Oscars is shit and I ignore it every year unless an actor/director I'm a fan of gets something or some big thing happens the news won't shut up about (thanks, Will Smith). It's so unfunny, and a lot of the awards, especially for animation, they give out are complete bullshit. Animation is NOT just for kids, and everyone except these out-of-touch celebrities know that. It's growing more and more irrelevant, and while it is and should be a momentous occasion to get an Oscar, if it means no more bad skits with unfunny comedians, straight up sexual harassment, actual assault, and more, I'm all for it being cancelled permanently.
But good on you for not referencing the Will Smith slap. I'm sick of hearing about it, we all know what happened and who was in the wrong. I'm just glad Samuel L. Jackson got an Oscar, finally.
disrespecting editors and voice actors who don’t actually appear in public often in favour for obnoxious and unfunny live actors is just so painfully numbing
Schaff: "The Academy only gives out awards to whoever campaigns the hardest!" Also Schaff: "[INSERT FEMALE] should win because we haven't had a female winner in years!"
How about we just pick the best ones as the winner, both of ya?
The hatred I feel for the Oscars and Hollywood as a whole really just keeps growing. All the awards should be equal and the fact that they view some as lesser shows how disconnected Hollywood is not just from reality, but from the very people who make movies possible.
I can't believe that I heard about the slap but not that equally appalling Regina Hall skit. NOT OKAY!!! Sexual harassment doesn't stop being a thing just because it's done by a woman to a man!!! Yeesh!!!! I'm so sad more people aren't speaking up for them! Thanks for calling her out!!!!
My respects for actually talking about the winners and what the academy did good this year instead of “the slap heard around the world”. Great video Schaff.
I don’t think anyone should be this mad about the Oscar’s, they’re just a fashion show with million dollar advertisements. And to the editor, why would you even want recognition from the Oscar’s if you hate them so much. They probably have it better than the actors. They get the money but not the fans following them everywhere.
The "we don't talk about bruno" performance made me so upset especially because they made it seem like the cast was gonna perform the whole song and it was completely changed it and only had the first half of the song and cut it off the rest especially the best parts of the song and it didn't even have the whole cast in the performance and replaced it with rap instead. they completely ruined a song that was already perfect on it's own and it doesn't need to be changed to some lame oscars remix version. They did the cast and the fans dirty.
While quite alot of animation can be said that it's for kids, that doesn't mean all of Animation is. Hell, there's quite a ton of 'kids' shows that are still really enjoyable even for adults, not because it's 'childish' but because they're great goddamn shows. Take Gravity falls for example, there's alot of charm and jokes kids won't understand. on the flip side, take Demon slayer, Now that definitely isn't a kids animation. (the manga too, most likely.)
but more importantly, who cares if it's "for kids" if it's good goddamn stuff, people will watch that good goddamn stuff. although there's still definitely a few shows that can be classified as "his mistake"…
I love how they tried pushing the medium of animation is “only for kids.” When Encanto (which was up for an Oscar), doesn’t even try to hide the fact that it’s generational trauma and how it effected adults. Just wow
I remember watching these as a child and spending 15 minutes trying to go through it before switching the channel. Those acceptance speeches went on for so long.
as someone in tech theater, lack of recognition for bts people isn’t just a hollywood problem. i’m pretty sure it’s at every level, which is kind of disheartening
disrespecting editors and voice actors who don’t actually appear in public often in favour for obnoxious and unfunny live actors is just so painfully numbing
Animated movies ARE for kids. I love Animation… but to be fair… in terms of feature-length western movies there has simply NOT been a booming environment of mature content. Yes daring artists sometimes try to make mature animated films, but do these movies resonate with anyone outside of the intense artistic community? No, they don't. You can go ahead and name more cool dark animated movies that I've never heard of, but that's not helping your case that western animated film isn't predominantly family / kid content. It's true even when it comes to western TV, people like to point at adult cartoons, often forgetting that the reason why most adult tv shows cartoons is to parody kids content and family content for comedic effect. That's why so much of it is comedic family sitcom with edgy twists. Even mature animation is often only animation to mock family content.
