Menken has the most aesthetically pleasing display out of that lot. But I guess it’s easier when you have beaucoup Oscars!Sotiris wrote:See where 13 Academy Award winners keep their Oscars

Fingers crossed for “Wolfwalkers” in this day and age when a lot of voters haven’t watched everything. Pixar is amazing. “Soul” is great. But somebody needs to break the cycle. Pixar has the stranglehold on lazy voters who don’t watch all the features. “What was the Pixar? We saw that one!” The Pete Docter movie I liked more was “Inside Out.” I didn’t like “Onward” so much. “A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon” is Aardman. They make it look easy, which is a compliment: they don’t always get the credit they deserve.

Source: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists ... est-ballotI didn't see Over the Moon. I skipped [A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon]. Onward was fun but isn't sophisticated. Wolfwalkers was beautiful. But Soul is a masterpiece — it's unequivocally my favorite movie of the year. I put it at No. 1 for best picture on my nominations ballot — that obviously didn't work out, which is annoying because I think animated and international films aren't considered enough for that category.
At least it seems they watched some of the animated films this year.Sotiris wrote:Oscar voters anonymously reveal who they voted for in the Best Animated Feature category.
It's also the fifth Pixar film to receive 2 Oscars after The Incredibles, Up, Toy Story 3 and Coco. I'm glad it won in both categories. I think it's a deserving winner.Sotiris wrote:Soul won Best Animated Feature making Pete Docter the Pixar director with the most Oscar wins. The film also won Best Score.
That's true, but I'm actually more surprised that in the first two years the Spark Shorts are eligible for the award, they've been nominated both times.Sotiris wrote:It's interesting that both Pixar shorts that were part of the Spark Shorts program, KitBull and Burrow, failed to win in the category.
That's true, good observation! I bet it was intentional.Disney's Divinity wrote:I noticed that they didn't show any part of the film when they're green blobs in the video package.
I am! I was definitely surprised I was one of the winners since I got the lead acting categories, adapted screenplay and cinematography wrong.D82 wrote:By the way, estefan, are you the same estefan on the Animated Views forum? If so, congratulations on being one of the winners of their Oscar contest this year!
This marks Disney's 14th win in the Animated Feature category out of 20 ceremonies (or the 15th if you count Spirited Away) and their tally will most likely increase next year with a win for either Luca or Encanto (my money's on Encanto).D82 wrote:It's also the fifth Pixar film to receive 2 Oscars after The Incredibles, Up, Toy Story 3 and Coco.
Still, it's disappointing that no 2D-animated Pixar short has ever won in the category. Day & Night, Kitbull, and Burrow were better than most of their shorts that did win, in my opinion.D82 wrote:That's true, but I'm actually more surprised that in the first two years the Spark Shorts are eligible for the award, they've been nominated both times.
But those were difficult categories to predict this year, most people had them wrong too. You did great. You even guessed best song right, which was a surprise win.estefan wrote:I am!

Wow, that's really impressive. Pixar has many more wins than WDAS, though; 11 vs. 3.Sotiris wrote:This marks Disney's 14th win in the Animated Feature category out of 20 ceremonies (or the 15th if you count Spirited Away) and their tally will most likely increase next year with a win for either Luca or Encanto (my money's on Encanto).
It is, but I don't think they lost because they were 2D. I hope some 2D-animated Pixar short wins in the future.Sotiris wrote:Still, it's disappointing that no 2D-animated Pixar short has ever won in the category.
