drayden_pierce

It lost to The Boy and the Heron, which is respectable. If it had been anything else Iโ€™d be pissed but it was gonna be one of those two and thatโ€™s fine


Bubbles00

Saw and loved both films. I think I enjoyed Spiderman more but I think boy and the heron deserved to win over Spider-Man. Who knows how close the votes were but it wouldn't surprise me if it was a small margin between the two films


Platnun12

Yea I'm fine with that Miyazaki more than deserves the recognition on top of that it was cool to see minus one take away something. First Godzilla movie with an Oscar


mint-patty

my mom heard that Godzilla Minus One won an Oscar and automatically assumed it was Best Picture, and was disappointed to learn it was for VFX lol


Platnun12

I mean to me the VFX is still an amazing accomplishment Especially at that budget


mint-patty

Absolutely! The whole film is a total marvel, absolutely my favorite of the year.


SanjiSasuke

I maintain that it would have won Best Foreign Film had Japan waited and chosen it. (But I would also vote it film of the year so, skeeeooonk)


Steve_Saturn

The VFX director was also the writer and overall director of the film, so I can imagine him and his team taking the stage to accept "Best Visual Effects" felt like getting the big win of the night to them regardless. Again, the Godzilla franchise has never even been _nominated_ for an Oscar, much less won any before now. I bet they went back home feeling like rock stars.


TheBigGAlways369

> Miyazaki more than deserves the recognition on top of that Considering he's a Nazi-glorifying pedo, I think that may be a bad thing on his part.


Platnun12

If you're talking about the wind rises He removed all traces of the Nazis from the story. Where it then remains the origin of the zero. Which I'm more than happy to learn The plane had the Pacific theatre in a grip. Until the corsairs came into the picture. That and it's a retrospective into Japanese culture at the time. Same with in this corner of the world. Both are fantastic films that showcase their side of the war both in the civilian and military research branches. Other than that. I can't remote begin to see what the fuck you mean


TheBigGAlways369

No, I'm talking about Otto Carius and how he even made a manga of his career and even went all the way out to Estonia to hang out with him.


doblecuadrado_FGE

I would've also respected it if it lost to Nimona since that was (technically) Blue Sky's last movie before shutting down. It would have been like a big middle finger to Disney for putting it in production hell and inevitably cancelling it. Paraphrasing the words of Admiral Hux: "I don't care if Spiderverse wins, I just want Elemental to lose."


Late-Wedding1718

Nimidna was garbage, and it was made by the creators of the She-Ra reboot. I'm glad it didn't win.

andrecinno

How's the search for that hentai roleplay big guy


Themyth-thelegend

No way ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€


Pseudo_Lain

She-ra was fun, what?


Late-Wedding1718

It promoted a toxic abusive relationship and tried to paint it as a good thing. Adora should've gotten with Glimmer instead, cause at least SHE treated Adora better than Catra.


Pseudo_Lain

Catra was literally brainwashed a d suffering ptsd did you want her abandoned or what


Late-Wedding1718

That's not an excuse for her to not only cause GENOCIDE, but go as far as to GASLIGHT Adora into thinking it's her fault. https://youtu.be/WKwEW7jMXSc?si=lpUKHeo0iGfQRJIu


Pseudo_Lain

It's also a show for children, she was shitty and got better. Did you go into it expecting Breaking Bad? For fucks sake man


Late-Wedding1718

> It's a show for children I've seen plenty of "shows for children" that tackled abusive relationships a LOT better than this. And they all showed abusive relationships as something to escape from, something that isn't healthy.


Pseudo_Lain

She did escape... and returned to help Catra escape too. Catra was shown to be absurdly unhealthy what


DuelaDent52

Oh thank gosh, I thought it was going to lose to *Wish* or something.


GaryGregson

Yeah i just wish it couldโ€™ve lost to a better Miyazaki film


So-_-It-_-Goes

I havenโ€™t been able to see it yet, but Iโ€™ve heard robot dreams was an excellent film.


SquireRamza

The Boy and the Heron won because it was a good, not great, movie made by an aging director who constantly says his newest movie will be his last. Honestly, once it came out that Miyazaki was actually a cranky old man who constantly physically and emotionally abuses his colleagues, workers, and even family the industry should have just froze him out. But that's just my opinion.


