    Hollywood's weirdly anti-Asian in general. Think about how many actors there must be in Asia, and yet we get the same half a dozen whenever an Asian role turns up, or some hideous Americanised Asian instead. It's like they're happy to take money from Asia, but heaven forbid actually casting Asian actors in roles.

      They have to be able to speak clear English in a way that doesn't sound stereotypical, which rules most of them out.

        I'd also say that, generally speaking, American made movies want all audiences, and most of the audiences in America aren't asian.

        The only time they started pandering to them was when China money appeared, but since Covid and other news it's dried up quick since China just makes their own blockbusters now.

        It's one of the smallest racial ethnic groups in the country, it's not worth investing into honestly.

            Not him but I've seen both and Shrek is the better film from an American perspective. I'm not sure general audiences could even follow the story. However, Tokyo Godfathers deserved a win, since it's the most straightforward Satoshi Kon film and contains meaningful social commentary and is just overall a really heartwarming film.

            I think you're still living in 2010. Almost every new person I meet likes anime and manga or considers it a pretty normal baseline interest (albiet only if you watch shows for teenagers like one piece and demon slayer, if you like artsy animation for adults they'll still consider you weird). I'm incluned to say the fact that there are so many anti-anime contrarians on Cinemaphile recently proves that anime must be beloved with normies or else it'd still be well liked here like it used to be.

      As great as it was to see Parasite win, and how it increased my hope that would mean Hollywood would start to recognize foreign films for best picture - in hindsight it seems like it was more a response to do damage control for not giving Roma best pic the year before and the resulting outrage.

      Let’s be honest - if Hollywood actually picked the best film of the year regardless of language or where it was made - 9/10 times it would go to a foreign film especially in the last decade where Hollywood is producing absolute garbage.
