Alpha Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I think Frankenweenie is more to the Academy's tastes. Plus Disney will probably push the 'Burton is overdue' factor, it's almost certainly his only real shot at a win. Also, the only people who think Frankenweenie will win are Burton fanboys. To me, it was the stop-motion equivalent of Hotel Transylvania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Ralph will definitely be nominated, but a win seems less likely now... Hopefully, it starts winning a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Also, the only people who think Frankenweenie will win are Burton fanboys. It's handily the frontrunner right now, so that's not true at all. ParaNorman was gaining steam for a while there but the Globe miss has set it back a bit.

Jack Nevada Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 My favorite animated films this year have been Brave and Hotel Transylvania. Havent seen Paranorman or Frankenweenie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Paranorman should win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddddeeee Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I'm still fuming over that Globe snub. HT over ParaNorman? Give me a break. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) I'm not sure what the frontrunner is anymore. ParaNorman is winning the most critic awards but I've been led to believe that Frankenweenie has won the most significant ones.Has anyone else noticed that the official Disney twitter is quick to point out any award Frankenweenie is nominated for or wins but there's not a single peep for Brave or WIR?

Ezen Baklattan Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yeah. I'm fans of WiR and Frankenweenie on Facebook. Frankenweenie has made a ton of posts about awards won, but I've seen nothing for Wreck-It Ralph.I bet HT got nominated over ParaNorman mainly for the chance to see Adam Sandler and Selena Gomez at the globes above much else.

Jack Nevada Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Well, I have not see either Frankenweenie nor WiR yet since they haven't been released here (fucking distributors), but I for one really liked Hotel Transylvania. Best animation? No, but still great fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) I didn't like it at all. I've liked all the animated films this year apart from it, even RotG and I've hated the look of that from the get go.

ParaNorman was gaining steam for a while there but the Globe miss has set it back a bit.Bitch please. Golden globes only predict the winner of each award about 40% of the time. So even if Frankenweenie is doing well with the Golden Globes, it still has a long shot from winning the Oscar.Either WIR or Brave is the frontrunner. Both are crowd-pleaders (less so the former) that made over $150M. Frankenweenie was a flop that made only $30M in its run.Academy voters usually go for the crowd-pleaser when voting for Best Animated Feature. So by that logic, Frankenweenie could get nominated, but it has virtually no chance of winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Brave's not winning. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up not getting nominated. A lot of what wins this Oscar are animated features that transcend age. It can be in many different ways; Shrek had its vulgar jokes, and Up had nostalgia. But, that is something Brave lacks. It doesn't connect with the adults the same way Wall-E, Shrek, or Nemo can. I am still however predicting a nomination because what they've done with the animation of Brave is take something that's been around for a long time and taken it to the next level. It's something that a lot of branch animators can understand, respect, and as a result vote for even though the Academy doesn't give 2 shits about the technical aspects of an animated feature.

Blankments Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Brave was one of the most disappointing movies of the year, and will probably end up on my ballot for the awards here under Worst Picture. I sure hope it isn't the frontrunner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't connect with adults, or I could just be talking to an outlier group of people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnY Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Is it just me or this is the second disappointing year for this category in a row? It seems that Toy Story 3, The Illusionist and HTTYD were better than all animated movies released in the next two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animators still hold a certain high respect for traditionally animated films, which gives indies a distinct advantage over the all CGI Hollywood. The converse also goes for Mo-Cap. Animators don't believe that Mocap is real animation and as a result don't respect it as an animated film which is why Tintin didn't get nominated.
