Not counting Lego, I think Big Hero 6 was the best.

 

[EightBitNate]

Is American Crime gonna be good

 

[Finalow]

"Kaguzha?"

and that's why right there.

 

[Ahasverus]

Disney won the Disney award? Shocking I tell you.

 

[RangersFan]

Did Dragon 1 win? I don't remember.

fucking robbed by Toy Story 3.

 

[Toad.T]

2016 ANIMATED FILM WINNERS:

Short Film: Frozen Fever- Disney
Feature Film: Inside Out- Pixar

Lol I'm guessing a lot of you didn't actually see BH6

Yeah, no. I saw it launch week. Weakest of the bunch by far.

 

[?oe?oe]

Wait, people hated BH6? I went into the movie with no knowledge of it and thought it was great!

 

[Trago]

Did Dragon 1 win? I don't remember.

I don't think so.

 

[Nesotenso]

Saldana looked good.

 

[AdanVC]

I'm kinda tired of only see Disney or freaking Pixar movies winning the animation category all the time. Ugh, sad Princess Kaguya didn't win

 

[GQman2121]

Does anyone know what American Crime is about? They're pretty vague on what the actual crime is.

 

[GavinUK86]

BH6 was a fantastic movie but not the best in that category.

 

[Loxley]

Damn I think NPH has surpassed Letterman in terms of suck. Not as bad as Franco/Hathaway yet.

Which is strange because NPH has killed it when he's hosted the Tonys.

*shrug*

 

[jtb]

What is up with not showing actual, proper clips and footage for the visual effects and animated short/film nominees? Seriously whoever decided that is an idiot. Ever since I was a kid one of my favorite things about the Oscars was watching the footage for the SPFX nominees and learning about new animated shorts I never knew about. But no, let's just keep the timer on the show running any way we can.

sorry we need more uninspired jokes and canned routines

 

[jackdoe]

Big Hero 6 completely fell apart as a movie after the team got together. The second half of the movie was such a mess that it wasted the potential of the first half. Because of that, I wouldn't call it a bad movie, just a mediocre movie.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Real talk, do you think Academy members even get half of the pop culture references in Lego Movie?

 

[RusselUp]

A little surprised that HTTYD2 didn't win it after the Golden Globes win but being in LA, heard all the heavy marketing campaign for Big Hero 6 after the Oscar noms came out. Definitely think they made a huge difference/shift in the vote.

 

[injurai]

Disney won the Disney award? Shocking I tell you.

dem budgets all over the place

 

[Defunkled]

I really enjoyed Big Hero 6 but Kaguya is legit one of the top 5 Ghibli movies of all time.

 

[MIMIC]

Lol I'm guessing a lot of you didn't actually see BH6

I think this is the first year (recently) where I haven't seen ANY of the nominated animation films

 

[Chezzymann]

Not feeling the big hero 6 choice. When was the last time a Disney/Pixar film didn't win? I feel we need more variety in winners.

 

[Violet_0]

I bet none of you has watched Song of Sea

 

[Exterminieren]

Big Hero 6 was... OK. But an Oscar winner? Nah. It got there on the Disney name alone.

 

[RangersFan]

Pixies instrumental, nice, need to download this right now.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

shamelessly stolen from Narag over at the Anime thread when I said Kaguya got snubbed

 

[seady]

Did Dragon 1 win? I don't remember.

It lost to Toy Story 3 that year.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Real talk, do you think Academy members even get half of the pop culture references in Lego Movie?

I doubt they actually saw it.

 

[Cheebo]

fucking robbed by Toy Story 3.

I really liked the first HTTYD but Toy Story 3 is in another class, TS3 is an all time animated classic for the ages. It deserved that win 110%.

 

[Branduil]

Fake anime over real anime.

 

[KxoZz]

lol BH6 was great, well deserved

 

[arts&crafts]

Thats the only Photoshop commercial I have seen in my lifetime.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

Real talk, do you think Academy members even get half of the pop culture references in Lego Movie?

The know the characters by how much their films made.

 

[Trago]

Real talk, do you think Academy members even get half of the pop culture references in Lego Movie?

Hell no.

 

[Skiptastic]

God, even with just ten seconds of Somewhere Over the Rainbow I get emotional. Greatest film song ever and always will be. One of the great songs of all time.

 

[Mortimer Brewster]

Damn I think NPH has surpassed Letterman in terms of suck. Not as bad as Franco/Hathaway yet.

They are having a shitty year in terms of hosting which can only mean the organizers of the Oscars are already on the phone with Billy Crystal.

 

[Garraboa]

I just want for tbhe 88th awards to happen so that Marnie can lose and I can finally stop paying attention to this "Best Animated Feature" Bullshit farce.

 

[JABEE]

Neil Patrick Harris can't even pull off that joke

 

[Hours Left]

Since the underwear skit NPH has been doing much better. More relaxed.

