Posted by Theowne on 01.10.2014, 11:51 AM: Saviour, I don't think that the entire world considers the Oscars to be the end-all judge of filmmaking. It is a Hollywood-centric awards ceremony that caters to that particular film culture. For a variety of reasons, Spirited Away was able to find an place there for a moment in time, but I wouldn't expect it to last. In some ways, the Hollywood appreciation of Miyazaki was almost a fad.

Posted by Saddletank on 01.10.2014, 01:16 PM: Following on what Theowne says I would pay more attention to films that receive acclaim and awards at smaller more critical art festivals such as the annual Venice festival. I have seen some stunning anime that have been praised after being shown there.

Posted by Koda on 01.14.2014, 05:06 PM: I have seen Frozen, it was a good film. Though loads of people are saying it's one of the best films ever. I wouldn't go near that statement.

Posted by saviour2012 on 01.16.2014, 01:39 PM: So "The Wind Rises" gets the Best Animated Feature nomination.

Posted by leonbloy on 01.16.2014, 02:23 PM: It won against "Lilo & Stitch" (a good movie IMO). Also

Posted by saviour2012 on 01.16.2014, 03:01 PM: Frozen is an exceptionally tough competitor
|
Posted by Orphic Okapi on 01.16.2014, 05:31 PM: I'd be happy to see either Frozen or The Wind Rises take the Oscar. The Wind Rises is a more sophisticated and artistic film, but Frozen is great for what it is, and the animation is astonishingly good.

Often something will win an Oscar before it even has an international release, but then it means that when it does come out in other countries, people will want to go and see it. It's a shame that the Oscars tend to be so conservative in their selections, because I think they have great potential for drawing attention to cinema that the general public would otherwise have overlooked.

Posted by saviour2012 on 01.17.2014, 04:35 AM: I cant believe Hayao Miyazaki said this
|
Posted by Theowne on 01.17.2014, 10:10 AM: Just to be clear, that was an official statement in response to the nomination, which is pretty standard practice. |

Posted by Saddletank on 01.17.2014, 02:22 PM: Its not an indication of anything, nor as Theowne said, is it advertising. Every single nominated person will have issued a very similar statement. Its just the Hollywood machine at work, patting itself on the back.
