I'm pretty much over the Oscars and all award shows at this point. I'm more disappointed this likely means Shinkai's next movie won't get an LA dub. I've enjoyed GKids dubs and Weathering With You was a really solid dub.

My main concern is Oscar nominations. I know they don’t really matter too much, but now that Hosoda has one (in addition to most of the Ghibli folk), you gotta have the next biggest name in there. Weathering With You actually got close too thanks to GKIDS, and I’m
hoping for a more successful repeat (not counting the time Funimation butchered the Your Name campaign).


Funimation wasn't owned by Sony at the time of Your Name's Oscar qualifying run in late 2016. Hopefully, now that Crunchyroll, LLC has offices located at/near Sony Pictures Entertainment's Culver City headquarters and jobs dedicated to theatrical distribution located there, hopefully they do campaign for any anime films worthy of award consideration.

Although I know that its unlikely that any anime film will actually win a Oscar, earning a nomination does allow for others not typically into anime to recognize its potential.

Okay, totally honest question here: how much do we actually care about the Oscars? If an anime film were to win "Best Animated Picture" or some other award, how much impact would that really have on the industry and medium anymore? Does the Oscar win have any real pull on the regular market these days?


It should open business opportunities for them - like having "Dr." or "Sir" in front of one's name
