Just look at every winner - ever Disney-esque winner had large critical backing - Shrek, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Wallace and Gromitt: Curse of the Were-Rabbitt, and Happy Feet. They went with Spirited Away in 2002, when it was the only animated film with a large critical following. So compared to other categories, I think they've done their job pretty well. The question is Persepolis (assuming in continues to get the type of reviews its been getting) is whether or not they will go for something offbeat when they have an equally praised Disney film to choose from (in Ratatouille).<BR/><BR/>- AdamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-75966250268970888102007-09-26T09:39:00.000-04:002007-09-26T09:39:00.000-04:00Run Lola Run and Infernal Affairs are themselves "...Run Lola Run and Infernal Affairs are themselves "ripoffs" or recreations of something else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-73370293761556665512007-09-26T06:31:00.000-04:002007-09-26T06:31:00.000-04:00adam the princess mononoke was submitted... tripl...<B>adam</B> the <I>princess mononoke </I> was submitted... <I>triplets</I> and <I>spirited away</I> were not.<BR/><BR/>i'm still not really sure about Persepolis in either category.

That doesn't seem to happen, ever. <EM>Triplets of Belleville</EM> was not nommed for foreign in its year, nor were any of Miyazaki's animé films. But they probably weren't selected by their countries, either.<BR/><BR/>Still, it'd be weird if that happened. I suppose if it did, <EM>Persepolis</EM> would be more likely to win one (i.e. foreign film, since animated is locked up).adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.com
