Are the Oscars going to take animated films more seriously?

Animation is not a genre.

Key Points: 
  • Animation is not a genre.
  • As one of the most acclaimed modern auteurs – and one who has announced his intention to stick with animation as his preferred medium – his acceptance speech reads like a plea directly to the academy.

Animated films at the Oscars

    • By including animated films as a standalone category, the Oscars ended up segregating them: animation was treated as its own thing.
    • Beauty and the Beast broke ground as the first-ever animated nominee for the Best Picture Oscar in 1992, but only two films have achieved such a feat since.
    • If animated films have had difficulty breaking into the Oscars’ vision of a Best Picture, then voice talent has been outright bypassed for consideration in acting categories.
    • Yet without the physical body to observe, the Oscars have ignored voice work in animated films.

Are things changing?

    • This then hopefully attracts more audience eyeballs to an Oscars telecast where they are likely to have actually seen some of the nominees.
    • Thematically, it reflects on the artistic value of the superhero genre, unpacking the Spider-Man lore across its many iterations.
    • Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is the kind of popular cinema that the academy is currently primed to take more seriously.
    • But it is still well-positioned to break through the confines of the Best Animated Feature category.
