Oscars 2014: Calling bullshit on Frozen

      "Get a Horse" didn't win for Best Animated Short, but Frozen takes Best Animated Feature? 

      The Academy is nuts. Frozen was one of the most cynical and charmless enterprises to come out of Disney for a long time—even my kid agrees, and she likes everything—but somehow it was awarded over Miyazaki's The Wind Rises and the wonderful Ernest & Celestine?

      Bullshit!

      I understand we are all entitled to our own opinion. What's disappointing is when I see people treating as a the One True Way and using strong language against anyone who disagrees.

      Internet trolling at its best. Wasn't expecting that here.

      Gravity? The Academy must not have even watched any of the other nominated pictures! This has to be the worst year of voting ever! Talk about an over rated movie.

      These are awards by "the Acadamy". Insiders. Not critics, not knowledgible academics, not even financial experts. Why would you expect them to be anything but spurious? Its a pageant like the Miss America, not a realistic rating of talent. Sit back and enjoy the entertainment, that's all its meant to be.

      They have always been BS. You rarely see a movie win that people have seen before the awards anymore. Even then it is usually an apology like "The Departed".
