"But, Hayfever," you ask, "where's Mank? It got 10 nominations!"
Well, you see, I've never freaking heard of it. Hard to predict a film's successes when you don't know it even exists.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Did 'Wolfwalkers' get a nomination for Best Animated?

I haven't seen 'Soul'. I don't know if it's better or worse. All I know is I want to see Tomm Moore get recognised for how good his damn movies are, man, and 'Wolfwalkers' is as good a place to start as any, for my money.

[EDIT: He's the Irish Miyazaki, and I want to see people pour accolades and buckets of money and pie-rate treasure into his lap. Oh boy. Oh boy oh boy. I want more more Moore movies.

[CaptHayfever]

^Yes. It's Wolfwalkers, Soul, Onward, Over the Moon, & Shaun the Sheep: Farmageddon.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I know, I know, I shouldn't root for the hometown hero without I've seen the rest, but I just...really wish for this, for reasons I can't fully articulate. I wish, I wish, I wish upon a fish.

2020 was a horrible year. Sometimes you just want the dark horse to win, just oncet, just cuz.
