The Golden Globes cutting the film out and nominating nothing but American backed films is pretty telling. The Wind Rises only got in for being Miyazaki's film especially since it's the "last" one too.

Films like GITS and Akira would not get nominated for anything. It's BS how the nomination system works for animation in the US. It HAS to be family-oriented and cute, otherwise, forget it.

It might not get nominated for the Oscars either. Winning all of these little awards is more relevant to the animation community and critics being more truthful for what they feel, while the Oscars are about stuffing a theater full of A-listers so they can get people to watch and sell ad-space. That's also why the Academy Award for best film has 10 slots now, so more fans get can their horse in the race. They're not about some kind of film objectivity, but about whoever had the better campaign for their category or which film "deserves" the award for whatever reason. Even if it did get nominated, the endless bitching when Lego wins would be unbearable so it's better that it gets ignored, because hell, Lego should win even against Frozen.

Well, yes and no--It wasn't so much the critically-gobsmacked Dark Knight fans getting their geek on ("This movie deserves to conquer the world!"), it was about the lingering resentment over why Slumdog Millionaire was "all we had" for Best Picture but Wall-E had to be "exiled" to the annual ritual Best Animated win for Pixar the same year.
So the first year we had 10 nominations, fans finally realized their dream of shoving a Pixar in for Picture with Up, and then Toy Story 3 earned theirs the hard way....And then Pixar had their string of non-Best Pictures, the desperation to find nine titles started cribbing the Critics' Circle arthouse-buzz nominees, we forgot why we'd started doing it, and were back to the same old problem again, X2.

But if Kaguya doesn't get a nomination at all, then people will bitch about that. People will complain no matter what happens, that's life. I just want it to receive a nomination so more people will watch the film.
