Dingdong123 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Despicable Me 2 will only be nominated due to it being enormously popular. I just don't see it winning given how lackluster it is especially compared to the first one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Of note, The Wind Rises just got slapped with a PG-13 rating. Will be nice to see an adult animated movie in the national limelight finally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM2 won't be nominated because the first one wasn't nominated, and even though they're both steaming piles of crap, DM2 is a lot worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I could see DM2 getting nominated. There was only 3 nominees in 2010 and probably 5 this year and I think Frozen, Wind Rises and MU are getting in and there's 2 spots open to whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Critics liked DM2 a little more than all of those, so coupled with its box office I'm pretty sure it has the advantage. This has just been a really weak year. Edited November 8, 2013 by tribefan695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolifofo Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Frozen has been getting great reviews lately, and I am honestly very excited for it. It's the most anticipated animated movie of the year (and for an animation dork like me, the most-anticipated movie overall). So I think and hope it will win. I haven't seen The Wind Rises yet, but I believe it's Frozen only major competition. DM2 has no chance, but MU does, though it shouldn't win in opinion as it wasn't that good. I agree with the people who said that this year has been weak in terms of animated movies. the only movie I really liked so far was the Croods, but that got relatively many "rotten" reviews for whatever reason.

It was thoroughly engaging and has wonderful visuals. Unfortunately, it seems the momentum isn't on its favor given how it underperformed and was released far enough last summer.FrozenThe Wind RisesMonsters UniversityErnest and CelestineDespicable Me 2/The Croods 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Freak Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I would love to see Epic sneaking in. It was thoroughly engaging and has wonderful visuals.

Frozen, TWR and Ernest and Celestine are definite locks. Probably MU too as it is a non-Cars Pixar movie. So I guess it is between DM2 and The Croods for the last spot. Odds are in DM2's favor thanks to its BO performance, but actually it should be Croods which was a far better movie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nevada Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I'm predicting Frozen at this point. Wind Rises winning would be too good. It will be seen as a huge snub, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolifofo Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I saw Frozen yesterday, and it's definitely getting the Oscar. Other animated features released this year don't even compare. Oh, and the beginning completely blew me away. You folks have to see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladybug Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) After seeing most of this year's features: The Wind Rises Monsters University Ernest & Celestine Frozen The Croods (DM2 could sneak in instead, though) I'm thinking The Wind Rises will take the Oscar for being Miyazaki's final film, and this year being extremely weak.

I agree with this list, DM2 could sneak by but it would be an incredibly undeserving and one of the poorest films ever nominated for animated feature. I also agree that Frozen isn't a total lock just yet. It sounds silly but the Academy may have a hard time taking it seriously because it's been slapped with the 'princess label' and visually, is very cartoony - a style that traditionally hasn't sat well with the Academy when Pixar isn't involved. The Wind Rises is the only alternative, particularly if they're feeling sentimental. Edited December 2, 2013 by pieman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
