>>83808628I know that, I've seen the Hollywood Reporter articles of voters acting like retards when it comes to animation -- calling Song of the Sea and The Tale of the Princess Kaguya "obscure freaking Chinese fuckin' shit" before voting for *shudder* Big Hero 6....
Still doesn't make the pain go away.
>>83808619Doesn't matter. They'll overhype it because it's Pixar.
I mean, fuck look at the year Brave won. It was the weakest nominee based on critic reviews but it still won because people will blindly vote for Pixar if it's nominated these days (i.e. since Ratatouille won in 2007).
This is how they vote:
1.) Is a Pixar film nominated? Yes? Vote for it.
2.) No Pixar film? What about Disney? Yes! Vote for it.
3.) No Disney or Pixar film? You mean I actually have to make an effort? Ugh, fine I guess I'll vote for that strange flick with the Johnny Depp lizard
Since 2007 the only non-Disney-produced animated film to win the category has been Rango (thank God it did -- though Kung Fu Panda 2 was still pretty boss), and the only reason won was because the Disney film that year flopped (Winnie the Pooh) and wasn't nominated, and Cars 2 was an abortion that wasn't nominated.
