Academy members don't need to write a reason for their vote. The written justifications come from "Brutally Honest Oscar Ballot," The Hollywood Reporter's annual survey of anonymous voters. The catch is that THR only surveys less than 10 Academy members, out of almost 9,500. For example, only one of the four members surveyed last year voted for the eventual winner (Encanto). https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/brutally-honest-oscar-ballot-dont-look-up-coda-1235116095/ |

I still can't get over when Big Hero 6 won over Kaguya.

If you divide the world into Orient (lat: "east") and Occident (lat: "west"), then that nomenclature is correct. Orient means everything that is not Europe (or the western world). |

That would be fair, if "Occidental" was actually used alongside "Oriental" to categorize culture. If the terms "Occidental films" or "Occidental art" sound strange and off-putting, you might be experiencing what people from many diverse cultures experience when they're all pigeonholed as "Oriental." |

Puss in Boots was quite the wildcard but man was it good, though Id give it to Pinocchio.

Big Hero 6 is still a mostly great movie, it deserved it. |

The worst one I saw was a few years ago, when an anime film (who's name I'm blanking on) was nominated. The academy member said something like "I don't give a crap about this Chinese garbage." |

Well, better luck next time.
As for the nominees, GDT's Pinocchio might win this but I'm rooting for Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. |

Interesting. If ya gonna put in an anime film submitted for the year, which nominated animated film would ya take out?
If anybody has any complaints, it'd have to be the streaming services - their # of nominees dropped to only half of the year before, when a streaming movie actually won Best Picture (CODA) Then again, even Netflix now puts chasing critical reviews on the back-burner - they're realizing that their most-watched shows (like Tiger King and Red Notice) actually don't get good reviews. Good reviews don't matter as much to their subscriber base - the masses like better the disposable entertainment (after losing more than a million subscribers in the first half of the year, Netflix ended up gaining 9 million more subscribers by the end of 2022, obviously far exceeded expectations)
Yeah, people tend to blow these polls out of proportion, like it's representative of a population - when statistically, the sample is way too small Or it may not even be a random sample neither (dunno the method they use for the polls). Or it may not even be the total sample - the editors may pick and choose the interesting responses, while leaving out the boring responses, in order to keep the article length be not too long. Who knows - they don't intend the polls to be a scientific poll, so they don't have to follow the statistics rules It's just an insight on what some voters say - it may be different from the silent majority. Just don't mistake those polls as representative |

Even worse, the movie that voter called Chinese garbage, Song of the Sea iirc, was made by Cartoon Saloon in Ireland. |

It's mostly forgettable imo, so let's agree to disagree. |

I am fortunate enough at closing in at 80 years old to know several academy members. A few years ago, there was much complaining that is so many old white men, so desertification. Now, academy is more deserve, but does not mean there is any more love for non US blockbusters of big names or low cost European indy film makers.
If I ask any friends who are members why not nominate more anime, answer is: adults do not watch children cartoons in America, so they not going to watch in Japanese poorly translated cartoons unless Miyazaki which is essentially Disney, only if grand kids suggest. Disney throws too much money around to ignore. |

I'm getting really tired of people using these quotes as reason to dismiss these awards. This particular one is from 2015 (8 years ago), blown out of proportion by Cartoon Brew (trash site) and taken out of context (IIRC the commenter was disappointed over Lego Movie being snubbed). |

I took the time to look up the quote, from a "member of the Academy’s 428-member sound branch who has been nominated for an Oscar."
The Lego Movie was great, but the rest of what he says… yeah, that's dumb. |

Not surprised they would keep out Anime from the Oscar at this point especially when you have big disappointing top box office movies like One piece film DEAD taken the popular position for how awful it was watching in general it's no surprise they'd leave anime films to their devices on the eastern market to live out their little Hollywood.
The next oscars will probably do the same and keep anime films out if Japan keep chucking out pop culture garbage films like they did with more films like those of last year. Turning Red FTW |
