Or the obsession with movies geared towards kids needing to be award winning masterpieces.
I get what you mean, but you know what else is funny right? The Orcars continue to snub every piece of animation that isn't some garbage ass Pixar copy paste. The "best animation" award is perpetually locked into being a "best Dysney movie of the year" award and that isn't changing anytime soon.
Literaly the only anime movie people know about is either Pokemon or Miyazaki. Nobody in the west will ever consider giving an award to something that literally isn't something childish Disney 3D copy paste.
"Your Name" became the biggest mainstream hit of the decade and not even a nomination.
The fact Don Hertzfeldt hasn’t ever won even when nominated is a crime.
Preach it, comrade. Don Hertzfeldt is one of the most talented living film makers, hands down. The fact that no part of It's Such a Beautiful Day won (and only the first was even nominated) is evidence that the whole contest is bullshit.
I like to show "Meaning of Life" in my intro to philosophy class. There's always one student who says something like "that didn't make any sense! It was just weird and pointless" and it's perfect.
honestly im okay with that cause i dont want the rest of the world's animation to be more sucked into the vortex of catering to americans' opinions on what is or isnt good animation

The Oscar animation category is also just hell.

Ayup. Also world of tomorrow part 1 was nominated, also didn't win.
Meaning of life is one of the most sublime short films ever.

“Your name” is actually good. I’d even recommend it to people who don’t like anime, it’s just a genuinely touching story.
Yeah Your Name is just a really good movie if you like movies that will make you cry
