Anime Films Fight for Oscar Nods
According to Reuters/Hollywood Reporter, there are three nominations available for the 2008 Oscars Best Animated Feature Category, and fourteen films trying to snag them. Two of the films are anime: Mamoru Oshii’s The Sky Crawlers and Sword of the Stranger. No anime has won an Oscar since Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away, so let’s keep our fingers crossed!
I actually haven’t seen either of the films, but they both look great; I’ll watch anything by Oshii and Sword of the Stranger looks good and violent. Both have been licensed, so we’ll get to see them eventually. I think it’s about time the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences started paying more attention to anime, though it’s understandable they want to focus on American movies.
