I'm glad about that too, but I wonder if it was the best decision on HFPA's part or not. It seems Hollywood is not too pleased with them refusing to accept their "punishment" and continuing with the awards this year. Maybe it'll take longer for them to make a comeback now, though I guess it'll also depend on the reforms they do and if those reforms are reflected in the nominations and awards or not.

This Monday their nominations are announced, as well as the Critics' Choice ones. It'll be interesting to see if the new members make some difference. Also, since submissions are not required this year given that no one wanted to submit their films to the awards, it'll be interesting to see which films they put in comedy or drama, what actors are in lead or supporting, or for example, which songs they choose out of all the possibilities. Speaking of songs, there are many from famous performers this year like Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, U2, etc, so I'm not sure if any Encanto song will make the cut. I hope one of them does, though. I'm also curious to see how the nominations are received. Most likely studios won't use the accolades gotten for their films' campaigns this time or things like that, but it'll be interesting to see if someone does.

^Wow, several surprises there. The most important one, I guess, is the snub of The Mitchells vs. the Machines, but also the inclusion of My Sunny Maad, which is not the kind of film they used to nominate before, or the Best Score nomination for Encanto. Disney did great at the nominations; all three of their animated films got in, Encanto getting three nominations in total. I'm especially glad Raya and the Last Dragon was among the nominees. I feared it could be forgotten this awards season since it was released so early and the category is so competitive this year. I'm also glad "Dos Oruguitas" was nominated. I hope it wins the award.

Interesting enough, despite Hollywood reportedly shunning the Golden Globes, Disney's social media accounts publicly acknowledged the nominations today.

The Critics Choice Association also announced their nominations today.

Here are the Animated Feature nominees:
Encanto
Flee
Luca
The Mitchells vs the Machines
Raya and the Last Dragon

And Encanto was nominated for Best Song and Flee was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.

That's really interesting indeed. I thought they wouldn't do it this time. I've checked the social media accounts from other studios and apparently, Disney is the only one that acknowledged the nominations. The HFPA retweeted Disney's posts in return. They also retweeted a tweet from the British Academy congratulating the nominees, but that's the only other message of support for them I've seen. Disney usually tries to avoid any controversy, so I'm surprised they're publicly showing their support for the Golden Globes this way. I wonder why they do it. One article said that some studios did submit their films to the awards, and now I have no doubt Disney was one of them.

I'm glad Raya and "Dos Oruguitas" were nominated here too. Of course, I'm also happy for Luca and Encanto, but I had no doubt they would get in.

The Oscar shortlists are out. Flee made it to both shortlists. The only Disney short that made it through was Us Again which is strange given how better received Far From the Tree and Twenty Something were. I think Cruella is a lock for a nomination in the costume design and makeup & hairstyling categories and a maybe in the production design category.

I love that Raya led the nominations. I guess the frontrunners for Best Feature are The Mitchells vs. the Machines and Luca, though, since Raya missed a directing nomination and Encanto a writing one.

I didn't know Far From the Tree and Twenty Something were better received than Us Again, but I remember the latter received a lot of praise too. I loved both Far From the Tree and Twenty Something and I wish they had made the cut, but Us Again was my favorite of the three, so I'm glad at least that one still has a chance of getting a nomination.

I think so too. Well, at least in the first two categories.

Welp, now everyone knows what I feel about Encanto. I don't think it deserves to win (but it might), I don't think Raya and the Last Dragon deserves to win. Luca is my favorite but I hope it doesn't win. The award should go to The Mitchells vs The Machines if it goes to a mainstream US movie, in my opinion.

^is MVTM really that good? I cant get past the wide South Park style eyes of the human characters. :-o

Im glad Encanto got noms but I think it will only win the music awards. I wish they had submitted WDTAB instead of DO though, that song is soooooo good. :up:

No, I don't think it's that good, but a lot of people seem to like it. Honestly this year it should go to one of the foreign films, but that only happened one time.

So happy for Encanto! I loved Raya, but Encanto was good, too. I knew Encanto had the better shot if WDAS did at all simply because Miranda's name would get an extra push. :shrug:

BAFTA Nomination Longlists Have Been Announced

Here are the animation categories:
ANIMATED FILM

Seven films will progress to Round Two of voting, and four will be nominated. This category is voted for in all three Rounds by an opt-in Chapter. 14 films were submitted for consideration.

Encanto
Flee
Luca
The Mitchells vs the Machines
Raya and the Last Dragon
Ron's Gone Wrong
Sing 2

BRITISH SHORT ANIMATION

Six films have been longlisted, and three will be nominated. Rounds One and Two (longlist and nominations) are a jury vote, and an opt in chapter will select the winner in Round Three.

Affairs of the Art
Do Not Feed The Pigeons
A Film About A Pudding
Homebird
Night of the Living Dread
Robin Robin
Flee also made the longlists for Documentary and Film Not in the English Language.

Cruella was included in the longlists for Outstanding British Film, Costume Design, Makeup & Hair, Production Design and Special Visual Effects. I'm not sure what qualifies Cruella as a British film, though. It was filmed in the UK, sure, but it was produced by American companies and with the exception of Kelly Marcel (who got a story credit), the director, writers and principal producers aren't British.

Good for it getting some fanfare from somewhere. I really wish it and Encanto's release dates could've been switched. I like Encanto fine, but I would've been fine with it being saddled with a March release. Then again, that was before there was a vaccine and I'm not sure if I would've been as willing to go to a theater to see Encanto at that time as I was Raya, since I didn't expect much out of Encanto beforehand unlike Raya.

Some much deserved Raya love! I'm still obsessed with that film; one of my most favorites that Disney has made.
