lilmac Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 * No Pixar entry. When was the last time that happened in a year where they had a movie? * Frozen is the recent commercial favorite but Wind Rises is Miyazaki's last. Sorry DM2 and Frozen.

AniNate Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 * No Pixar entry. When was the last time that happened in a year where they had a movie? Cars 2. This time, however, the snubbing was undeserved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) The Croods AND Despicable Me 2? lmao, what a great year for the format this turned out to be. Yeah, big shame what's happened to the studios since 2009-2010. At this point I could sympathize if the Academy wanted to get rid of the category entirely.

lilmac Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Do we all agree Wind Rises is a lock? I still have yet to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 With Miyazaki's retirement being reversed, this is pretty much Frozen's now. I still preferred DM2 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rukaio101 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 While I'd like Wind Rises to win, it's probably more likely to go to Frozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolifofo Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 DM2 over Monsters University? What were they thinking tbh?!I know, right?I'm happy that The Croods got nominated though. I liked it better than MU and DM2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyLL Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Do we all agree Wind Rises is a lock? I still have yet to see it. No. Critics liked Frozen better... GA liked Frozen better. He pulled a Brett Favre and un-retired. Quite honestly... when I read through reviews even many of the positive ones were wishy-washy... a lot of 'not his best work' and 'not up to his normal standards' type of review. I don't normally let reviews sway me but I decided to wait until a DVD for this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Yeah, I think Frozen is far closer to a lock than Wind Rises ever was. The whole retirement thing was pretty much all it had going for it, and it will have to deal with the sensitive political undertones as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rukaio101 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Watch the Academy just give it to Pixar again and everyone lose their shit. Hell if they could do it last year, it could happen this year. The only real difference is WIR wasn't the box office success of Frozen, but the Academy often doesn't care about what the biggest success was. They completely snubbed Tangled from the noms that year. They don't seem to like WDA much. This post seems incredibly hilarious in hindsight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolifofo Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Frozen just won over The Wind Rises in Critics Choice Awards a few minutes ago. Now I'm confident it will win the Oscar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