The Japanese animation world has broken from this mold, and if an Oscar's for Japanese media considered anime "for kids" I would be surprised. But when looking at western animated film, look at a list of box office for animated films and exclude anime, look how far you have to scroll to find anything outside of G-PG ratings. Can PG movies still have deep artistic messages that resonate with adults? Well, yes of course, though typically these messages are simplified, and it's not even true for the majority of big hitter 3D animation. Look at the top sellers of the last couple years, Boss Baby 2? Hotel Transylvania 2? The Adams Family 2? Raya and the Last Dragon? PAW Patrol the Movie? Even movies like Encanto that have an impactful albeit simplified message are the minority in the big hitter animated movies.
Would I like to live in a world where western media treated animation like an artistic medium on par with live-action film? Yes. Do we live in that world? No. 3D western animated movies are either for kids or they flop financially, end of story. Oscars is NOT wrong when they say animated movies are for kids. They are.
The fact that the animated feature category was introduced by three of the LIVE ACTION princesses makes that ridiculous introduction even more enraging. I’m so glad that a lot of people are on the same page about the Oscars absolutely being disrespectful to the animation category, though. There are actually people who think that animated media is for children and I literally can’t STAND it lmfao they really try to make you feel bad for liking cartoons 💀
They basically call animation unworthy of the oscars while movies like into the spider verse and other animated features blow most other films out of the water. Unbelievable
i agreed with most of what you were saying but what irked me is how exactly does megan thee stallion performing a rap verse with the cast a disrespect to the cast and movie the way you said it seemed very micro aggressive to me like rap is something to look down upon it really took me aback as a black subscriber who really enjoys your content
When Schaff talked about the omission of best editing, it made my blood boil more than I could have possibly imagine (that and music, like wow really doing Hanz Zimmer like that), these cornerstones of film being absolutely snubbed from the awards show is actually black magic frickery, and it hits home to because when I have to boot up Adobe Premiere and put a school video together in a night, I can only begin to imagine how much time and effort is spent by the guys behind the scenes taking hundreds of assets and not only putting them together so that they seem cohesive, but matching them up in such a visually pleasing way that speaks to the soul and is absolutely deserving of recognition, and hearing editing getting snubbed reminds me of the experience me and another fellow student go through as people really don't take editing seriously enough. I remember working on a comedic history project one of my team members demeaned the role of editing in the process, and I was ready to fight him then and there (I roast him unprompted on occasion now, but whatever he's fine). Being able to relate with that other student who works on similar technical work like me, the blood sweat and tears in getting a job done right is such a stark reminder of what kind of work others with skills beyond my wildest dreams go through is something that just cannot be understated.
Always remember… society's negative views of animation is because illumination has saturated the animation market with endless hollow shallow garbage. Blame illumination.
It’s just Hollywood praising themselves and insulting the rest of America 90% of the time. When they shout out to groups who are in the minority or struggling it feels more patronizing than anything… Like ah thank you white rich lady now I feel heard 😌 I can literally smell the privilege. Plus them insulting animation was beyond low. Some people deserve to win for sure I mean there is some incredible dedication and talent. Even though I want to cheer those individuals on I don’t want to watch a show filled with egotistical rich people and sexual abusers.
You guys know award shows are bought beforehand and only serve as hours long advertisements? This is all just a dog and pony show, stop pretending it isn't.
I know this probably sounds crazy, but as a society should make our own award shows, have them be completely transparent with who is on the board, fund them through crowd funding and actually recognize the best movies of the year.
I already hate The Oscar since other category are got small Times to show. I remember every category are long due to the host for that category explain the meaning and important of that category to the movies. This is felt like more to the Talk show or stand up Comedy than The Oscars.
To be honest I enjoyed Cruella and I'm glad it received recognition in costume design instead of the same generic baroque or tudor fashion historical drama that wins every year. And Dune was awesome as well.
