This morning the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the Oscar nominees for the 87th annual Academy Awards.: Animated Feature and Animated Short Film
The Academy always throws in a few surprises, and this year had some of the biggest in recent memory for the animation categories. The biggest headscratcher of all: The LEGO Movie, the best reviewed major American animation release of last year not to mention the highest-grossing domestically, wasn’t even nominated. Many had predicted that the film would win the whole category so it’s lack of a nomination is particularly surprising, but perhaps Academy members felt that the pop culture and toy-oriented nature of the film didn’t reflect the organization’s efforts to honor Art with a capital A>
The other surprise animated came in the animated short category: Glen Keane’s directorial debut, which while not necessarily a great film was a great piece of animation, and expected by many to be a nominee.
Congratulations to all the nominees!
