People who have never been in that role presume it to be a much easier lift with all those extra hands (and $$$), rather than a larger burden to shoulder. Or not wanting to nominate here and feel boxed in for the rest of the series Like y'all know I'm no Avatar stan, and while I can come up with reasons/explanations as to why, doesn't mean I agree with the result I was just ranting, I understud from your post were just explaining their thought process.

Had an uphill battle. Us also earned zero nominations as well. I wouldn't be surprised if he just becomes one of those filmmakers that they embrace once and then never do so again.

CoolioD1 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 haven't seen women talking but 1. Avatar The Way of Water 2. The Fabelmans 3. Triangle of Sadness 4. Tar 5. Top Gun Maverick 6. Everything Everywhere All At Once 7. Banshees of Inisherin 8. Elvis 9. All Quiet on the Western Front That's actually a pretty good line up i like all of these, none of the inclusions are making me roll my eyes. Maybe bad news for women talking idk because there's usually always one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Disney movie always wins, Animation Twitter will cry about it for a week, and then we all move on with our lives. I mean, it's not really just animation twitter and it does seem like a shame that the academy views the category as a joke (I normally don't even expect the nomination for anime films to begin with, but to have a nomination for Kaguya and have it lose to Big Hero 6 has to be one of the biggest embarassments I can think of). You get used to it and stop expecting anything knowing the voters don't care and usually don't even watch the films, but that doesn't make it any better. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I remember liking All Quiet On The Western Front when I watched it but now it has kind of faded into a mass of World War I content released over past decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric the Minion Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 And honestly, within the Animated Feature category, I feel Turning Red is the best of the bunch anyways, so I feel like this inevitably going to the Disney film (come on guys, you know that's going to happen)...I'm cool with that. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 So, explain to me how Paul Mescal got in. Did people really see that Turkish vacation movie? The vacation movies were supposed to be Adam Sandler's bread and butter. lol I think Mescal had few but passionate fans, i can't explain how he got in 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between Mescal becoming an Oscar nominee and Edgar-Jones headlining a box office hit for her first major movie (and already signed on for an Oscar bait biopic), I'm here for the Normal People stars coming to take over Hollywood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree with this take, but not really the point; all I'm saying is I'd just like the film to win because the voters actually preferred it rather than "I guess I'll vote for the Disney flick" or "I'll vote the one my kid liked" because they don't even respect the animation art form enough to bother watching the films. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
