For a good idea of what would have happened even if Innocence: Ghost in the Shell 2 had been nominated for BAF, just look at what happened at the Annies over the weekend:
The Incredibles swept the feature-related awards for the evening. And this is among the people who know and love animation, not just members of the film industry and critics who mostly think of BAF as a minor sideshow award. Here's the complete list of winners, none of them anime-related this year. Next year, I think you'll have a little better Japanese representation among the nominees, but I don't think Howl's Moving Castle is a shoe-in because it'll be up against The Corpse Bride and Wallace and Gromit. |

My god, I get cramps in my sides from laughing at the mere thought of Shaun of the Dead being nominated for an Academy. I'm sorry, but it was only a spoof of zombie films that most likely could only be enjoyed by people who enjoy Zombie films. I was bored through out the whole thing, and unfortunately went to see it with friends who were die hard zombie fans. I felt like something was wrong with me because they were laughing more in 5 minutes than I did for the whole movie.

Heh heh, if the Academy reflected my own subjective tastes, the nominees for Best Picture would be:
I'm not trying to impress anyone with my tastes, so what I think are the Best Pictures of 2004 are solely the films I liked best and nothing more. To pretend I have other criteria would be just pretentious. |

By the looks of your avatar, I'm assuming your a zombie flick fan. Anyway, even with the removale of all the zombie spoof humor, the stuff that remains is nothing that would be considered an entertaining movie for myself. So danger doesn't really always register right away to society? So? Think I need to pay 8 bucks to find this out? Was that the only entertianing value of the movie other than the whole "what to do if zombies attack" senario? Punisher sucked too, but to me Shuan is only on a slightly higher level than Punisher. |

Hey different strokes for different..ah you get my point. I liked SOTD for what it was, same goes for Casshern which is now considered one of the worst Movies of the year (In Japan) does that mean my tatses are questionable? Hell no. I was entertained so i can't complain. and as for the avatar my dear, I'm more of a Resident evil fan than a Zombie flick fan in general. (RE4 effing Owns!) Anyway, speaking of the Oscars, in a matter of hours (about to leave work.) i'm gonna check out one film that may be deserving of Oscar nods. Ray.
