Why "The Wind Rises" nominated for best foreign language and not best animated?

(1/3) > >>

prokaryote:
The oscar nominees came out...  Why would The Wind Rises be nominated for Best Foreign Language film, and not Best Animated or both?  I mean if your going to nominate it for Best Foreign Language, that probably means it deserves a nomination for Best Animated.

Mistgun_Zero:
Probably because it's not the best animated film? For the best animated film, the quality of animation also matters. And as you can see, it's not really the best animated film out there and there are are much better ones out there.

buchno:
nvm, mixed the two up

I was under the impression Bob was referring to Kaguya-hime Monogatari.

I just realized something:


--- Quote ---The Wind Rises (風立ちぬ Kaze Tachinu?) is a 2013 Japanese animated historical fantasy film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, and adapted from his own manga of the same name which was loosely based on the short story The Wind Has Risen by Tatsuo Hori, a writer, poet and translator from mid-20th century (Showa period) Japan.[2] Kaze Tachinu is a fictionalised biography of Jiro Horikoshi, designer of the Mitsubishi A5M (featured in the movie) and its famous successor, the Mitsubishi A6M Zero. Both aircraft were used by the Empire of Japan during World War II.

Jiro Horikoshi designed the planes that would later kill many thousands of Americans at Pearl Harbor.  Doesn't that technically mean this movie is glorifying a war criminal?
