Does anyone think there will be a Best Director nomination for an animated film anytime soon? I’m not betting on it happening, but I’m surprised we don’t have Pete Doctor in the prediction centre (especially when Apatow, Schneider, O’Connor, Taymor, Caro, Mortensen and Showalter are all there for some reason). Are the odds just 0%?

 

OOO as much as I would love for that to happen, feature animation directors aren’t allowed membership to the DGA, and without that DGA backing, it’s hard to imagine it happening. I think an animated film will win Best Picture some day, (it should have been Inside Out), possibly without a Directing nomination.

Here’s an interesting article from 2015:

So… no animated features this decade were good enough to warrant a nomination outside Best Animated Feature/Best Original Song?

I have a feeling Mad Max: Fury Road and Inception will get the most nominations.

Correct me if I am wrong. Paramount Pictures is oldest major film studio and it has been very silent recently in terms of Oscar game. What happened?

this. They had ROCKETMAN this year and for whatever reason, it got lost in the shuffle. Not sure if I blame them, after all, Taron Egerton and Elton John were making the rounds this season.

I will say this re: Laura Dern. In the video, Daniel mentioned that there were a lot of votes for ALL the Supporting Actress nominees, and that Laura was only 100 votes ahead of the 5th place nominee.

We haven’t had our Best Picture winner repeat at the Oscars since 12 Years A Slave, but I’m hoping Parasite can break that stat!
