The Oscars are the oldest and most famous prizes since the inception of theaters, in which the best of the best in the industry is rewarded either by genre of films or by their distributions that are from director to actors.
To be able to this finalist of one of the many categories that have these awards, as I said before, you must be the best of the best, to have stood out among thousands of films that premieres every year. Why is that said, because next to the world there is a culture that is growing every year and little by little is being recognized at the national level, so much so that they have done live action (they have not been successful because of the bad way that is adapted) or that are in negotiations to adapt it.
The culture I am referring to is the Japanese anime or animation industry whatever you want to call it, it will surely make us a family since some of us grew up watching one of these series in which the most recognized if you lived between the eighties, nineties or two thousand that can be mentioned would be Dragon Ball, Digimon, Pokemon, Slam dunk, Sakura Cardcaptor, Ranma ½, Inuyasha to name a few.
As we have seen more and more people are being fans of this form of animation, and which companies have been interested in them and have marketed both serial or manga format (Japanese comic) and other large studies that have disappointed us with Pathetic and disgusting adaptations in the case of Fox with Dragon Ball, and the most recent Netflix with Death Note.
And although it is seen that everything that has been spoken is bad, not all is lost since the Japanese industry itself are trying and have managed to get anime films to reach beyond their borders to such a point of this pre-nominated to be in the Oscar awards.
As we know, this is not the first time that an anime film has been nominated for awards even if it wins, since Spirited Away won as the best animated film of the Oscars in 2002 and if we take a recent example, last year the film Kimi no na wa was a finalist in the pre-nomination for best animated film and although it is not an achievement that some awards such as the Oscars think an anime movie could be nominated.
Now if you were frustrated to know that Kimi no no wa, I do not stay as a finalist and include myself, you will be happy to know that this year there are 5 anime movies that will be in the pre-nominations to win an Oscar for Best Picture Encouraged, and although it will be difficult since there are other 21 film
s that also want a position to the Oscars, the road can go a long way and who knows, one of these films can have the prizes.
And if you do not know which movies are on the list, they are: Koe No Katachi, Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni, Sword Art Online Ordinal Scale, Hirune Hime Shiranai Watashi no Monogatari and Mary to Majo no Hana. Seeing these dominations Will there be an opportunity for the anime among the awards this year?
And if you think so, have you seen one of this nominated anime movie?
