Cartoon Freak, i'm really curious what you'll think of Kaguya. For me, its easily one of the best animated movies of 14. It deserves an Oscar more than any other nominee in my opinion. So my hopes are for Kaguya and HTTYD 2. I don't want disney to win an Oscar with an another ordinary film.. but i guess Big Hero 6 is the favourite now.

Or who knows? Maybe Boxtrolls will win.
I am certainly interested in seeing Princess Kaguya (hey, it's Studio Ghibli; while they may not be quite my thing, there's no denying the quality of their work), but I'm not able to find any evidence of either a DVD or major theatrical release for it in Australia.

Honestly, if I had to go with a favourite based purely on a studio's inherent credibility, then it would definitely be Princess Koguya. Only Pixar even comes close when it comes to the goodwill of the Academy (whether or not this is deserved is best left for another topic), and Monsters University's lack of a nomination last year shows that such goodwill is definitely less than it was. As things stand, I try to limit predictions towards what I've seen or at least have a good idea about.
