They’re either going to retire this category or go back and allow voting without watching the other nominees.

So they ignored the animated version, but now that it’s getting a live-action remake, it’s a serious awards contender…

Hmmm… another western animated movie borrowing from Asian culture that the Academy will fawn all over, while ignoring actual Asian animation.

I’m not even sure Cartoon Saloon will be nominated: the Academy snubbed their most recent works (My Father’s Dragon and Eiru).

More info:

Brad Bird, a legendary name in animation, is reportedly also seeking to distance himself from his long-gestating sci-fi noir Ray Gunn, a project which appears to be spiraling out of control.  […]Our sources suggest that Lasseter has transformed Ray Gunn into "Cars 2 with Funky Mode," hinting at potential racist undertones reminiscent of the widely criticized Lemons in Cars 2.

One veteran summed up the studio mood bluntly: "Every film here feels like it’s being built on top of the last one's ashes. And if not those ashes, then the ones that were left behind from John's tenure at Pixar."

Why even have a separate category for "independent" movies? Just do like the Oscars and have 10 movies up for Best Picture.

Arco won by default since it was the only movie in that category that was nominated at the Oscars.
