Ninjago getting as drubbed as it did was kind of a shocker, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[...] Because if every single academy member votes, there's bound to be many that disregard indies enough to snub them entirely. My hope is that many academy voters who used to not be able to vote for animated make the responsible choice not to vote even if they can, on the basis that they haven't seen many of the film's because they don't care enough about what they perceive to be a genre. I just read the actual rules, and it's not as bad as the press coverage/word-of-mouth made it sound. It isn't a case of "everyone in the Academy can nominate animated movies"; it's "everyone in the Academy will get an invitation to join the nominating committee". Only the ones who actually do join, and who "see a minimum percentage of submitted eligible films as defined by the then-current procedures", will be voting to nominate.

I feel a lot better about the situation now! I'll dive and say that The Breadwinner and Loving Vincent are both locked for nominations if that is the case- and I am very happy with that.

Morieris Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I mean, Coco is winning through a combination of being outstanding / the Academy being in Disney's pocket but still...I refuse to believe that many people saw, let alone liked, let alone catigorically nominated The Boss Baby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) This year should give Pixar their astonishing 9th win out of the 17 awards given. And seems unlikely that they won't have their 10th and 11th in the next two years. Edited January 23, 2018 by MovieMan89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murgatroyd Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 And the numbers confirm what we all already knew. The outcome is inevitable, and two of the nominees don't really belong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFanaticGuy34 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Shame Despicable Me 3 didn’t get a nomination. But very surprised The Boss Baby got one. Though it make sense since it was the near $500M WW-hit while Captain Underpants wasn’t. Ferdinand got nominated as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I could definitely see Isle of Dogs pulling it out here if it continues Anderson's winning streak. And I wouldn't blame the Academy for picking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanic2187 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 at least they didn't nominate despicable me 3 or cars 3.....I would pick in this corner of the world instead of baby boss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Monsters U and Finding Dory were on the fringes of the worthy nominees, anyway. Dory level reviews would probably be enough to get Incredibles 2 in this year.

Morieris Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I'm not going to be fussed over white people voicing dogs, but I see why people are angry if the Japanese boy is voiced by a white person (ala Kubo). But we shall see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
