I know nobody here seems to care about the Academy Awards anymore, but I thought I'd bring this up, even if it happened almost two weeks ago now (doubt anyone will notice this post...)
To the surprise of almost no one, "Zootopia" won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature last night. Pixar also gained the Best Animated Short award for their "Piper." Congrats to "Zootopia," as I really loved the film. Heck, when I was at Anthro New England last month, there were a couple of Nick Wilde cosplayers, and I had fun with them with me in my Disney Big Bad Wolf fursuit.
But the actual presentation of the awards were pretty lame. What do Gael García Bernal and Hailee Steinfeld know about animation?
And I recall the "In Memoriam" video left out a number of the voice actors that passed away last year, such as Brian Bedford, Joe Alaskey, Alan Young, Janet Waldo... Come on!
Oscars, anyone?
What do Gael García Bernal and Hailee Steinfeld know about animation?Not much, but Hollywood is every bit as political as The Capitol, and getting on stage at all involves clout angling and backroom deals.
And I recall the "In Memoriam" video left out a number of the voice actors that passed away last year ...The Academy Awards are a spectacle first and foremost; getting the facts right is secondary at best. If you're looking for competency in Hollywood, wowwee, are you in the wrong place.
Nice get-up, by the way, very on-model. :thumbsup:
I haven't watched the Oscars since they've consolidated the classic film parts...they don't show the classic films much on the Oscar shows like they used to...
