Maybe if it wins Anno will retire on top, and we'll never get FINAL.

When will Anno get nominated for Best Animated Feature.......?

Maybe some day..... ;__;

I wonder if Miyazaki or Suzuki will actually show up. I know he didn't show up back when he actually won it in 2003 because of America's involvement in the Middle East.

Now that we're pulling ourselves out, I wonder if he'll go, since it will be his last hurrah as a feature film director and all. Maybe Anno will show up and accept the award on his behalf if he wins, omg that would be epic and hysterical.

Honestly, I don't think he's gonna go, and Lasseter will be the one accepting the award if he does win.
Speaking of, this is probably the first time that a Pixar film wasn't even nominated for a best animated film oscar, lol.

Honestly, they're probably gonna give it to Frozen, because it's teh safe choice

I really don't know what to expect, I haven't seen Kaze Tachinu but it doesn't look like it's aimed at children and I don't know if this is an advantage or a disadvantage for this particular award.

I have to agree. While the Wind Rises does have a dark horse chance because its main selling point is that it's Miyazaki's last film, the Academy will give it to Frozen, not only because it is a safe choice, but it will be the film that Disney will lobby to the voters (as TWR will also be released by them). If that happens, there could be a good chance that the Academy will give Miyazaki a honorary award two or three years down the road.

The Wind Rises is a wonderful film.

But the award will go to Frozen. It's slowly becoming a mega-blockbuster & Disney is gonna push hard to support that. Especially since the film will be hitting Blu-Ray not long after the Oscars & they want those BD sales.

Disney is not going to campaign so hard for their secondary market film that won't make 5% of what Frozne has in the US even if it over performs by 100%.

It better not go to Despicable Me 2 or that'd be BS. Frozen looked ok but I haven't seen it yet. Wouldn't it be neat to see a movie that wasn't the standard 21st century western 3d Disney/Pixar style win this award. You know, one that actually looked hard to make. The winners of the animated shorts generally look more interesting to me 3d or not. Although I will say The Incredibles and Up were awesome and very deserving of wining.
