rukaio101 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 To be honest, I think MLP has about as much chance of being nominated as one of the Pokemon movies. Regardless of actual quality, I don't really see it being widely viewed as, fairly or unfairly, anything except a glorified TV movie for fans of the TV show. Anyway, I'm actually kinda interested in the Oscar race this year. The lack of any major Western Animation frontrunners (except maybe Coco) has left the doors open for a lot of potential surprises and underdogs. At this point in time, I'm currently stanning for 'In this Corner of the World' (which, knowing my track record, means it's probably almost certain to miss out) but I'm also going to see The Breadwinner in a couple of weeks, along with a few other smaller animations, so we'll see if I end up changing my mind. Also, I really want Captain Underpants to pick up a nom. Partly because it'd be hilarious but also because I genuinely did really like that film. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morieris Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Quote Only The Boss Baby (which had mixed reviews at best) can be considered original. It's still based off of a book. How close to it? No idea, but CU is the same way and I know that wasn't 100% beat by beat. My bet is it's considerably less deviating from it's source than BB. Frankly, this race will only be unpredictable if Coco is completely snubbed. If that's in, it's winning because the Academy doesn't care to vote beyond what they recognize at a glance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 coco probably only needs like brave level reviews to win this. maybe not even that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel M Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 If Coco has Brave reception (and BO) it has this in the bag. But what if it's another Good Dinosaur? Then I have no idea what the hell is gonna win. Cancel the category? My Little Pony has a shot after all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if The Simpsons Movie missed despite being both a critical and box office smash, there's really no hope for My Little Pony getting a nomination.

CoolioD1 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Kinda looking too far ahead but I really feel like Wes Anderson is gonna take it for next year's race. Especially since the Pixar and WDAS offerings are gonna be sequels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 There were animated films that didn't even get nominated last year that would have easily won this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolifofo Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I saw all the major animated releases for this year so far, and I only see Lego Batman and Lego Ninjago as being barely worthy of nominations. The former might get a nom, but I doubt Ninjago will. Coco will certainly get a nomination so that leaves us with 3-4 open spots just waiting to be filled by anything half-decent. I have zero hope for The Star and Ferdinand, so I really don't see why indie films shouldn't conquer most of these left spots. If they don't then this award category has officially gone to shit with the recent rule chance if they're actually going to fill it with the likes of Despicable Me 3, Boss Baby, Smurfs, and what not. Not that it was perfect before, but this would be the nail in the coffin. Just my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any other year it would probably be a long shot, but it was better than people expected and there's usually at least two mainstream-ish movies, so I think there's a shot.

The Panda Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I wasn't thinking LEGO Batman would make it in, but it has a strong chance given how barren the field is. Cars 3 and DM3 are actual possibilities too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 DreamWorks got double noms in this category in 2011 (in part because Cars 2 was a dud and they decided to shut out The Adventures of TinTin because of the animation) so I wouldn't rule out double Pixar noms this year (assuming Coco is a winner of course). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Among indie/foreign films I'd say Loving Vincent has a strong chance of getting in and so does Mary and the Witch's Flower (GKids has acquired it for a "winter release" so presumably they're pushing it this year even if there's still no commercial release date). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
