Definitive Proof That Academy Voters Are Ignorant About Animation

[MacLeod]

Not everyone likes animated films, but if it tells a good story does it matter if it;s live-action or animated?

It absolutely can, if you live in LA and depend on the movie business for your livelihood. Say you or close friends of yours work in set construction, costuming, lighting, stunts, etc.: by and large, none of those people will be hired to work on an animated movie. People whose lives revolve around film production thus have a perfectly natural reason to not be wild about the prospect of more studio dollars going to render farms than jobs that benefit them personally. And sure, there are people who work on animated movies that wouldn't be hired to work on a live-action movie, but they don't balance each other out; those are different cultures. Heck, Pixar isn't even based in SoCal.

Animated movies probably would have started to fare well in the Best Picture category, including scoring some wins

No. (See above.)

I was of course talking from a viewers persepective.

So you didn't like Frozen? These are not full time jobs where people sit around and watch 45325 movies made every year.

You know something? It's about time that they be.

Umm... what's the problem?

These shows are lame jokes anyways, do you really care what they say? They voted Crash best movie. It should have won the way better Razzy award.

I think the Fart Wind Rises was terrible.

It is unfortunate that in the US animation is stereotyped as being for children.

But if they're only going to nominate kids movies, then don't just say "These aren't for me so I abstain", you can still make judgments about which film executed the craft the most successfully.

And, err... did that critic just confess in writing to child endangerment?
