Oscar voters hate anime like nobody's business.

Except when anime gets nominated... Or when an anime movie actually wins... 
Not that I think much of the Oscars, but frankly there wasn't any particularly outstanding anime movie last year, apart from Inu-Oh, and while I enjoyed that a lot, it's not the sort of anime that does well overseas. |

It didn't fare that well at home either, being outside top 10 in its opening weekend. animenewsnetwork.com/news/2022-05-30/shin-ultraman-drops-to-no.2-jujutsu-kaisen-0-is-back-in-top-10/.186174 |

Pretty much every film deserved to be nominated but Turning Red, but they had to nominate a Disney film.

It's more they hate animation in general and admit to only voting for the animated films they heard about or their kids watched. Obviously that would very rarely be anime compared to the Disney, Dreamworks, and other tentpole American animated film studios. |

Fedora: I know they hate anime, because they've referred to it as 'Oriental'.

Wow, that's unfortunate.  
Well something good came out of the Oscars this year though, Asian actors/actresses and filmmakers dominate the nominations with Michelle Yeoh & Ke Huy Quan (both now Golden Globes winners) getting nominations. So not everything came out bad for me, and I say this not only as a anime fan but also a fan of Asian representation in Hollywood.

Why not? Turning Red is the best Pixar movie. |

Pretty much, when you read the justifications for voting for an animated movie (members need to write the reason for their vote) what you get its a compendium of: "My kids like it". "Didn't watch it". "I heard it's good". |

Best Pixar movie=/=Nomination worthy (I really liked the film btw) Willing to bet that Miyazaki next film is already pre nominated

Inu-Oh was snubbed. It's a shame, though I expected nothing less. Anime just doesn't get noticed by the Academy unless it's from a big name director, and the only name Hollywood knows is Miyazaki (not that he doesn't deserve the recognition, but he's not the only talented director out there!)
Still, all the movies nominated this year are deserving. I hope Pinocchio wins as it's a true masterpiece, but I'd be happy with any of these winning. They all have something unique to them.
Turning Red is the best thing Pixar's done in a decade, delivering a badly needed shake-up to their formula which was starting to get stale. If the studio wants to have a future as something other than a sequel factory then they need to follow its lead. |

Mirai (and Hosoda) says hi. And by the way, the last 2 Ghibli movies nominated weren't Miyazaki's. Perhaps many equate Ghibli = Miyazaki. |

L'Imperatore: Hosoda has yet to win, and there are a lot of good anime films which were snubbed. Also, as I've said before, the voters don't consider Ghibli to be anime.
Anyway, the Oscar voters only seem to hate rotoscoping almost as much as anime, which is why Linklater's animated movies didn't get in, either. Last edited by GATSU on Tue Jan 24, 2023 3:59 pm; edited 1 time in total |
