Spidey Freak Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 The old HFPA wouldn't have been choosing Heron over Spider-Verse for sure. I feel like the Academy voters are closer to HFPA than the new Golden Globes voting body especially when it comes to Animated Feature, so I wouldn't count AtSV out yet.

Well, They did have their first non-English and international animation winner 17 years before Parasite took Oscar by the storm. Also, Academy selection of nominees have been always regarded a better bunch by critics and industry. Yes they have bias when come to winner but their nominees have been cool. They managed to pick some niche international works like princess kaguya , I lost My body, Boy n the Hood, Persepolis, Chico & Rita. From here I don't see the Academy has preference closer to old HFPA. ATSV is still very much frontrunner but Heron is obviously challenging its dominance. I still have ATSV as predicted winner because Miyazaki's refusal to campaign and he didn't bother showing up at GG. Also, Sony has realised the favour for ATSV is slipping away and they are stepping up their campaign too. That should allow ATSV to recover a bit.

CoolioD1 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) I think the changed voting body with the golden globes is something worth taking note of. They went from like 90 members to 300 members in one year which is a pretty big change. And they added a lot more critics to their association. Their winners this year did have more of a "critics group" vibe than usual (I don't think the old school globes would've given Anatomy of a Fall best screenplay over the bigger names there). Just something to flag that yeah I don't think Spider-Verse is out of the running it could totally still win all the industry awards.

Morieris Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 You can see the voter biographies; https://goldenglobes.com/voting-member/ I don't know if there's overlap with AMPAS voters but it's definitely more global now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannastop Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Annie awards nominations Best Feature: Nimona Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Suzume Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem The Boy and the Heron Best Feature- Independent Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia Four Souls of Coyote Robot Dreams The Inventor White Plastic Sky No Elemental. A little surprised The Boy and the Heron isn’t independent but I guess that makes sense. Edited January 11 by cannastop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanic2187 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 So surprised that Nimoma got this many nomination. Netflix is really turning itself into an animation powerhouse streamer. I believe this is the first time both Pixar and Disney are shut out from the best feature category. Suzume also overperforms. Now the fifth slot at the Oscar is really up for grab in between Nimona. Elemental really take a hit here. Even finding dory, cars 3 or monster university and good dinosaur make it to best feature list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morieris Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I hope this (and the accolades for Blue Eye Samurai) encourages Netflix to stop scrapping animated series and laying off animators. Also that Redwall is still in the works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannastop Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 You'd have to be doing crack to not give Hayao Miyazaki the storyboarding award. He does that all by himself! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanic2187 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Both suzume and heron made Annie nomination record at 7, beating Belle which got five nominations. They are the most nominated anime now at Annie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I won’t at all be surprised to see an Elemental snub at this point. Too strong of a year, too negative of a PR image for Disney right now. Not a good combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean...Finding Dory made over $1b WW and has a 94% RT score...Not exactly surprising it was nominated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting OT, but I’ve always thought Dory is the strongest of the non-TS sequels by a mile. And much stronger than TS4 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanic2187 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Boy and the Heron getting in PGA animation is a big news. This is the first time foreign language animation got in PGA. The first for Miyazaki and Ghibli (They snubbed SA back then), and the second GKIDS nomination in PGA! If even PGA can be this open to a non-english foreign animation from GKIDS, they snubbed 11 out of 12 GKIDS eventual Oscar nominees after all, I would expect Oscar to be even receptive. Heron really stand a chance to beat ATSV now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Samurai Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Nimona will replace Super Mario at the Oscars and those will be the final 5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 All those Mario detractors: have yall just been outright ignoring how many high profile places it’s gotten into the 5 cat now? As I’ve been saying, it has a good chance to get in at the Oscars. It may even have the third best chance after the obvious two. I’m not calling any of spots 3-5 a lock though given there’s literally like 6 movies vying for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Robot Dreams is starting to seem like it may be out of the picture though. I think it needed to maintain its awards momentum and it’s kinda fallen off in all the more recent award noms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
