It's a dub of an already-released movie, so it's not eligible...what a
snub. All those stupid, cheesy Tom Hanks movies are constantly getting
Oscars...they don't even have martial arts in 'em.
Hey, Apollo 13 was a pretty darn good film. Though Braveheart, which won,
really deserved it, despite historical inaccuracies.
At least "Toy Story" isn't getting anything. That was about Macross II
quality.
Which is still a heck of a lot better than almost anything else that comes
out with the Disney logo on it. :)
YEAH!! Why don't the really good movies ever get recognition? I
would've loved to have seen 'Wings of Honneamise' or something get some
kinda award. That bites!
Wings should've been eligible. Last year, as I recall, Hayao Miyazaki and
Isao Takahata's film "Heisei Tanuki Gassen Ponpoko" (Present-Day Tanuki
War Goes Pon-poko! or a translation that makes more sense, The Raccoon War
Heats Up) was nominated for some award that's considered to be an
international equivalent of the Oscars, so at least SOME film boards have
good taste. And Siskel and Ebert rated Wings of Honneamise as "As good or
better than anything 'Uncle Walt' has to offer." so there may be hope for
mainstreaming some QUALITY anime. (Thinks John, at least, gets my
meaning here.)
Well, who knows...maybe Ghost in the Shell will get it this coming year,
right? :)
