The Japan Academy Prize Association for excellence in film has announced the five nominees for their prestigious Animation of the Year award, which will be part of their 38th annual Japan Academy Prize Association awards ceremony.
Only movies shown between the period of December 15, 2013 and December 13, 2014 are eligible for nomination. Here are the nominees:
When Marnie Was There (Studio Ghibli)
Giovanni’s Island
Detective Conan: Dimensional Sniper
Buddha 2: Tezuka Osamu no Buddha – Owarinaki Tabi wikipedia
Doraemon Stand By Me
The Japan Academy Prize Association is Japan’s answer to Hollywood’s Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences which hand out the Oscar Awards. In Japan, winning their awards is almost comparable to winning an Oscar, so these awards are prestigious indeed.
Previous winners of the Animation of the year include big names like Spirited Away, Summer Wars, and the Girl who Leaped Through Time. The awarding ceremony, as well as the announcement of winners will be on February 27, 2014.
