Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit = Steelers
Howl's Moving Castle = Seahawks Steelers win the Super Bowl, Wallace and Gromit win the Annies and the Oscar. |

I don't really keep up with most of the Oscar categories, but "best animated short" was won by a Canadian in 05, an Australian in 04, a Brit in 01, a Russian in 00, a German in 97, more British in 96, 95, 94 and 91, a Canadian in 88, an Italian in 87 and so on. I don't see where you get the idea that the Acadamy doesn't like foreigners... |

And again, YOU missed the point. Being that Howl did not originate (created, thought-up, devised, etc) by Disney. It is Studio Ghibli. Again, Full stop is not an oscar nominee. why mention this side bar? |

"Full Stop" is not a movie, it is a slang term (#40 on the list). oops, had to fix the copy/paste... |

Actually it's somewhat old news, it was discussed at great length and had a news article but that was weeks ago at this point.

Yes, there's little point in discussing the BAF award again until Howl's Moving Castle loses...
...or wins... ...probably loses. |

Don't be such a kill-joy duke. Can't you support your fellow anime...uh...things even if they have less of a chance of winning an Oscar against Wallace and Grommit than Kanye did against U2 at the Grammys (even though that was BS; LR was 100X better). I think its going to lose but we can't lose hope, but then again Bush won the 2000 election so anything is possible. |