"Why hello, Little Timmy. What's your favorite Animated Superhero Movie of 2020 ???" [3:11] "Why it's the animated series "Invincible", duh. Filled with Blood, Gore, and Sexual Themes. Because Animation is always for kids like me"
Thank you! The Samples Choir was absolutely transcendent and wonderful during the In Memoriam sequence, BUT whomever was in charge of the camerawork and editing did not understand the assignment. "Let's honor the dead by having the actual montage of their names and images be tiny and blurry, so that everybody can watch the choir groove in the foreground. That's what this sequence is all about!"
One of those moments you talked about for me should have been wills win. He’s been a HUGE inspiration to alot of young black men since fresh Prince and to finally be recognized should have been an amazing moment at the Oscar’s and that speech could have been amazing if not for the actions he made at the show, but aye one of the only truly funny and entertaining things that’s happened off script at the Oscar’s so at least we can say that
The biggest disappointment this year is the lack of recognition for Tick Tick Boom. Andrew Garfield did such a good job for his first musical film, and I think it would’ve been a great way to honor the late Jonathan Larson
The Academy should've kept Amy Schumer's Alec Baldwin Joke. Finally we can have The Female James Corden get cancelled in every social media platform that exists and we can see another celebrity try to make another shallow apology video to try and save their reputation. But alas, it was never meant to be…
2:02 I guarantee that if The Host was anyone other than Regina Hall or anyone else that's a female actor. That person would absolutely be cancelled to all hell for even attempting to make that joke. Let alone successfully doing it in live media. But because this is woman instead of man. She gets off the bit scott free with just another cringe moment added to her belt.
I'm not gonna lie I was kinda hoping you'd have some witty take on what happened with Will Smith and Chris Rock even if it was a quick gag but I'm also impressed you went the whole video without talking about it.
i actually personally enjoyed the gospel number during the "in memoriam" segment; i thought it represented a respectful celebration of those lives rather than mourning them
Why do they hate all the people who actually make media possible? Because the Oscars is laterally a "Let's Stroke our own Ego until it's raw" contest. That's all it is and all it will ever be.
Really rude to animation making fun of them like that, especially when they are working on unionizing and getting better wages and work conditions. Of what was nominated for Animation, a LOT should have taken Raya’s and Luca’s spots (I love Luca, but compared to Encanto, Michells vs the Machines, and Flee, it didn’t have a chance especially how Oscars vote) like Wish Dragon or an anime film like Belle.
Don’t you love how sometimes they can ruin the handing out of the award to the one who deserves by having it feel dirty and lack the love it deserved by doing horrible skits and segments that just feel dirty with how cringey they are.
About Dos Oruguitas being picked as the song nominated. So the people who make the film can only select one song to submit for consideration, not the Academy picking and choosing. Lin Manuel Miranda said they went with Dos Oruguitas, knowing it wasn’t a guaranteed win, but because of the significance of if it won it would be first fully Spanish original song to win, plus a Colombian singer winning.

Wow, the streamer awards were better than the Oscars. huh
5:11 The trademark Schaff phone vibrate kinda acted like a censor
E3 may be gone, but we’ll always have the Oscars.
disrespecting editors and voice actors who don’t actually appear in public often in favour for obnoxious and unfunny live actors is just so painfully numbing
loved your points!! too true!
It's funny because the amount of animated movies that have made hundreds of millions of dollars, even billions.
The moment boss baby won over a silent voice I knew the Oscar's are shit
Awesome video
Also damn, you didn’t just ignore the elephant in the room, you pole vaulted over the elephant so it couldn’t even see YOU!
Schaff: "The Academy only gives out awards to whoever campaigns the hardest!"
Also Schaff: "[INSERT FEMALE] should win because we haven't had a female winner in years!"
How about we just pick the best ones as the winner, both of ya?
the oscars should not be owned by anyone and all films have to be required to watch before hand, that way, its fair.
The hatred I feel for the Oscars and Hollywood as a whole really just keeps growing. All the awards should be equal and the fact that they view some as lesser shows how disconnected Hollywood is not just from reality, but from the very people who make movies possible.
