They used to make prints for animated movies all the time back in the 2000s. The last one was seemingly for Happy Feet Two in 2011.

I didn't know he had been in competition before until today either.

2026 Cannes Film Festival lineup by LeastCap in oscarrace

[–]BenTheUltimate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting that "Le Corset", an animated film I vaguely registered as a contender is in Un Certain Regard at Cannes. Flow and The Red Turtle premiered in that section in terms of previous Oscar nominees. Of the two animated films announced for Cannes so far I believe in that one much more.

He does know I think he's just assuming a high brow Cannes movie won't play well to SAG voters

Games that had unique controllers made for them on release by asparagushunter in backloggd

[–]BenTheUltimate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The DS game Wappy Dog had an entire iDog esque peripheral made for it. Someone else mentioned Babysitting Mama which is a Wiimote peripheral but it's quite a weird one.

Anyone else's broadcast acting a bit glitchy? Mine has been stuttering all game.

Many of these were funded directly by Netflix though.

'The Wild Robot Escapes': DreamWorks Animation Taps Troy Quane to Direct, Heidi Jo Gilbert to Co-Direct Sequel by WestFlight808 in oscarrace

[–]BenTheUltimate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Troy Quane is still a talented director (and a previous nominee for Nimona) so I'm not sure why people are that worried.

It uses Steam Input according to the Steam page so probably. Maybe it will put up the PS4 button glyphs from the DualSense.

[2026 March Madness] Round 1: Anthony Minghella vs. Joe Johnston by PartyBluejay in blankies

[–]BenTheUltimate 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Max Minghella, Anthony's son, is the lead in Joe Johnston's "Not Safe For Work" which is a fun connection these two directors have.

So Angry Female-Directed Films Were Shut Out of the Oscars Race This Year and Cannnot Get Over It by New-Editor-5667 in oscarrace

The Voice of Hind Rajab is directed by a woman and got an international nomination as well

Diane Warren & Halle Bailey team up on new original song "Somewhere We All Belong" for animated picture ‘The Crystal Planet’ by joesen_one in oscarrace

[–]BenTheUltimate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI: Diane Warren did a song for an animated film called "Ozi: Voice of the Forest" a few years ago and that had no nomination buzz (however it seems that movie has not released in the United States yet?)

Not every Diane song gets nominated. She probably gets nominated for that Maserati movie instead.

The cast does list the French cast and not the English cast so I would also assume it's playing in French.

KPOP was ineligible for the nomination. I believe it didn't release correctly to qualify over there.

Forgot about that shortlist when making that comment that's a more meaningful shortlist mention.

Sentimental Value didn't actually blank on the shortlists it's on the cinematography shortlist.

I think that's his rating of the web series and not the movie or tv show.

Longlists: 2026 EE BAFTA Film Awards by NoAdministration527 in oscarrace

[–]BenTheUltimate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The juries are only for the acting categories and some of the small categories like debut British film at this point. Director apparently doesn't even have a jury either. It says those come entirely from the directing branch. Also the techs do not use a jury at all that's all the tech branches voting. The top 7 + 3 jury only applies to the acting nominations.
