Technicalities Ruin Animes' Chance at an Oscar
posted on by George Phillips
Deemed ineligable on technicalities, Jin-Roh and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust fail to qualify for Animated Feature Oscar Nominations.
Anime News Network spoke with representatives from Urban Vision and Bandai Entertainment today, concerning the recently-announced Animated Feature Oscar list.
Urban Vision's "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust" and Bandai's "Jin-Roh" failed to qualify for Oscars due to technicalities.
Missing paperwork, specifically the paperwork for Best Picture, disqualified Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. The missing papers were, apparently, never received (and thus, never filed) by Urban Vision. The representative said that a small statement should be released within the next week, concerning Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust.
Jin-Roh suffered a case of bad timing, as its world-wide theatrical premiere occured in December 1999 in France. The Academy Awards Rules state:
"A picture first theatrically exhibited outside the U.S. prior to the Los Angeles qualifying run shall be eligible for submission provided the prior exhibition takes place in a commercial motion picture theater after January 1, 2000..."
