All of these got nominated while LEGO didn't.
Nobody who votes gives a fuck about the animated category.
HTTD2 will win just because however many dads sat through it with their kids.

I can see "The Tale of the Princess Kaguya" winning just for possibly being the last Ghibli film.

We've gone from 10 BP nominees, to 9, and now 8. They should just go back to 5.![]()
I haven't seen American Sniper. What's got everyone so riled up that it's got nominations?
Elite Squad I can't comment on as I haven't seen it, something that I will rectify asap, but what could The Raid 2 be nominated for? Certainly not Best Screenplay or Best Acting...maybe Best Directing? But I don't think the directing was anything to write home about apart from the fight scenes.
They should invent Best Stunts or Best Choreography award or something akin to that so The Raid 2 and films like it (John Wick, for example) can be nominated and win academy awards.
Kind of a crap year for animated fare to be honest. I haven't seen Boxtrolls or Song of the Sea, but Big Hero 6, Dragon 2 and Lego are all toddler-oriented, simple-minded affairs. Kaguya is all right. And I guess the insanity of the Lego Movie has its charm, but I personally don't miss it among the nominees.
The stuntmen union has been trying for well over a decade to get it included, but the Academy keeps shutting it down.
Shit, I knew it, I've regressed to a toddler level mindset. Too much time spent lurking on gaming side threads.
I am absolutely livid over the lack of Jake Gyllenhaal. That was the performance of a lifetime for him -- he was incredible.

I'm not saying they aren't enjoyable, but I don't think they're worth of recognition either.

The current rule is 5-10. But a film has to get over a certain threshold. I think it's essentially the top 10 films that get at least 5% of the vote. It's possible something like Nightcrawler would've made the top 10, but it didn't get at least 5% or whatever the threshold is.
Lego might be, but both Dragon 2 and Big Hero 6 feature some sincere moments that doesn't really resonate with toddlers but definitely resonates with adults. BH6 specifically tugged at my heart strings.
what im trying to say is that youre a monster, jett.
What was the Academy's argument for not having it?
Not a single non white actor or actress nominated.
nice to see American Sniper nominated - I was hoping it would be good !
I'm guessing Lego got the snub for mostly being a comedy. The Academy doesn't like to reward those, which is bullshit.
But most of the films that get nominated in that category are comedies!

7 pages and no written list? ok
Lego was robbed. We know it. Interstellar too. Worst Oscar year ever.
Interstellar was most certainly NOT robbed. In fact it got nominated for Oscars it doesn't even deserve, like best Sound Mixing.
Interstellar should win best score easy. Tars was robbed of best supporting role though.
