Animation isnt just a medium being ignored, its an objectively superior medium than live action. There isnt a single thing you could do in live action, that you couldnt do better with animation, it is that simple. No hate on any of the talented actors working on live action (or stage, for that matter) productions by the way, but anything you can act, you can animate, and animation will always allow for a more expressive, more creative portrayal of your story because it isnt bound by reality the way real actors are.

The Oscars talking shit about animation, saying how kids love it and adults suffer through it, has got to be the BIGGEST middle finger to the animation industry and community. Animation is a medium filled with powerful storytelling and artistically amazing visuals made through hard work. Many of our most beloved movies of all time are animated from How To Train Your Dragon to Into The Spider-Verse. Yes, kids can find these films enjoyable but so can adults too. Animation is for everyone and anyone and no one should miss out on it. #AnimationIsForEveryone

[@virginiasultana3654]

Exactly! I'm working on a book at the moment about a girl who's missing a few fingers (my own disability) and I have already decided that if it becomes a movie, I want it to be animated. My hand is very unique and I don't want anyone using green screens and 'magic' to hide an actor's hand from the final CGI product. Animation is easier and you can make everything yourself. You don't have to rely on finding actors -- disabled or not -- who don't have the same disability. Sorry if it sounds like I'm on my high horse rn, I just don't want to see disabilities butchered by live-action. Also there are hardly any movies or stories -- animated or otherwise -- that involve disabled characters as a main. (Hiccup counts, Nemo and Dory count, Elina from Fairytopia does not because she gets WINGS at the end, I don't count Toph and Amaya either because they're supporting characters (even though they're amazing (don't @ me)) I am so glad Harry Potter and Encanto kept the glasses, and Fullmetal Alchemist is amazing for that. I haven't seen many other shows or movies with/about disabled characters. Animation is the perfect medium for disability to shine because you don't need to have actors pretend to be disabled when they're not, and some disabilities are too specific to find the right actor for.

Even as someone who usually prefers sub over dub when it comes to anime (because it’s the original, it helps me learn Japanese, and I prefer reading to hearing), I absolutely DEPISE it when people hate on the entirety of voice actors on anime dubs (and by extension, every VA in the English voice acting industry) no matter how good or bad of a person they really are, to the point of sending them death threats. Like, they’re just reading from a script? That’s all voice actors do, if you hate English dubs then don’t attack the voice actors involved, they do nothing but speak, grunt, and talk for their jobs, and they need to get paid, too. Putting anime out of the discussion, yes, as someone who wants to be a VA, it’s really disrespectful how the Oscars don’t have a voice acting award! While I hate the Game Awards too, at least they have some respect and honor for VAs. That is one of the few things that put them slightly above the Oscars for me, although they are bad too.

It's a huge shame that Disney as a corporation is so despicable that it leaves a smudge on a lot of their best recent movies, Encanto being a prime example. The creators of many of Disney's movies genuinely put a lot of care and effort into what they create, but still have to face being chained to their corporation, and victories that they deserve feel bittersweet at best because we know the corporate executives j**k off to those wins at the same time and don't truly care about the effort put into it. And with the Academy shamelessly shitting on animation the way they do and Disney not saying anything about it, it's clear that they just mooch off the money and fame of it all while the creators suffer the ridicule and poor treatment. At least we can all agree it's better that Encanto won rather than Raya and the Last Dragon. Like, can you freaking IMAGINE how that would've gone down? (P.S. Even though it didn't win, can we appreciate Sebastian Yatra's live performance of Dos Oruguitas?

Just want to point out that Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, an R-rated anime film, became the highest grossing film in 2020, beating the Christopher Nolan blockbuster Tenet. This makes it the first foreign animation to beat Hollywood at the box office, without massive marketing or big name celebrities attached to it, and it wasn’t even out in America until 2021. Granted, this happened during the height of the pandemic, but this just shows that you don’t need an award to get recognition and that the Academy is completely out of touch thinking that animation is for kids.

[@thuranz2773]

To be fair, Demon Slayer is considered an all ages series in Japan (though the second season being set in Yoshiwara did upset some of the few parents who hadn't been following the series themselves). They've even done McDonalds Happy Meals for it. That being said, the Academy is very much out of touch.

[@furiouslydashing290]

The western world needs to realize the potential of animation as method to tell stories. People are starting to wake up to that; mostly younger generations. Mugen Train’s success on top of Arcane being the top rated show and third highest-in-demand on Netflix in 2021… they’re stupid if they think it’s just “for kids.” Also, why are so many American adult animated shows competing for most disgusting art style?

Honestly, what determines "being made for kids" is a bit in flux right now. For so long, we've patronized our kids by assuming they're stupid and deciding that shows or movies that talk about serious subjects are "not for kids." Look, I'm all for saying that animation is a medium not just relegated to kids entertainment, but we also need to be careful about saying certain films are or are not for kids. Avatar and Prince of Egypt tackle serious subjects, but they do so in a way that is respectful of how kids think and process information. It opens the door to more serious conversations we should be having with our kids and does so in a visual medium to help begin understanding what these ideas mean. However, most parents don't want to have conversations with their kids at all, so, here we are. Animation is a medium we should be recognizing more for kids and adults. But more importantly, we need to see kids as capable of learning so much so that we can continue using media to make our messages to kids and adults more significant.

It's more for political value than anything. Even the movie "A Silent Voice" an anime movie got passed over for "Boss Baby" is when they lost my respect.

[@zepic3895]

Either that or it is because the Oscars are partially funded by Disney itself

[@emoji3266]

Oscars in a nutshell: eh we didn’t watch any of them. Let’s give it to Disney

[@thomasffrench3639]

Why do you expect Hollywood people to watch anime? I even find this ridiculous

[@jdawson7877]

if those 3 women shitting on animation wasn't proof enough that they don't watch the movies they nominate then i don't know what is.

