you do realize boxtrolls is stop motion

laika is basically one of the best studios for stop motion. say what you want about it as a movie, but don't talk shit about their animation
i'll talk shit about it all i like thanks
 
do you really think the animation is that bad or do you just not like the dirty, grimy look
 
also supermariofan aren't you missing a few categories for your oscar predictions

it's probably one of the more terrible instances of stop motion animation I've seen. Most of the time, people just say "oh stop motion is the best, it should win all them awardses and stuffs", only because the animators took a lot of time animating it. That shouldn't be what wins the awards. If you're watching animation, you have to be able to actually sit through it without getting some sort of motion sickness, which basically means the smoother the animation, the better the experience. Wallace and Grommit did stop motion animation right with the Curse of the Were Rabbit. It was so damn smooth, you could barely tell it was stop motion animation. That, in my opinion, is worthy of an Oscar. This is not.

tl;dr: Just because it's stop motion, does not mean it's good or even worthy of an award.
 
i'm not saying boxtrolls should win the award at all. it's a pretty big step down from paranorman as a movie. but the boxtrolls' animation just... isn't choppy. it's not. i watched the whole movie with no kind of motion sickness, i really have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

i'm glad that grand budapest hotel won all those oscars, it was in my opinion the best film of 2014

i seriously think that httyd2 should have won best animated though, kind of annoyed about that.

Have you seen The Theory of Everything? Eddie Redmayne pulled off Stephen Hawking so incredibly well

maybe but i doubt that he is as awesome
He made me cry once, also they probably gave it to him because they saw Jupiter Ascending

spot the ireland bias in this statement
 
eddie redmayne is a good actor but it's a shame his character had no actual character arc
