Dedicated anime fans have been aghast at the nominees for the 74th Annual Golden Globe awards, specifically the “Best Motion Picture – Animated” category as the highly grossing and much beloved Kimi no Na wa (and anime films in general) has been snubbed in favor of both western garbage and obscure titles.
Nominees for “Best Motion Picture – Animated” are as follows:
Kubo and the Two Strings
Moana
My Life as a Zucchini
Sing
Zootopia
The most recent Japanese animated film to be nominated at the Golden Globes was Hayao Miyazaki’s “The Wind Rises” three years ago, though unfortunately it lost to “The Great Beauty”.
Given how much more influential Japanese anime has started to become in the west (with even Nobel laureate peacebringer-in-chief Barack Obama being thankful for it), it has proven shocking to many that not even one entry made it into the nominees – but the chances Hollywood’s saltiness after the Trumpening and the noted love of his alt-right supporters for anime have anything to do with this seems as outlandish as a connection between top Democrat spirit cookers and pizza parlors…
Pathetic. If 3d animation is all it takes this time then the guys from Stage6 should be in it. Just goes to show that when the west talks about global, they only mean themselves. I don’t know why this crummy pageantry goes on with its current system.
You do realize it’s because it hasn’t had a wide release in the US yet, right? There’s nothing political here.
It has been released, for one week in Los Angeles, so it could be eligible for the Oscars. Sing hasn’t offically released, but is still nominated for the Globes. It matters if the movie was summitted for the Globes or not, because, unlike the Academy Awards, you have to register for the Golden Globes.
Honestly people, it’s not that good of a movie. Pretty to look at sappy Makoto Shinkai romance movie with a body swap twist. I fell asleep.
I read somewhere that the judge don’t even bother looking at the shows themselves before voting…
did you read it on a websitr run by sweedish kids?
Kimi no na wa hasn’t actually had a real American release in theaters. It’s only been shown in fewer, smaller theaters. That’s why it’s not getting the recognition it deserves.