[@masterseal0418]

They didn't let an anime film which treats mental health issues with respect win, but an unintentionally horrifying animated film surrounding infants. WTF?!

[@rycloud_1]

Would love to see a general boycott of the Oscars from what the Oscars considers "pointless" talent. Like they give out the award for best animated feature or best costume design and just nobody comes up to claim it. And as the night goes on there is just a pile of unclaimed Oscars in the corner of the stage, stagnating like the trash it is.

[@temp1326]

1:18 just to show some appreciation: massive shoutout to Goop and any other editors out there, you guys are such an essential part for any media, be it simple YT vids or big movies. Good editing can make equally as much of a difference as the actors performances and that should be recognised.

I have began editing recently and it really is kind of stressful and difficult at times.I now have major respect for editors.

[@bananerbug165]

I can’t believe you forgot to talk about how bullshit it was that they nominated Raya And The Last Dragon as icing on the cake considering how pissed you were talking about it in your analysis video

[@LordLucario12]

If any other company made Raya it would t be anywhere close to a nomination but because it was Disney it just HAD to be nominated

[@alejandrovelez6358]

Yeah I can’t believe movie like Raya And The Annoying Dragon even got nominated with its horrible trust message. What a bad movie with the worst moral ever done in a Disney movie :/ I’m glad that it didn’t win, Encanto was the better win, even though Michelles Vs The Machines honestly deserved to win regardless.

[@anonymousanimationcritic9842]

That was embarrassing. Raya and the Last Dragon instead of Belle or Cryptozoo or The Summit of the Gods? What a joke.

[@emoji3266]

Mitchells vs the machines is basically what the Emoji movie could have been.

[@benjisaac]

people were saying it deserved to win over the other nominees too like what

[@eatatjoes6751]

The fact that Lightyear doesn't even look good in comparison because it's basically an ad for a franchise that should have died after the third one and lived on as short films makes them cutting off the speech even worse. Also, this is why I support BAA and the Annies now.

[@glenwarne7518]

Annies are worse tbh they nominated Frozen 2 and Sing 2 but didn't nominate I lost my body or Flee

[@PhantomLola12]

As a full-time video editor who works in the industry, it really baffles me how people don't understand how crucial the edit of a film is. Bohemian Rhapsody winning for best editing was a slap in the face, and them cutting out the award for Best Editor this year was a knife in the gut. Also, don't get me started on how the Disney princess actresses presented animation as a kids only medium. I'm still livid.

[@MiergoUT]

I used to laugh *at* the Oscar's. Now I feel like I can't even do that anymore. Its just so depressingly agonizing to watch it past this point.

[@Commzard]

I remember when watching the oscars screaming “NOOOO!!!” On the top of my lungs just because The Mitchell’s vs the Machines lost against Encanto and them praising Hispanic diversity. As a Hispanic myself and cinephile who thinks the film is good, The Mitchell’s vs the machines deserved the award

[@ayrtonjoga]

"Mitchell's vs the Machines won against Encanto" "The Mitchell's vs the machines deserved the award" Which one actually won?? I'm confused

The 2 things I cared about from the Oscar’s goes as follows: 1) Ariana debose winning for her role in Anita in “West Side Story” decades after Rita Moreno. Super happy about that 2) The first deaf man to win a Oscar: Troy Kotsur for the movie “Coda” Other than that I didn’t watch it. The whole will slapping Chris situation was funny asf to me joke or not but idk we’ll see how this plays out

[@becuaseimbored3481]

The whole "animation is just for kids" shit makes me wish Ralph Bakshi still made movies.

[@brianlevine871]

I also cringed at that 'kid genre' remark made towards animation. Having the actresses for some of the live-action remake princesses make that statement made it even worse. On the bright side, I loved your speech at the end about the worthy winners. It was heartfelt and inspiring.

[@halion4487]

The amy Schumer joke is genuinely the most tone deaf I’ve ever seen a comedian be. Sure, jokes can be made about tragedies. But thinking it would be a good idea to tell that joke in front of the leaders in the industry, to people who would have known and worked with that woman is utter idiocy. It would be less of a PR disaster to get Ricky Gervais back on

[@Kelly_C]

did you see regina hall's "sexual assault is funny when it happens to men" gag??? now THAT'S tone-deaf

[@halion4487]

@@Kelly_C I agree that it’s tone deaf, but that’s a poor joke in any situation. What’s so sickening about Schumer’s potential joke is that it’s just about the one place that the joke will cause massive psychological distress to people who knew her in the audience . It shows her incompetence as a comic and heartlessness as a person

[@pajamapantsjack5874]

The hatred I feel for the Oscars and Hollywood as a whole really just keeps growing. All the awards should be equal and the fact that they view some as lesser shows how disconnected Hollywood is not just from reality, but from the very people who make movies possible.

[@Frogcoven]

Fun fact: The We Don’t Talk About Bruno Oscar performance was so bad and horrendous, that even Dolores’s voice actress Adassa agreed. She retweeted tweets on Twitter about how bad the performance was the day after the Oscars. That’s how you know they truly fucked up the song when one of the goddamn performers agrees.

[@TheSchaef47]

8:23 I agree with this but it was painful watching James Horner wait that long to get recognized for his scores, and in the end they gave it to him for Titanic, which is perfectly fine in it's own right, but compared to stuff like Glory, Braveheart, Willow, or either of his Star Trek movies, is almost a travesty. At least Michael Giacchino has an Oscar buried somewhere along all the Annie's he's won over the years, and it came in his first decade in movies.
