It’s cool they added an extra category for independent productions. But ITSV will most certainly win the AA for best animated film. Hosoda won’t quite reach Miyazaki’s status.

Independent makes it sound like it was just some small one-man film festival project and not the multi-million dollar studio film it actually was.

The term "independent film" just means it wasn't produced by one of the Big Six studios (Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Universal Pictures, Columbia Pictures, and Walt Disney Studios). There are no restrictions on how much money can be spent on it.

American distributors are trying to build up the same mystic around "independent" Japanese animated film directors the same way John Lasseter did with Hayao Miyazaki outside of Japan. It's still far to easy to do this with Japanese animation and I doubt it will stop anytime soon.
