Has An Animated Film Won An Oscar For Best Picture

Why has no animated moving picture always won the All-time Moving-picture show Oscar?

Out of the hundreds of animated films that exist, only iii have e'er gotten a nomination for Best Picture:

Dazzler and the Beast (1991)
Up (2009)
Toy Story 3 (2010)

None of them won. They had to create a special honour called best animated feature simply to give animated films something. It is yet technically possible for an animated film to be nominated and the winner of Best Picture, but none have ever won, despite how many truly amazing blithe films there are. What the hell is going on?

level 1

Simple, Oscars barely know what they're doing

level two

Or perchance in that location wasn't a year when an blithe characteristic was better than all the other movies?

level 2

it's all a bunch of people patting themselves on the back telling you lot what you should spotter.

A documentary has never even been nominated for Best Picture. It took AMPAS over xc years to award a foreign-language film with the main honour (The Artist was French, yep, but mostly silent). The only fantasy movies to e'er win are LOTR-TROTK and The Shape of Water. The only horror movie to win is Silence of the Lambs (there are those who argue information technology isn't fifty-fifty horror). Only three westerns accept won. No sci-fi has ever won (unless you regard Water as such) etc.

The list is pretty all-encompassing. Animation is only i of their blind-spots.

level 1

Do you think that whatever of those 3 was the best movie for those years? Or whatever other years?

Because for me Silence of the Lambs is meliorate than the Beauty and the Creature.

Up is behind Inglorious Bastards and A Serious Homo.

Toy Story iii is my favorite of these 3 probably but it was nominated against the Social Network.

Now only Silence of the Lambs actually won, but the indicate is that I don't think there has been any animated film that was best picture worthy.

level 1

Beauty and the brute is my favorite!

level 1

Which was the year where an blithe picture was the really the all-time movie. The only one I can think of is Snow White in 1938 just they gave it a special award for the anyway the next year. Peradventure Bambi in 1943 or Toy Story in 1996 but that's a stretch.

level 2

The Tale of the Princess Kaguya is the best picture show of 2013 (and the best moving picture ever made just in general), Princess Mononoke is the all-time picture show of 1997, My Neighbour Totoro is the best picture show of 1988, etc. Feel free to disagree, merely dismissing an entire medium seems a chip much.

Oscars is a joke but the animes that are unfairly treated the most are the Japanese ones. They are mode superior to the American ones and they don't even win the Best Animated Feature. Iirc the only japanese anime that has won this catergory is Spirited Away. Imagine, movies similar Your Name losing the blithe category.

level 1

It's hard to take a cartoon seriously.

level 1

For the unproblematic reason people want to see people act like other people. For instance take 'Taxi Driver', it had multiple nomination, didn't win only that autonomously we take 1 of the all-time and well-nigh convincing acting anyone tin can see especially "You talkin to me?". Animated movies I'd say lack a certain intensity, movies with actors express and translate emotions across the screen much better and albeit information technology's easier equally well.

level 2

Grave of The Fireflies says Howdy

level one

I don't think they should be nominated. It's near unlike art form.

level 1

Most of the university don't even watch the animated features to vote in it'south ain category and merely vote on whatever Disney or Pixar released that yr. No way it's winning the chief honour whatever time presently. Fifty-fifty though it'southward been around for over a decade, animation is nevertheless seen as less prestigious than live action movies.

Let the old white boomers dice and peradventure we can get an blithe movie win in 40 years.

level 2

Animated movies have been effectually since 1937. That's multiple decades dating dorsum to before the boomers were even born.

level one

my hunch is if an animated picture wins best flick its saying to the world that regular actors aren't as necessary every bit they would similar others to call back

tbh, i think vocalization actors should be the ones doing these animated movies not whatever current famous celeb is hot

plus there is an element of snobbery. they want the oscars to have gravitas and maybe they call up animated films don't have that
