You know, I can't remember offhand if any ever have. |

Although I highly doubt anyone would be surprised for the result.
Congrats and well deserved. |

Isn't that interesting? A Japanese animated movie losing to a movie done by an American studio owned by a Japanese electronics company (Sony).

Curious, so looking this up. Note that my list will only include films with listed origins as Japanese, not just someone Japanese working on it (as was the case with Negative Space). Mt Head (2002) La Maison en Petit Cubes (2008) Possessions (part of Short Peace) (2013) |

likely just cause most people dont watch foreign language stuff when its animated. (i mean outside of Godzilla movies foreign films with no dub were not "huge" in states last i knew)

Golden Globes? Check Annie Awards? Check! And now the golden goose: the Oscar! Congrats to the Spiderverse team! Looking forward to the sequel! |

If anything surprised me, it's that I was expecting Incredibles 2 to win the award because you know...Disney/Pixar. I am very happy Spiderverse won. That movie really deserved it. |

It would have made the Oscars even more of a joke if it didn't win, when it clearly has the critical appeal in every other award ceremony. In any event, very glad this happened. |

American bias against anime is nothing new.

1. Into the Spider-Verse was actually an amazing movie that deserves awards.
2. Nobody takes the Oscars seriously anyway, and anyone who does isn't really someone whose opinion I value. |

It's not bias if an anime film loses to a more widely critically-acclaimed movie. Hell, even ANN's own public rankings for Mirai, while good, are hardly elite-class. So yeah, let's not go that route this time, okay? 'Cause it saps credibility from cases where the anime film is legitimately more worthy. |
