RE: Oscars and anime: an unfair prize for the tyrant industry...

in #anime7 years ago

We should be honest with ourselves. The Academy Awards don't matter. It's an industry circlejerk and half or less of the Academy Awards awarded are actually deserved. This goes as well to the Best Animated Feature category.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that anime should win those awards. Good movies should win those awards and that has consistently not been the case. Big Hero 6 was average at best, yet it beat out Song of the Sea, The Tale of Princess Kaguya and How to Train Your Dragon 2.

The last deserved award was to Toy Story 3. 2011 onwards has all been awarded to bad movies. Rango was bad. Brave was bad. Frozen was bad. Big Hero 6 was bad. Inside Out was not bad, but also not better than any of the other nominees save Shaun the Sheep. Zootopia was bad.

This year there's a chance Loving Vincent will win. That would be a long awaited deserved victory.