 

[Oersted]

Not feeling the big hero 6 choice. When was the last time a Disney/Pixar film didn't win? I feel we need more variety in winners.

Chihiro?

 

[Wafflecakes]

I do feel like very few Academy members give two shits about animation and just check the Disney box on their ballot.

 

[Sanjuro]

Real talk, do you think Academy members even get half of the pop culture references in Lego Movie?

I didn't get most of the Lego Movie, so my guess is NOPE.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

Lol, the salty tears of anime GAF are delicious.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

The animated film category is brought to you by Walt Disney Studios.

You can participate, but we shall win.

I loved Big Hero 6 tho lol

Like when the pinguins dancing won instead of cars that year, am I right?

But yeah, Lego was robbed this year.

And Brave fucked up wreck it ralph two years ago.
Fuck the animation voting, they know 0.

 

[HK-47]

Real talk, do you think Academy members even get half of the pop culture references in Lego Movie?

Who cares? The Lego Movie should have won for doing something different with 3D animation rather than the same generic style every fucking Pixar/DAS/Dreamworks movie is a slave to.

 

[RangersFan]

Which is strange because NPH has killed it when he's hosted the Tonys.

*shrug*

Exactly, that is why everyone is so shocked. You would think he'd be killing it. Blame has got to be on the writers. This should be NPH's jam.

 

[DangerMouse]

I looove BH6, but Kaguya was robbed.

I can agree with this. I loved both but Kaguya was more award material. Also Dragon 2 was also great. Loved all three movies.

Suprised Dragon 2 didn't win, knew Kaguya would get robbed.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

Big Hero 6 completely fell apart as a movie after the team got together. The second half of the movie was such a mess that it wasted the potential of the first half. Because of that, I wouldn't call it a bad movie, just a mediocre movie.

replacing a topic norm with a female version: "woman up". VISIONARY

It's fucking bad.

 

[CreepingFear]

Look, it's not an old white guy.

 

[Nakho]

We getting in on predictions?

Okay, let's do it! Hollywood Reporter Oscar Voter Superpowers ACTIVATE! Now I can correctly choose which movie will win awards for artistic merit without having actually seen all the movies I will be rewarding!

BEST PICTURE: Birdman ("A movie about making movies that feels SERIOUS. We can't resist")
BEST DIRECTOR: Richard Linklater - Boyhood (Insert stupid RLM 12 years meme here)
BEST ACTOR: Michael Keaton - Birdman (He's due)
BEST ACTRESS: Julianne Moore - Still Alice (She's Julianne Moore)
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: JK Simmons - Whiplash (The lockiest lock of the entire night)
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Patricia Arquette - Boyhood (If the movie is at all engaging, it's because of her & Hawke)
BEST ANIMATED FILM: Big Hero 6 (Boxtrolls is too ugly, Kaguya is too "weird.")
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY: Emmanuel Lubezki - Birdman ("It was all one shot!")
BEST COSTUME DESIGN: Anna B. Shepard - Maleficent ("Those HORNS!")
BEST DOCUMENTARY: Citizenfour ("I think this is important, right? The other one's about the lady who took pictures. This one, I guess")
BEST DOCUMENTARY SHORT: The Reaper ("Sounds serious. Can't resist")
BEST EDITING: Sandra Adair - Boyhood (Repeat stupid RLM 12 years meme here)
BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM: Ida ("Nuns that smoke are smoking hot.")
BEST MAKEUP & HAIRSTYLING: Guardians of the Galaxy ("They made Vin Diesel look like a Tree!")
BEST SCORE: Alexander Desplat - The Grand Budapest Hotel ("Interstellar was just, like, a guy sitting on an organ.")
BEST SONG: Everything is Awesome - The Lego Movie ("I don't even like this song")
BEST PRODUCTION DESIGN: The Grand Budapest Hotel ("I want a Mendl's box")
BEST ANIMATED SHORT: Feast ("It's title is a verb. Makes it sound serious.")
BEST LIVE ACTION SHORT: The Phone Call ("Butter Lamp sounded kinda awesome, but a Phone Call - that could be serious.")
BEST SOUND EDITING: American Sniper ("There's gunshots in there.")
BEST SOUND MIXING: Whiplash ("I guess he wasn't even really drumming!")
BEST VISUAL EFFECTS: Interstellar ("I mean, they made Vin Diesel look like a tree, but Interstellar was in outer space, like, the whole time")
BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY: Jason Hall - American Sniper ("It was based on a true story! I guess so were some of the others, but they were boring and British.")
BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: Wes Anderson, Hugo Guinness - Grand Budapest Hotel ("I liked it more than any of the other movies, but it's not serious. So it gets this")

OK, this is getting creepy now. You only got 3 wrong, and in some very unimportant categories. Are you the President of the Academy?

 

[Skellig Gra]

Those earrings look really fucking expensive.
