  • The article doesn’t touch the most important point against the chances of an anime movie winning an Oscar: the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is very American as at least 50% of the members are American, and even more Western-centric since most of the other members are from North America or Europe. Non American movies always have an uphill battle to win an Oscar but something that is quintessentially non-western doubly so.

    Edit: and the article also forgot to mention that Miyazaki already won two Oscars. So it’s not like Japanese animation is being fully ignored.
