The Academy has officially released the five nominations for the Best Animated Feature category, and Your Name isn’t one of them.
But in more concrete terms, Your Name probably wasn’t seen as being technically or thematically challenging enough.
Despite having its initial Japanese release back in August, anime phenomenon Your Name was recently back at the top of Japan’s weekly box office rankings.
Your Name, though, will just have to hope that American audiences give it a warmer reception than the Academy when the film’s official U.S. release comes in April.
