Of course, Miyazaki gets screwed over again. Granted, this time it's with legitimately good competition.

The year Miyazaki decides to retire just happened to be the same year Disney decides to make a movie that has almost as much quality as the one's just HAD to be the same year Miyazaki retires. I hate it for him. Sad

If you check the history of the Critics' Choice (formerly Broadcast Film Critics') Best Animated Feature Award, Hayao Miyazaki won for 2002 for Spirited Away, just like with the Oscar.

The Critics' Choice winner predicted the Best Animated Feature Oscar for that Oscar's first 11 years of existence, diverging only for 2012 (Wreck-It Ralph won the Critics' Choice Best Animated Feature award while Brave won the Best Animated Feature Oscar).

Well nice try, but hey The Wind rises got other award, don't worry if it lost to Frozen for this one.

yotsuba: It's not like Disney isn't entitled to a win. They've been shut out since Beauty and the Beast got snubbed for Best Picture, which is why the Oscars have the animated category in the first place. And they got a longer legacy than Ghibli, to boot. Miyazaki already got his, so it's not like if Frozen wins, he'll lose anything major from it. He's pretty much got it all at this point.

Though I wonder if the brouhaha over Saving Mr. Banks didn't hurt Frozen's prospects, too. Frankly, I don't really get the negativity over a film adaptation that's clearly more beloved and remembered than its source material. And the author and her estate probably got paid better in royalties than if she never had the film made. Oh, yes, Walt hated the Jews, but got over himself, and patriotically supported the war effort. But unlike Shakespeare, he mass-marketed his brand with toys and a kitschy theme park, so he can't be forgiven. Rolling Eyes
