I don’t want it to go to Disney/Pixar/etc. since all there films (save Coco) have the same copy and paste plot. I don’t want to the award to go to a sequel or remake. I don’t respect films that don’t push the envelope. So, I already knew I would award “I Lost My Body” the award. I just finished watching it, and I quite liked it thankfully. It’s a bit short for a feature film, but I didn’t take away from the story too much. I wasn’t really feeling it at first, but it’s a film that grows on you. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that I wasn’t watching it in the native language since Netflix automatically played the English version, so that might have taken away from it a bit. Overall, I though the idea was rather creative, though the ending could have been much better. I don’t like soft endings, and it actually made the hand feel pointless. Story wise, the pacing was good, the plot was interesting, and the film had a nice flow to it. I liked the order they presented things in, and I liked the darkness of the story since most animated films generally deal brighter themes. Overall, “I Lost My Body” scores a 7/10 (which is pretty good for an animated film, since I generally hate them all) My Ranking for Best Animated Feature Film: 1. I Lost My Body 2. Make Something Original Disney While I like animated movies more than you, the category is kinda dreadful this year. "I Lost My Body" is really the best thing here, although "Missing Link" would also be a fine winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year's selection for this category is the worst in years, I wouldn't nominate any of these songs and it's a crime that "Glasgow" from Wild Rose wasn't nominated. I would say I'm fine with Elton winning another Oscar, though. Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to listen to Glasgow, I’m going to try and get through some of the short listed material after the Oscars. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

vinipereira 3,047 Posted February 9, 2020 #809 Share Posted February 9, 2020 The Oscars are this sunday so it's finally time for my annual predictions post. While I correctly guessed most categories in the last few years, it's been quite some time that I don't predict the right Best Picture winner. Once again I'm not confident at all, but unlike last year I won't be picking the foreign film nominee, although Parasite deserves the big prize and I would be thrilled if it wins (1917 is good, but it's past time a foreign language film wins this). ["will win" is my prediction / "could win" is my alternate prediction / "should win" is my personal ranking from what I've watched / "shoud have been nominated" is a way to remember other notable work].