Give👏 Young 👏 Actors 👏 And 👏 Actresses👏 The👏 Recognition 👏 They 👏 Deserve 👏
Let's not forget about their comments to Florida that are based on a COMPLETE LIE.
I can't believe that I heard about the slap but not that equally appalling Regina Hall skit. NOT OKAY!!! Sexual harassment doesn't stop being a thing just because it's done by a woman to a man!!! Yeesh!!!! I'm so sad more people aren't speaking up for them! Thanks for calling her out!!!!
as an editor and animator its really disheartening to see the type of work i do being shut down and belittled
My respects for actually talking about the winners and what the academy did good this year instead of “the slap heard around the world”. Great video Schaff.
Can't believe you got Chris Evans for this video. That's crazy
such a shame.
But at least we got the chris rock slap
9:36: When your attendants chant because you're making a mistake, you know you're making a mistake.
Leland Sklar made the same point about the dance number during the memorium section! It’s good to hear people talk about how bad that is!
Wanda Sykes is dope, I’m glad she’s coming back into the mainstream. She was one of the better parts of Tiny Tina Wonderlands
Can you trying watching Mune: guardian of the moon. I feel like the movie is underrated for the animation and its story line
I don’t think anyone should be this mad about the Oscar’s, they’re just a fashion show with million dollar advertisements. And to the editor, why would you even want recognition from the Oscar’s if you hate them so much. They probably have it better than the actors.

I have to wonder is she wearing underwear under the yellow dress. I somehow think not.

Ranking the Oscars?? 👀
I remember watching these as a child and spending 15 minutes trying to go through it before switching the channel. Those acceptance speeches went on for so long.
Did you actually forget to talk about Will Smith and Chris Rock, or was that part of the joke at the end?
My film major boyfriend can't stand the Oscars, and the more I learn about them the more I undoubtedly agree with him
Why no Chris rock slap
as someone in tech theater, lack of recognition for bts people isn’t just a hollywood problem. i’m pretty sure it’s at every level, which is kind of disheartening
“Animation is for kids!”
(Laughs in Invincible and Smiling Friends)
I was LIVID that Garfield lost the Oscar to Mr slapperton
I'm glad that they're seems to be only civil comments.
kekw
I’m sorry I am so sorry but!…. Little Italian gay bois the movie deserved best animated picture
i still get super excited when i see the clip of spiderverse winning
I'm on film school and yeah, i totally agree with you the oscars sucks
My class is doing a book report about the oscars but with books. Dumb.
The alec baldwin joke is probably the only one Amy actually wrote. No wonder it got cut.

Amy Schumer's joke that was too much for the Oscar's isn't even funny. Alec Baldwin didn't even use a shotgun!
Nice job ignoring the elephant in the room
helth ledger winning best surrporting actor was my favorite moment. that joker profromance is the best by a villain ever
Editing is what can make or break a film. Wtf
The fact that the animated feature category was introduced by three of the LIVE ACTION princesses makes that ridiculous introduction even more enraging.

They basically call animation unworthy of the oscars while movies like into the spider verse and other animated features blow most other films out of the water. Unbelievable
the Oscars is everything wrong with the film industry summed up in 3 hours
I just wish the academy would start including anime in nominations
The Oscars sucked this year. Nuff zed.
i agreed with most of what you were saying but what irked me is how exactly does megan thee stallion performing a rap verse with the cast a disrespect to the cast and movie the way you said it seemed very micro aggressive to me like rap is something to look down upon it really took me aback as a black subscriber who really enjoys your content
10:03 he was the priest from Hunt for the Wilderpeople a very underrated gem

That was a rant…good night internet.
