopia is my favorite animated feature anyways, so even if it gets 10 negative reviews in a row, I'll be fine.

AniNate Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 The competition will knock on wood just be too stiff later this year. Dory and Moana are both aiming for critical hosannas too and are more likely to get a token animation slot if there is one Sent from my Z667T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zootopia is a pretty tough act to follow in terms of Rotten Tomatoes ranking. Even if you're hyped for those two movies, you have to admit that.

filmlover Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 What are you all arguing over? Zootopia isn't getting nominated for Best Picture and that's that that. Get over it and move on. lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but it's more satisfying to back that assertion up with facts than to just say "get over it" I loved the film but I have no illusions of the academy paying attention to it next January. And yes, I do want Dory to live up to my hype too which would in all likelihood mean it's a bigger box office hit and will be fresher in their minds, regardless of what that "ranking" says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't say it's impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten best-reviewed wide releases of the past year: Inside Out Spotlight Mad Max: Fury Road Brooklyn Carol Room Star Wars: The Force Awakens Shaun the Sheep Zootopia Sicario Zootopia would be just on the fringe of a ten-film pool if the Academy went strictly by reviews, and we all know animated movies have a tougher time getting in anyway. I would suggest you be content with the movie being a big hit and enjoyed by pretty much everyone who's seen it rather than build up nonexistent hopes of a Best Picture nomination, especially coming off Inside Out's snub Edited April 1, 2016 by tribefan695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like that type of hyperbole. I'm also guessing you manually searched for a bunch of movies that have a higher average review score, even though on rt's automated list, only Inside Out is higher.

AniNate Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Okay, I was trying to be nice and ignore it before but I really don't care one iota about RT's automated ranking, and no one else on here has until you. The average rating is the only thing that matters. Especially with an animated movie you need a lot of 5/5s, not the 4/5s most have been giving Zootopia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, now that I think about it, the chances that Zootopia gets a best picture nomination is about the same as BvS making $70 million this weekend. It's technically plausible, but laughable to suggest. Edited April 1, 2016 by cannastop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Zootopia is not getting a Best Picture nomination. Everything would have to fail for that to happen. Moving on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