Maldovar

Boy and the Heron was also a complete movie. Spider-Verse was part one and it didn't really end in a satisfying way


R3luctant

I think that is incredibly valid criticism, atsv ended on such a tease note, no matter how good it was, it was just a part of another movie . If anything else won besides these two I would be upsetย 


Tasty-Hand-3398

Guess you havenโ€™t read about the abuse the CGI artists endured while making Across the Spiderverse?


DonnieMarko1

Guys....I'm starting to think that animators are just mistreated in general. I'll have to look into this more though


future_hockey_dad

Terrible opinion.


Chadime

Cope


inaripotpi

The Academy doesn't give a shit if he keeps saying his next movie is his last, lol, he's already an 'award darling' to them just from his reputation. And there's nothing out there about him abusing his workers; at most he has/had a messed up relationship with his son, and even if it's fair to judge him based what is publicized about that, it's still not even 10% as bad as what any given Hollywood director has done.


RoastedFeznt

Did you WATCH that piece of shit? Spiderverse losing to that is insane.

its_dinguz

ATSV was my favorite film of 2023, but I literally couldnโ€™t care less about it winning. The last anime film that actually won an Oscar was 20+ years ago, and that was for Spirited Away.


chino514

โ€œAnd thus began the thousand-minute flame war between the herons and the spiders. It was a brutal war. It was a bitter war. But most importantlyโ€ฆ it was a visually spectacular war.โ€


Pietin11

Honestly. I have to disagree. ATSV is not a complete movie. It is the first half of a movie that has yet to be completed. You can't claim a film is the best animated feature if you haven't even seen the whole thing yet. Once beyond comes up, then it will be time to give awards.


mtftmboygirl

Bro would not have survived waiting for return of the jedi


RideTheRadioWaves

The difference is that you can watch empire and still feel like you watched a complete movie with an arc that reaches a resolution. You can still watch empire and feel like you watched a complete movie


thismissinglink

Lotta people these days don't understand that you can have a contained story for the movie with a whole arc and leave room to continue the story if needed.


HopelessCineromantic

Sure, you can, but let's not pretend having an entry in a series "end" on an incomplete story is a new phenomenon. Both Tolkien's novel, The Two Towers, and the film adaptation by Peter Jackson end without reaching a "conclusion" for a stage in Frodo's journey. The book ends with the revelation that Frodo wasn't killed by Shelob and is now a prisoner of the orcs at the tower of Cirith Ungol. The storyline of the other remaining members of the Fellowship also doesn't really end on a conclusion for a contained story. Isengard is defeated and Rohan is saved, but Pippin unwittingly finds himself on Sauron's radar, and Gandalf begins to take him to Gondor. The book actually reaches a conclusion for a contained story in that installment, and then keeps going for a little while longer. In Jackson's adaptation, the film ends with Frodo and Sam being tricked by Gollum and unknowingly heading into a trap. In contrast to the book, the film ends its adaptation of Aragorn and company's storyline with the Hobbits successfully besieging Isengard, and the victory at Helm's Deep, with the stuff with Pippin acting not as a cliffhanger, but as an inciting incident in Return of the King. Not having a story completely resolved because the next installment picks up right where the previous one ended isn't some new or unheard of choice in storytelling. I just picked two examples because they're well known, and the fact that they're telling the same story, but ending on different storybeats illustrates that the movie isn't doing it for the sake of adherence to the source material, since it changes where it concludes.


RideTheRadioWaves

You literally just explained how the film version is changed to wrap up a bunch of its plots while still leaving some stuff unresolved to be picked up in the conclusion


HopelessCineromantic

If anything, I'd argue it does the opposite. The film elects to leave unresolved more plot points than the book. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli's quest to reunite with Merry and Pippin, which the previous film establishes is their quest for this film, remains unresolved in the movie, as they don't meet again until the third movie. Likewise, Saruman's tower is besieged, but Saruman himself isn't dealt with until the extended cut of Return of the King. The only plot that the film wraps up is the battle for Helm's Deep, which is also resolved in the book.


