87th Academy Awards

87th Academy Awards 


Broadcast Date: February 2015 - Australia


Greetings, film enthusiasts and critics
everywhere, once again, the official
nominees for the 2015 Academy
Awards have just been announced.
The ceremony's host will be famed
movie and television actor and four-

time Emmy Award winner Neil

Patrick Harris.

I wasn't disappointed that The Lego Movie got left out of the Best Animated Feature award ballot. Most moviegoers are displeased with this exclusion. The Oscar adjudicators thought that the feature wasn't fully animated enough to be received that award.

Also, the more coming surprise happened in the best-animated category is Big Hero 6. I have heard all the great things about the movie, and it occurred to me unexpectedly that I didn't get to watch it. I have felt so hard on not watching a full-length animation made by Disney since I largely ignored and didn't see Frozen, and most of the blokes that don't like Disney princesses would soon find it overrated. Naturally, if Big Hero 6 wins an Oscar, it will mark the second time for the Disney animation studio since Frozen.
