ddddeeee Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 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.I don't think BO has much, if anything, to do with it. Rango was a flop and it won.Brave has no shot, it hasn't won a single award. Frankenweenie is the best reviewed animated film of the year and has won the two most significant critic awards, saying "it has virtually no chance of winning" is utter nonsense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Gary Scott Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I thought animation was good not great this year. There were a of good films Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Frankenweenie is quite obviously the frontrunner. Paranorman is in the running, but the Globes snub hurts a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forg Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) Brave's story might be weak to some but the technical aspect is really impressive and should be enough for a nomination.I think Disney's PR is promoting Frankenweenie more than WIR for the Oscar win is because it is a box office failure and it winning an Oscar is something that they could use to promote it for DVD/Bluray sales and probably being an Oscar winner could also help when licensing the film's rights to TV channels for a higher price. Just guessing here Edited January 2, 2013 by forg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a small dissapointment.But Academy voters will pick the success usually.2010 - Toy Story 32009 - Up2008 - Wall-EAnd on and on and on and on...Seriously, only Burton's fans are pushing Frankenweenie for a BAF nod. The movie looked terrible, and its only on par with Wreck-It Ralph's 73 Metascore. Sure it has a 74 Metascore but that's a slight difference.

jacquelinejane Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Rooting for Wreck-It Ralph. Quite possibly my favourite animated film outside of the Toy Story franchise. Then again I still haven't seen Frankenweenie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it Burton fans who gave the movie a better critical reception than any movie he's done since Ed Wood? Given that critics tore Burton's last two movies apart I don't think that's likely. Was it Burton fans in Boston, New York, LA, Nevada and Kansas who voted it Best Animated Film in 2012?I get it, you don't want it to win, that's obviously fine. But you're being daft if you really don't think it has a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I liked Wreck-It Ralph more, but Frankenweenie needs this win more than Ralph does, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I liked WIR least out of the sure nominees. I was never into all those games which probably hampered with that a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nevada Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) After watching Paranorman today I wouldnt personally nominate it for best animation.I really loved the animation and character designs, and the very human message the movie had going, but I think it suffered from an unfunny script with poor dialogue, and a boring and depressing main character (who actually reminded me of Huey from Boondocks). I also think it needed to be tightened a little.Not a bad movie, but not as good as Hotel Transylvania, The Pirates! or Brave imo Edited January 4, 2013 by Jack Nevada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
