How did this get nominated. If they wanted something less people had heard of they should have went with Mary & Max (which is great), but I shouldn't judge because I have not seen The Secret of Kells
It's a fantastically animated film. It deserved the nomination. The story is a little ruched especially at the end but overall, im glad it got nominated.
"how did this get nominated" -- animators and animation enthusiasts on the Academy Animation Committee who saw the film felt it was deserving of the nomination--and more so than the films that did not get in. There is no other way to do it. It certainly wasn't the result of studio politics or a massive ad buy, becasue the film is not supported by or connected to any major distributor.
Who would you like to see be the main villain in the next Batman film?
