I'm not really surprise about Encanto winning the Oscar over The Mitchells Vs. The Machines, but it REALLY hurts! i underestimated Disney and the impact of Encanto and how they handled it.
But, hey! at least Raya didn't win.

@DocDiegO it was probably gained through the nomination team not watching the movies. This is proven by how they treated the Lego Movie and others. They assume that because it’s Disney it’s good, ever since Beauty and the Beast winning the Oscar and the introduction of best animated feature after that. Disney always wins unless it was Shrek in 2001 (who’s competition was Monsters Inc or Jimmy Neutron) or Spiderverse in 2019. Of course they’re are outliers I didn’t mention but those two out of the many Disney and Pixar films that win are clear examples.
I haven’t seen Enchanto but heard it was good. While Enchanto was probably the crowd pleasing Disney pick, Mitchell’s will be the Cult Classic Snub that would be remembered as fondly as Enchanto seeing how it was animated in a way no other film in recent memory outside of Spiderverse has been, with a good story and representation not forced into the movie.
Maybe you see me like i don't know about the academy's favoritism and lack of respect to animation in general but this time i though was different with the nomination of Flee not just in the Animation category, it was nominated for best documentary film and best international film, something never seen before. but, when i saw the other nomines besides "MVM" all the hope was gone...
@DocDiegO my apologies. I just get like that when talking about a topic I’m interested in. I Should check out Flea then. It’s nomination alone makes me interested after not hearing about it.
No worries, i like to have this type of discussions.
Yeah, you should check out that one.

It’s bullshit they win every year. But expected. But hey, who cares about the Oscar’s anyway. No one, that’s who.

Believe me, i wanted The Mitchells vs. The Machines and Flee to win. and, yeah it's bullshit, the other tree were Disney and i don't know how how the fuck Raya obtained the nomination.
