Oscars and anime: an unfair prize for the tyrant industry...

in anime •  7 years ago 

Of course, the most famous awards for the film industry in general are the prestigious Gold Award: the Oscars. We always relate to films that are nominated for her and then race very hard to win them. We often criticize it because some titles have been nominated for it, but we do not think it really deserves a ticket to enter the race. But the most upsetting of this and that there are categories and segments of art are completely marginalized every year, although in some titles this is a major achievement. That category is an animation class. The committee focuses everything on Hollywood films with live representation and does not give much of the animations that take the technological steps behind the computer screens. Especially Japanese anime. It is the mother art, the masterpiece and the eloquent of all the animated arts now.

Honestly, I don't think that film awards like the Oscars are really worth worrying about. The people who care about them are most likely westerners with little interest in anime anyway. I personally don't pay attention to awards or anything, as they're not even a particularly good indication if I'll like a film or not.

Oscars are, after all, for US films. It is a Hollywood PR campaign. It is no wonder they don't want to shine light on competitor's work.

Fortunately you have Maid-chan to do it!
Maid-chan will review animes and she is sure you will find some interesting ones you not already know in her revies!

And to be praised by Maid-chan is waaay better then any gold-glowing statue of a man with digestion problems!

That's quite the ego you've got there :')

We should be honest with ourselves. The Academy Awards don't matter. It's an industry circlejerk and half or less of the Academy Awards awarded are actually deserved. This goes as well to the Best Animated Feature category.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that anime should win those awards. Good movies should win those awards and that has consistently not been the case. Big Hero 6 was average at best, yet it beat out Song of the Sea, The Tale of Princess Kaguya and How to Train Your Dragon 2.

The last deserved award was to Toy Story 3. 2011 onwards has all been awarded to bad movies. Rango was bad. Brave was bad. Frozen was bad. Big Hero 6 was bad. Inside Out was not bad, but also not better than any of the other nominees save Shaun the Sheep. Zootopia was bad.

This year there's a chance Loving Vincent will win. That would be a long awaited deserved victory.
