Is the #Shelter a hive?

Yes, of course, you can edit an animated film. #ACEEddie Award nominees: cartooncontender.com/news-and-rev...

This year's animated nominees at #BAFTA. And yes, there's a reason why KPop Demon Hunters isn't among the lineup. cartooncontender.com/news-and-rev...

My analysis of how Pixar's #Elio went from box office bomb to Best Animated Feature #Oscar nominee. And no, I don't think it was just bloc voting. cartooncontender.com/news-and-rev...

Between #TurningRed and #Elio, Domee Shi is the most-nominated female director in Best Animated Feature. Vicky Jenson and Nora Twomey co-directed multiple Oscar nominees, but they didn’t get to share in all of the nominations.

Many still feel Amanda Seyfried should've gotten a Best Actress nomination for #TheTestamentofAnnLee. They aren't wrong. My review: www.flickreel.com/the-testamen...

The costume branch preferred Spider’s loincloth to Elphaba’s sex cardigan.

It's bizarre to think that Universal entirely banked on #WickedForGood being their #Oscar player this year, and in the end, #JurassicWorldRebirth got them more nominations.

To think, if there were still two sound categories, #Sinners could've gotten 17 #Oscar nominations.

Breaking down this year's nominees for Best Animated Feature and Best Animated Short, as well as my general thoughts on the #Oscar nominations! cartooncontender.com/news-and-rev... #AcademyAward #Animation

Dang, I predicted Grande’s omission in Best Supporting Actress, but even on its worst day, I thought #WickedForGood would get one #Oscar nomination. AMPAS really figured, you got ten last year. You’re good.

Me waking up to watch the #Oscar nominations, second-guessing all of my predictions.

In #MercyMovie, Chris Pratt collects the easiest paycheck since Ice Cube literally phoned it in with last year’s War of the Worlds. Okay, Mercy is a better film than that disasterpiece. So are 99.9% of the movies released in the past century. My review: www.flickreel.com/mercy-review/

This headline would've been a lot catchier if #SnowWhite had gotten one more #Razzie nomination. Speaking of which, where's Gal Gadot? cartooncontender.com/news-and-rev... #Razzies

RIP Roger Allers (1949-2026), the co-director of “The Lion King” and “Open Season,” as well as the director of 2014’s “The Prophet” and the Oscar-nominated short, “The Little Matchgirl.” When I interviewed Roger in March 2024, he mentioned that he was working on a new stage musical...

I’m genuinely curious if Ariana Grande will miss in Best Supporting Actress, but she gets nominated for Best Actress instead?

Wrote this nine months ago when there were first whispers of Kathleen Kennedy leaving Lucasfilm. I think it warrants revisiting now. youtu.be/YUMyvnwtx2I?... @wmojo.bsky.social

#DeadMansWire belongs to Bill Skarsgård, who carries the film with one of his most charismatic performances. My Review: www.flickreel.com/dead-mans-wi...

The #Dilbert cartoon intro didn’t have to go this hard. Yet, it did, and won an Emmy. youtu.be/7k93Wb3yb3M?...

Over a decade later, people still give the #GoldenGlobes grief for recognizing “The Martian” as a comedy. In all honesty, though, is it any less funny than “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” “American Hustle,” “The Artist,” or other winners that blended genres? Even “Hope and Glory” won here!

#AvatarFireAndAsh naturally led the Visual Effects Society (VES) Awards nominations, although the fact that #TheLostBus got four bids suggests that it could be a surprise Oscar nominee. cartooncontender.com/news-and-rev...

While time will only tell how the #28YearsLater films will play as a whole, #TheBoneTemple is thematically absorbing, impeccably crafted, and full of surprises. My review: www.flickreel.com/28-years-lat...

#28YearsLater might not have been the sequel people expected, but I respected that. I also respect #TheBoneTemple, which is more experimental, unpredictable, and thematically interesting.

Not a lot of #Netflix actors thanked #TedSarandos tonight, which is weird because I thought their contracts required them to. #GoldenGlobes

#KPopDemonHunters was #Golden at the #GoldenGlobes! cartooncontender.com/news-and-rev...

#Golden from #KPopDemonHunters has won the #GoldenGlobe for Best Original Song. It's the first tune from an animated film to win since "Song of the Heart" from Happy Feet. The last song from an animated film to win a Globe and the Oscar was "You'll Be in My Heart" from Tarzan.
