Only thing that spiked interest was Will Smith slapping Chris Rock. Why can't the Academy Awards be a series of celebrity death matches? It would be like the Hunger Games but with the common folk putting the upper-class against each other for greater wealth and fame.
I agree that it's pretty dumb, but winning as an indie can be life-changing. I don't personally care about the Oscars, but I can understand why it would be beneficial for a small creator to win one.
What are you talking about? The Oscars have been getting less and less viewers each passing year. Hell, the only thing people remember about last year was the slap.
Cause if they didn't have the 1/3rd rule it wouldn't be a category. These people just watch the movies their children want to, they aren't watching. 70+ year old men aren't watching fricking 10 or 15 animated movies on their own
Because the old arthouse boomers in charge are not interested n kiddyshit. none of them fricking care and only vote for whatever their grandkids liked at Christmas.
it's not boomers, it's just how people view animation in general
>At the 94th Academy Awards in 2022, the award for the Best Animated Feature was presented by three actresses who portrayed as Disney princess characters in live-action remakes of their respective animated films: Lily James (Cinderella), Naomi Scott (Aladdin), and Halle Bailey (The Little Mermaid). While introducing the category, Bailey stated that animated films are "formative experiences as kids who watch them," as James put it, "So many kids watch these movies over and over, over and over again." Scott added: "I see some parents who know exactly what we're talking about
Basically >We're promoting this shit for parents to buy and distract their kids with
Why is everyone so butt hurt by what they said? Did they say anything wrong? Cartoons are mostly enjoyed by kids. Everyone that got offended need to off themselves. It's a childish medium, that's what makes it great.
I the Oscars were actually rigged they would have actually been able to organize the Oscar to go to Chadwick Boseman instead of the old white guy who didn't even bother attending the awards show.
Isn't the committee that decides the nominees made of people from the animation industry? That heavily skews nominations in favor of bigger western movies. Award shows in general are stupid and I'm not sad to see them lose relevancy every year.
Didn't they alter the process back in 2017 or so because too many "artistic" films were getting nominations? Pretty sure that's how Ferdinand and Boss Baby made the field for that year.
>Awards and ranks set as if art itself is a competition to be won >never been in touch, with what people, critics think, never well be >has pretty much always had an anti animation agenda, creating an entire category to purposefully discriminate and delegitimize animation as lesser to live action
Because around Oscars season they say "Animation is for adults too and deserves the same praise as live action and should be put to the same standards" but the rest of the year its "Um animation is for kids you can't criticize it" Its fricking hypocritical. No wonder they don't take these gays seriously.
If they have all these rules for animated features and don't bother to watch them, why not just have a different set of judges in charge of watching animated films instead?
They didn't out him specifically by name but I'm pretty sure the first guy was some dude who got his Academy voting status because of work he did back in the '70s and '80s with no real credits since.
So those phone calls were likely the guy screaming at his agent because nobody was offering him anything.
It's not a public service, it's an industry awards show, privately run and owned.
But also why should they watch more than 1/3 of the movies? Do you know how many eligible movies are released every year? Do you know what the eligibility requirements, which are publicly known, are?
In 2019 there were over 700 movies released new, of which many wouldn't be eligible because they didn't have a showing open to the general public in Los Angeles, or had a prior limited release somewhere. But if you think anybody who actually *works* in film today as you would hope the voting Academy members do has time to watch 1/3 of those movies you're frickin delusional. Humans are only awake for about 5780 hours in a year, they have other shit going on, if you work a 40 hour *average* week in film it's good, but there will be 80-hour weeks and 0-hour weeks in there too. And you might want a vacation... not to mention eating and shitting.
Call it 3700 hours of discretionary time. Less any time you spend in transit or dealing with family or pets or non-work meetings like the bank or whatever. Setting up your own business outside of the hours you spend working that business for your ultimate employers. Say it's 3400 less the (LA) commute. You take two weeks of vacation a year, now it's 3000. 2 hours daily to eat. 1 hour daily to bathe (yourself, not to mention kids or pets).
We're down to 2800 and the little things and the unexpected required overtime haven't kicked in. You haven't flown anywhere or dealt with some timewaster's bullshit yet (but it's LA so you will). No doctor's appointments, no personal/family emergencies. No birthdays, holidays for you or anybody. You haven't been to the gym in body-conscious LA once.
Oh but you've definitely got time to watch 1400 movies, averaging 120 minutes each, back to back... and you'll definitely keep detailed notes so that the hours you spend filling out your Academy votes won't be spent mired in the fog of memory.
I like how we have to go through every year so that everyone can post about how much they don't care about the oscars and how smart and jaded they are for understanding that it's bullshit.
The Academy Awards is a dumb industry trade show that people only watch because muh celebrities.
Just ignore it.
This, and fewer people seem to watch every year. Super ignorable.
Very

I think the Oscars will always be “important” but similar to any other award show. No one takes it as an authority on good movies anymore
Oscars were always just a way for Hollywood to congratulate itself in one big circle jerk
Imagine caring about Cartoon Brew or the awards.
I agree that it's pretty dumb, but winning as an indie can be life-changing. I don't personally care about the Oscars, but I can understand why it would be beneficial for a small creator to win one.
>organization that makes its own rules changes its own rules
wow, someone call the fbi
I see what you did there.
But enough about the DNC
classic "I know you are but what am I".
Good one, dude.
cry harder chud
>caring about the Oscars
It’s still the most influential movie award, love it or hate it.
Who's influenced by it?
Industry bootlickers, mainly.

Who's butt hurt? Why are you projecting?
Bait or not this is a weak argument because it's universal across mediums
MOST of the MOST popular live action movies from the past decade are super hero movies made for children
It's just live action movies aren't shacked down by a gay westiod stigma so we're allowed to get cool shit like whiplash
More live action children and family films are produced than animated ones, and that's always been true.
>the Oscars are rigged
I the Oscars were actually rigged they would have actually been able to organize the Oscar to go to Chadwick Boseman instead of the old white guy who didn't even bother attending the awards show.
the black guy said the J word, the other guy was a J
Because you were raised to accept it
Cartoons aren't funny.
Get over it.

They didn't b***h and moan about this when Steven Universe won the award
People still watch the oscars?

>has pretty much always had an anti animation agenda, creating an entire category to purposefully discriminate and delegitimize animation as lesser to live action
Anons.. if they don't care, why do you?
Because around Oscars season they say "Animation is for adults too and deserves the same praise as live action and should be put to the same standards" but the rest of the year its "Um animation is for kids you can't criticize it" Its fricking hypocritical. No wonder they don't take these gays seriously.

They used to, then they opened the category to the entire academy.
This is why I never supported mainstream award shows. It's a fart sniffing popularity contest.
I sincerely doubt that the quality of judges has improved at all since 2013.
They didn't out him specifically by name but I'm pretty sure the first guy was some dude who got his Academy voting status because of work he did back in the '70s and '80s with no real credits since.