Always remember… society's negative views of animation is because illumination has saturated the animation market with endless hollow shallow garbage. Blame illumination.
heath ledger winning the best supporting actor award was pure movie magic, i felt like even if he was alive, he would have won
Samuel L. Jackson finally winning an Oscar after decades in the business?
banger video, especially the second part 🙂
Next Up: The Oscars sucked. So I made my own.
goop your editing is very good
The ceremony was fr so boring this year it made me want to smack somebody
He didn't even mention the 'incident'
And I RESPECT that
ew. no it's not worth it.
It’s just Hollywood praising themselves and insulting the rest of America 90% of the time. When they shout out to groups who are in the minority or struggling it feels more patronizing than anything… Like ah thank you white rich lady now I feel heard 😌 I can literally smell the privilege.

I think you did forget something, but oh well, im sure you will remember, eventually.
You guys know award shows are bought beforehand and only serve as hours long advertisements? This is all just a dog and pony show, stop pretending it isn't.
Review lego movie 1 and 2
Eghhh Amy Schumer
I know this probably sounds crazy, but as a society should make our own award shows, have them be completely transparent with who is on the board, fund them through crowd funding and actually recognize the best movies of the year.
I like all the old cartoon references in this video, like Invader Zim and Ren and Stimpy
I already hate The Oscar since other category are got small Times to show. I remember every category are long due to the host for that category explain the meaning and important of that category to the movies. This is felt like more to the Talk show or stand up Comedy than The Oscars.
Nothing bout Dune winning 6 and being nominated for like 4 more? Either way great vid, been a longtime fan, keep up the amazing work!
Apparently saying Gay over and over is more important than best editor
To be honest I enjoyed Cruella and I'm glad it received recognition in costume design instead of the same generic baroque or tudor fashion historical drama that wins every year.
And Dune was awesome as well.
"Why hello, Little Timmy. What's your favorite Animated Superhero Movie of 2020 ???" [3:11]
"Why it's the animated series "Invincible", duh. Filled with Blood, Gore, and Sexual Themes. Because Animation is always for kids like me"
Yeah, I have to admit them saying Animation is just "kids stuff" is a middle finger to thatt industry. The Academy can kiss my ass
Plus: In the Heights didn’t get A SINGLE WIN?! WHAT?! How did west side story win some when in the heights was better in almost every possible way
what if they just live streamed every award?
Thank you! The Samples Choir was absolutely transcendent and wonderful during the In Memoriam sequence, BUT whomever was in charge of the camerawork and editing did not understand the assignment.

Will Smith
Respect for making a 15 Minute video about the oscars without mentioning Will Smith once
I'm shocked you didn't talk about Will Smith xD
I'm not gonna lie I was kinda hoping you'd have some witty take on what happened with Will Smith and Chris Rock even if it was a quick gag but I'm also impressed you went the whole video without talking about it.
That Twisted edit near the beginning reminded me to tell you I watched Twisted because of you and I cant thank you enough.
he forgot the will smith part
i actually personally enjoyed the gospel number during the "in memoriam" segment; i thought it represented a respectful celebration of those lives rather than mourning them
Why do they hate all the people who actually make media possible? Because the Oscars is laterally a "Let's Stroke our own Ego until it's raw" contest. That's all it is and all it will ever be.
Really rude to animation making fun of them like that, especially when they are working on unionizing and getting better wages and work conditions. Of what was nominated for Animation, a LOT should have taken Raya’s and Luca’s spots (I love Luca, but compared to Encanto, Michells vs the Machines, and Flee, it didn’t have a chance especially how Oscars vote) like Wish Dragon or an anime film like Belle.
i respectfully disagree, the oscars are not awful, the award itself is not, just some of the people are
Don’t you love how sometimes they can ruin the handing out of the award to the one who deserves by having it feel dirty and lack the love it deserved by doing horrible skits and segments that just feel dirty with how cringey they are.
About Dos Oruguitas being picked as the song nominated. So the people who make the film can only select one song to submit for consideration, not the Academy picking and choosing. Lin Manuel Miranda said they went with Dos Oruguitas, knowing it wasn’t a guaranteed win, but because of the significance of if it won it would be first fully Spanish original song to win, plus a Colombian singer winning.
