PatrickvD Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I see Frozen winning. Things are in place for Disney's first win with this weak year. Paperman's win was a sign that Disney is no longer in the shadow Dreamworks and PIXAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Of course they haven't, the category is 12 years old. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 16 I believe. Also, The Smurfs and Alvin 3 were both successfully submitted in 2011, they were on the longlist of 18 films. So Smurfs 2 will most likely be eligible too.I imagine The Smurfs 2 will be submitted but I think the hybrids are only submitted to boost the chances for a studio to get one of their animated films nominated.

ChD Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Frozen doesn't look like it's gonna win to me after that first look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I wouldn't write off Frozen yet, especially considering the competition. Disney's marketing campaigns are a perpetual frustration to anyone over 18, but the finished products generally come through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 It does seem, though, that DM2 will have a tough time getting in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Miller Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) I don't really see how Monsters University doesn't win this. The animation was gorgeous, the voice acting and score were excellent, it had a solid story and it's a Pixar film. If Brave can win, I see no reason this film shouldn't. The only thing I can see holding it back is that its predecessor didn't win, one of the few Pixar films that didn't.

Actually, I would say that would help it, since a lot of people nowadays think MI should've beat Shrek. Could be compensating for that "snub."

Impact Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 You guys that are saying that your surprised Monsters Inc didn't win need to go back to 2001. Shrek was EVERYWHERE. It was doing really well, there was no way it would lose the Oscar. It had amazing reviews, it was hip and original at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was doing really well, there was no way it would lose the Oscar. It had amazing reviews, it was hip and original at the time. That's why I said "nowadays." And honestly, Monsters, Inc. is probably the most original animated movie ever, period. Not trying to be hyperbolic, but the sheer creativity of the Monsters world along with the ideas of screams for energy is insane. I rewatched MI last week and my mind was actually blown on how creative and sophisticated it was for the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Opinions like you said I really didnt get into MI probably why I didn't love MU I understand opinions, but you can't say MI isn't creative The creativity in MI is crazy. I understand the basic idea of "monsters are afraid of kids, but have to scare them since it's their job" isn't that creative, but the idea of making screams energy and thus having an energy crisis thanks to children growing up faster is insane, I have no idea how they came up with it. Also the fact that the two main characters in their mid-30s at the youngest and working in what is essentially a power plant is sophisticated for 2001. Love MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