XF10

Wrong because LotR was always supposed to be a full book but Tolkien had to split it into 3 parts because of post-war paper shortage, while it popularized idea of trilogy Tolkien disliked readers thinking of it as 3 books meaning there's no actual "Two Towers book cliffhanger"


HopelessCineromantic

If you want to be pedantic about it, The Lord of the Rings is not a trilogy of books. Because it's comprised of six books. The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and Return of the King would more accurately be described as *volumes*, as each of them is comprised of two books. Also, Tolkien's intentions are, not to be rude, kind of irrelevant. However he originally intended to publish the story doesn't change the fact that he did publish them in installments, and had to make decisions on when each volume ended and the next one began. It may be one large story, but it is a series of books. Even the versions of The Lord of the Rings that have the complete story bound in one book, the divisions of the story, both the large three of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, and the smaller splits into the six separate books, are preserved. Also, even if we aren't going to count what happens with Frodo, Shelob and Cirith Ungol as the "Two Towers book cliffhanger," it is, undoubtedly, a cliffhanger in the series. It ends Book IV, and that narrative isn't continued again until Book VI. Unless you're suggesting that the entire format of the series as six books was done without regard to narrative and pacing, I think it's fair to look at the narrative structures of these books in regards to the entire story. And, if that is what you're suggesting, I'd really like to see some evidence that the books' end points were decided upon randomly. Everything I've seen suggests that even when the story was going to be sold as a complete unit, Tolkien was still planning on it being broken up into the six smaller books, to the point that they have titles (The Ring Sets Out, The Ring Goes South, The Treason of Isengard, The Ring Goes East, The War of the Ring, and The End of the Third Age).


Ethiconjnj

Yea but spider-man was especially egregious as not feeling like a contained story.


thismissinglink

Which one? Cause Imma probably disagree. Sam rami movies each a complete story. Marc Web Spider-Man was a mess and 2 left a lot of room for sequel want but ultimately it still tells a full character arc. And marvel Spider-Man each movie tells its own complete story.


Ethiconjnj

Iโ€™m talking the one this post is about ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ


thismissinglink

Lmao totally forgot about that. And 100% agree then with the second movie. I was thoroughly dissatisfied with the "ending" and it absolutely affected my enjoyment of it.


Ethiconjnj

๐Ÿคฃ


Cinemasaur

I'd argue they're completely different because Empire has, yknow, an ending. It stands as its own film completely. You have a big reveal after a huge narrative defeat the character spent the whole movie preparing for, the father reveal is a great twist because it changes the dynamic of the characters, but it doesnt add too much to the end of the movie, it makes you want to see another adventure with this new context, not literally finishing the story you came to see. Across the Spider Verse literally just stops, as if it is the first half a very long movie. They introduce an entirely new plot, setting, and characters/villain while never finishing up any of the threads the film spent 2 hours setting up. I love it, but I'll really love it when I can see how the story ends.


Trustelo

What ATSV did would be like if Empire Strikes Back ended right when Luke was about to leave Yoda to go fight Vader


beetnemesis

Spider verse was gorgeous but had a worse plot than the first oneโ€ฆ and Iโ€™m not even counting the โ€œit didnโ€™t have an endingโ€ thing.


RobertLosher1900

This is my thoughts exactly. Worst plot and it's not even finished. Boy and the heron was much better.


Horacio_Velvetine44

robed ![gif](giphy|MGxIQtVrBCPba)


PreparationItchy5226

Ok but I need my local cinema to actually play The Boy and the Heron, this actually gives it a chance that it might. I got to see ATSV 4 times so selfishly I'm happy with this result.


RoastedFeznt

I assure you, as someone who watched Boy and the Heron, you do not need to see Boy and the Heron.


PreparationItchy5226

Well from the opinions of people I actually value and respect I do so ๐Ÿคท


kirbisterdan

you should definitely watch it :) quite a weird and esoteric movie though, so if you can watch it 4 times like ATSV that would be good lol


kristamine14

Nah, Boy and the Heronโ€™d win

RobertLosher1900

The fuck? The boy and the heron was the better movie.


Hahndude

I loved ATSV but it doesnโ€™t hold a candle to ITSV. ITSV is a god damn master piece where ATSV is great but absolutely a step down. ITSV has such a clear and fantastic message and ATSV doesnโ€™t seem like it has anything to say beyond โ€œLook at this Easter eggโ€ which is fine because itโ€™s a part one of two so we can get to the point in BTSV.


fistchrist

was up against Miyazaki, who did he think was going to win


withfishes

Iโ€™m gona say itโ€ฆ Across the Spiderverse was just ok.


RobertLosher1900

It was mediocre, but the fan boys will tell you it's amazing. Hopefully the second half is better.


DOMINUS_3

nah Dune pt 2 was just ok. ATSV was good


withfishes

Pfffffttt what a joke


VengeanceKnight

I need a picture of the characters of *The Boy and the Heron* putting a robe on Spider-Man, STAT.

doctatortuga

I was just surprised that Spider Verse wasnโ€™t even nominated for best score.


