Are the Academy Awards rigged in Disney’s favor?

Joker and Black Panther have the most oscar nominations out of all comic films

That's all you need to know about this garbage

Basically this. Disney is the safe bet, nobody will get offended.

remember when klaus actually lost to toy story 4

Didn't one of the judges admitted that they didn't even watched most of the animated movies that he was supposed to watch for the nomination?

Well, it does brings me hope that endgame wasn't nominated for anything

Do... do you know how membership of the academy works? How the voting works? No? OK

Membership of the academy is through two routes: the most obvious, is winning an academy award. That's not exactly automatic entry to the academy, but you'll get more emails inviting you to functions with academy members, or to teach classes. It's a teaching academy! Did you know that? No? OK

The second route is through reaching a level of qualification in your chosen field of filmmaking (eg lighting or directing or writing) that results in your being nominated for membership by two existing members in the same branch that you are being considered for membership within (there are 17 branches representing 17 different areas of motion picture arts and sciences). It's then up to you to formally pursue that membership, membership is not automatic. For that route you'd be expected to be doing a lot more "giving back" to the filmmaking community - sharing your knowledge and experience, giving your time to upcoming filmmakers. Proposed members are considered in the spring by the Board of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences; there is no automatic entry. Failed candidates are not announced, and may be considered again later if they receive a further nomination.

Membership is for life unless expelled, which has happened four times, and this prevents members who have contributed in the past as working filmmakers from being expelled simply because they can't find work for reasons beyond their control, such as ill health, personal commitments like family, or events beyond their control, such as the 1950s blacklist run by union boss and failed actor Ronald Reagan prior to his political career. Seriously, look that tidbit up.

There are just shy of 10,000 members, up from just shy of 6000 in 2012. Older members tend not to vote as much (they may in some cases be incapable; membership doesn't lapse, so dementia or other incapacitations don't affect it) on Oscar nominations.

Newer members are believed to vote more often, but it's a secret ballot. There is no obligation to vote, since membership is unlikely to be withdrawn simply because a member didn't see any films they liked enough to nominate that year. Nominated movies may be anything within the appropriate category; but that depends on the member knowing the category they fit into AND on the film in question being eligible. Other than for foreign films (and other than the 2021 awards, which will for the first time and for obvious reasons permit films which streamed on premiere), a film must have been open to the public for at least 1 week within a theater in LA county in order to be eligible. It must also have been released that year (after close of voting for the previous year's nominations), for the first time. This prevents nomination bombing by big studios over old releases that they really, really want to win another award.

Your favorite film didn't make the cut? Ask yourself:

>Did it open in a theater on general release within LA county the first year that the film was released?

If the answer to that question is no for any reason, then your film was not eligible.

If the answer is yes, ask yourself:

>Was it seen by a significant number of people, either in LA county or on wide release?

If the answer is no, then your film was probably nominated, but not in enough numbers to make the shortlist, which is simply the top 5 nominees in each category.

If the answer is yes, ask yourself:

>Did the people who saw it on general release think that it was good?

That's a harder question. Often a film can be nominated on technical grounds even though it's clearly awful on non-technical grounds, like the Matrix, which won four technical awards even though it's clearly shit. But it was also popular, so a lot of people saw it, which means - since academy members are just people - that a lot of them saw it too, which means more nominations in technical categories.

I think it did with one nomination. Can't remember what though

Best Visual Effects.
Disney had half of the nominates and they still didn't win

Generally, popular cape films either get a costume, make-up or visual effects nomination.

Only for Special Effects, and didn’t win

>I didn’t see Mirai, Ralph Breaks the Internet or Incredibles 2. Isle of Dogs? I didn’t like that at all. Spider-Man was fantastic.
>My Vote: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

>Is there any doubt about what’s going to win? I swore I’d never vote for a superhero film, but how can you not vote for Spider-Man? The last time I was this excited by the creativity in an animated film was when I saw Shrek. It is a complete work of art and the other nominees aren’t even in the same hemisphere: Incredibles 2 and Ralph Breaks the Internet are the same old stuff; Isle of Dogs is what Wes Anderson has done before; and I’ve not seen the other one [Mirai].
>My Vote: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

there are no "judges" there are academy members who are just normal fucking human beings who dont want to sit and watch 50 movies they have no interest in.

>who dont want to sit and watch 50 movies they have no interest in.
It's their fucking job

no it isn't. their job is whatever they do literally every other day of the year that the oscars aren't happening.

fucking this. they should all be executed for being massive failures.

No, it's their fucking job, and its a job that a bunch of people would love to have. I don't know what to tell you, being an academy member its not a hobby

Its a vip club that serves only itself
