WOW. A Spanish film won the Annies… and the same night, LOST the Spanish Goya to Buñuel in the Labyrinth of Turtles.
Can’t even win in their own country…nice.
The fact that Klaus lost its own country’s animated movie award at the Spanish Academy Goyas just shows how fraudulent the Annies travesty was. The snub of Frozen II has set off a chain reaction of events that has hopelessly tainted the Animated Film Oscar.
Did you even see Klaus? It was very good.
Not a Netflix subscriber. Never will be. They cancel their non-Stranger Things TV shows after 2 or 3 seasons like they’re burning money.
Well, in that case, what makes you so sure it’s terrible?
Tainted the Animated Film Oscar? That Oscar has probably the most horrible track record of them all. May I remind you that Studio Ghibli has only won this Oscar once.
Everything you post on the comments is a lie.
Did not Klaus lose the Goya for Animated Film to Buñuel in the Labyrinth of Turtles.last night? So your statement is wrong on its face.
Tainted Animated Film Oscar? You should watch Klaus before making beyond terrible judgments. Frozen II was snubbed because it wasn’t as creative or original as Klaus. You should subscribe to Netflix if you want to see what new creative ideas (besides Parasite) is out there.
The Animated Branch know better and Frozen 2 was rightfully snubbed for a Klaus or I Lost My Body, 2 films which wholly represents the artistry of their craft as a personal vision and storytelling and not a cash-grab machine.
How old are you? Only a child could throw a tantrum such as you’ve been about a sequel of a film that won plenty awards it’s first time! Name just one reason why Frozen 2 is so overwhelmingly deserving! Is it for it’s completely original plot? How about it’s outstanding voice cast? Amazing world building? Or perhaps another song that just happens to be very popular?
The film is about as special as a jar of mayonnaise and will quickly be forgotten soon as it’s out of the cinema other than little girls pestering their parents to buy them more cheap plastic made in China junk with a frozen sicker plastered on it! Disney doesn’t care at all if the film wins anything, it was made to sell merchandise and I’m certain it’ll do pretty well with this!
OMG. Deserved!! David VS Goliat
For me, Klaus is the best animated movie this year so far
at all… I have seen 4 out of the 5 Animated Feature nominees and Klaus is 3rd distanced from the first two which are almost tied, Toy Story 4 and I lost my body. I am spanish but not blind… Klaus is a beautiful film, but flawed
Agreed.
This doesn’t seem like a bad place for this… (Also, the Annies are the most predictive, right?!)
Apologize in advance for posting this to as many threads as possible, for obvious reasons! It’s easy to skip over, though, once voted.
All who have seen each of the nine Best Picture nominees at the Oscars this year (give or take a Ford v Ferrari, which clearly cannot win either the online simulation or the Oscar, and maybe also Marriage Story, for the same reason, although I’m less decided in that case) are invited to post their ranked ballots in reply to this comment – with sincere thanks in advance -, for my 9th Annual Best Picture Preferential Ballot Simulation!
Since I haven’t seen Little Women (or Parasite or Jojo Rabbit – but at least the first of these I’m seeing very soon) myself and won’t be able to until the 7th or 8th (which is when it premieres over here), I will refrain from voting this year. (My mom also won’t be able to vote, for similar reasons.) Unofficially, here is my ranking of the six movies I’ve seen thus far:
1. Marriage Story
2. Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood
3. 1917
4. The Irishman
5. Joker
6. Ford v Ferrari
(I also didn’t vote last year, as I didn’t see The Favourite in time. My mom did, though.)
The interesting thing about this is that there is now a six-year streak going of the likely runner-up for Best Picture at the Oscars finishing either runner-up or, in one case, tied for second place, in this simulation (as Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri was eliminated in third place only after a tie with Call Me By Your Name). The beginning of this streak coincides with when I started holding these at both Awards Daily and the now defunct IMDb Message Boards. (The first two years I only did it on IMDb.) So, perhaps, with everybody’s help, we can once more get a not insignificant clue about which of the contenders will NOT win Best Picture…
The history:
2011 The Social Network —– details not saved (second place was Black Swan, I believe)
2012 – not held –
2013 Zero Dark Thirty ——— 37-24 over Silver Linings Playbook
2014 Her ————————– 33-33 tied with Gravity, won 19-18 on total first place votes
2015 Birdman ——————– 62-61 over Boyhood
2016 Mad Max: Fury Road — 51-37 over The Revenant
2017 Moonlight —————— 41-32 over La La Land
2018 Phantom Thread ——— 39-33 over Call Me By Your Name
2019 The Favourite ————- 45-30 over Roma
I will more than likely both tally the votes and announce the results on Monday.
Newest soft drink; Klaus Kool-Aid.. I curse Netflix to the bowels of hell.
Get a life man
We live in a forked up world when Klaus… KLAUS! – has a 4-1 lead so far on Frozen II. F2 was the victim of a horsesh-t anti-Disney protest vote.
“Frozen 2” is completely unmemorable and got the recognition it deserves.
In your dreams. The Annies went full Indie Spirits and you know it. Choosing movies nobody has even seen outside of the Southland. Worst Annies ever.
But this is voted by a structure similar to the one you wanted for the Oscars. One bigger film wins and one smaller film wins
Only smaller films won big; it was a hilariously ill-advised adventure into Indie Spirits territory. It will take them a few years to live this down. Herd mentality at work here.
no. It is rewarding ORIGINAL vs SEQUEL
It seems like you hate anything that’s international. First you get on Parasite, now Klaus? You a racist or something? Do you hate diversity?
So much for the industry hates Netflix storyline. Not in animation, they don’t. They won 19 of the 36 categories last night.
This is interesting. I think it benefits Toy Story 4 at the Oscars. Missing link and I Lost My Body were the main competitiors, and now Klaus will split more votes from them. While Frozen II not nominated at all, so Toy Story 4 votes will not be splitted.
not sure about that… this really puts Klaus in the map, and, again… Sergio Pablos is a respected name in the business (Gru/Minions), so I think Toy Story 4 and Dragon 3 may be facing the handicap of being sequels, so Missing Link appeals to Laika dueness (but the reviews were not stellar), I lost my body appeals to the more arthouse voters, and Klaus seems like the original film with nostalgia factor that can appeal to everyone… is Animated a preferential ballot or it is a direct vote? Because if it is preferential, Klaus has a huge shot
For the final vote only BP is preferential.