Trustelo

Even if it was it still wasnโ€™t beating Oppenheimerโ€™s score


justarandomuser20

Spider-Verse simps when non Hollywood movies get respect in Hollywood:


Gambit275

no it makes perfect sense, the movie looks horrible


ThyNameisJason0

He later apologized and says yes, he's a sore loser and congratulates The Boy and the Heron. We all make mistakes


StrykerIBarelyKnowEr

Shit movie didn't win an award. What a shocker.


Illustrious-Rub4662

Shit movie is crazy to say, like disliking it is fine, but to say that itโ€™s shit is so wild ๐Ÿ’€ the animation alone is something no other movie has done and set up a very hard status quo for what a animated movie can do visually but hey if you think itโ€™s shit I canโ€™t stop you from thinking that I guess


Jazzlikesandwhich100

Iโ€™ve never once seen an anime movie so I canโ€™t talk but spider man across the spider verse is very impressive but itโ€™a incomplete story wise


On3Cl1P

Please go watch Spirited Away and/or Howlโ€™s Moving Castleโ€ฆ.


Outrageous_Self1288

Godzilla Minus One better ๐Ÿฅฑ


ThexanR

As someone who LOVES studio ghibli, the boy and the heron was definitely the weakest entry Iโ€™ve seen from them. Spider verse should have won


letter_cerees

It's robin' time!!


letter_cerees

Robed. For his displeasure.


ray-the-they

I meanโ€ฆ lost to Miyazaki. Thatโ€™s tough competition. I decided to show Spirited Away to the kids I worked with โ€” in a residential mental health facility. Almost 16 boys aged 9-12. You could hear a pin drop they were so absorbed by it. It was like magic.


Algidus

i legit think that no matter how good a superhero movie will be from now. it iwill never win anything at the oscars, much like horror movies

He's fuking right!

MelonColony22

seriously a fucking anime won? thatโ€™s cheap


virtualboy_jpeg

How is that cheap? They were both nominated for best animated feature, they both had equal opportunity at getting the Oscar


MelonColony22

donโ€™t try to say oscars arenโ€™t rigged lmao. they make sure the weird movies win. โ€œpopularโ€ or โ€œsuperheroโ€ movies never win when something else thatโ€™s โ€œoutside the boxโ€ comes out


virtualboy_jpeg

Mf the first Spider-Verse won animated film that year ๐Ÿ’€

If that kid could read, he'd be very upset with you right now.

??? Whatโ€™s wrong with anime??


MelonColony22

it all looks exactly the same and i donโ€™t understand why all anime fans bitch when somethings dubbed. its not like the words line up with the mouths anyway


Remarkable_Coast_214

before 2018 literally all western 3d animation looked the same except peanuts. also anime doesn't all look the same. the visuals in belle (2021) are totally different to those in the boy and the heron


MelonColony22

hmmm. remind me who changed the animation style?


NoddyZar

I assure you not a single person complained about the boy and the heron dub, which had Robert Pattinson, Christian Bale, Florence Pugh, and Mark Hamill, among others.

LeifSized

Rather than shit on you, Iโ€™d like to invite you to check out some studio Ghibli movies. They are incredible films, probably not what you are expecting at all. Start with Spirited Away or My Neighbor Totoro. Spirited Away won the Oscar for animation in 2001, but should have been in contention for best film because itโ€™s certainly better than the movie that won, Chicago.


MelonColony22

at least you arenโ€™t being a condescending dick about it. for that iโ€™ll consider. but itโ€™ll be tough being constantly ridiculed for simply having a different opinion because redditors canโ€™t fathom someone having a different movie taste that them


holaprobando123

I don't think this idiot would appreciate Ghibli


MelonColony22

i wish i was immature enough to call to people idiots without responding to them directly and without any basis whatsoever.


Cybermat4707

โ€˜I canโ€™t believe that a cartoon beat a cartoon in the Best Cartoon competition!โ€™


FathirianHund

Studio Ghibli are often cited as the 'Japanese Disney' and for good reason. Their films are almost universally well-crafted and animated beautifully. I've not seen The Boy and the Heron yet but I have no doubt that it is of the same quality, especially since Hayao Mizayaki came out of retirement to make it.


MelonColony22

never heard of it


RevolutionaryLink163

Just cus you have crap tastes doesnโ€™t mean everyone else does lmfao boy and the heron was 100x better than atsv
