Oh, and he's the animator of the legendary Charlie The Unicorn, too. :)
I like the ones mentioned before better tho.^^

They might be the two most EPIC movies I've ever seen, but the animation isnt great, i doubt they would win

Wow. Hard to believe NG's grown so much.

Since you joined... yesterday?

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned before, but just to remind everyone that it actually wouldn't be so unlikely:

It's not Flash, but it's a short, simple yet brilliant animation created by a single person (correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm too lazy to fully check the credits right now if Don Hertzfeld animated all by himself). Yet it got nominated for an Oscar.
And I'm sure there's gotta be some Oscar winning potential around here somewhere! :)

tank trophy > oscar. adam phillips could win an oscar for sure, not sure who else, maybe flecko or jazza, theyre about the best animators on newgrounds that i know of, but im sure theres a heap of awesome animators, ooh also whoever made fallen angel: teaser, but i dont think they animate anymore...

either that or were gonna get 1 kick-ass animation out of nowhere

See? when theres a trophy people suck up to you! *weep* i have no trophies

Well... thats a good enough incentive to get me to re-start animating...

New Drinking Game!
NEW DRINKING GAME!

Put a bunch of chairs around the pc. Open a bottle of vodka and mix it with a bottle of rum.
Fill several mugs.

Go through all 7 pages of this thread and each time someone mentions adam phillips or egoraptor, you drink a mug.

have fun

ILLWILLPRESS, LengendaryFrog, Egoraptor, and PirateClock will definitely win.

QFT D:

As someone whose close friend just won Best Animated Short in the Student Academy Awards (run by the same people... check it out, the animation is called Art's Desire), lemme clear up some misconceptions about the Oscar process.

First of all, any film can be considered, as long as it has been screened in Los Angeles. Many film festivals around the country book theater time in Los Angeles for the winners of their festivals, so they get to be officially eligible. THis rule is so members of the academy, most of whom are in Los Angeles, can have a chance to see it.

There ARE other rules, however, like I believe one would have to get the film printed onto 16mm or above film in order for it to be officially screened for Academy members. When my friend was considering submitting her film for the real deal she would have had to shell out a grand or so to get her 4 minute long film shown on film. I can imagine this being cost prohibitive for many flash artists who use flash specifically because it's so cheap.

THAT BEING SAID, let it be remembered that DON HERTZFELDT'S REJECTED was nominated for an Academy Award! So anyone can do it!

LOL. It looks like no body mentioned NG on the oscars. XD

Ah, its such apoty i dont know how to animate just yet. AAAAnd besides, fro an anmatino to make it to he oscard it must be over and hour and a half long, ....It takes 3 years and a team of 40 people to do that. and besides,.... could newgrounds host sumthing THAT large?

sorry fro all the typos.....yeah. my cpy keyboard sux.

Wow, nice, I want. I shall not get.

Hmm would the person get extra if, when they won the award they went up to the stage completely naked, but plastered from head to toe with Newgrounds stickers?

Then, during their speech they did a bit of extra sneaky subliminal advertising?
"I would like to thank my mother and my father and especially NEWGROUNDS DOT COM, That's N-E-W-G-R-O-U-N-D-S-DOT COM. Thank you"

Only way a flash is getting an oscar is if you use that $10,000 as bribe money.

but seriously it floors me that people keep mentioning egoraptor. its like, get your heads out of your asses and realize that egoraptor's flashes are worthless outside of the internet. and theyre especially worthless to anyone who hasn't played whatever videogame hes making fun of

Maybe as our skills and knowledge grow, we'll figure out how to "push" a movie into the Oscar nomination process, the way major studios traditionally do.

s'easy.. it just needs to be shown in a cinema for paying customers (in L.A)for 7 days before the awards that year and you also need to pay the entry fee.

rules here

Tom, you always make me wish that I was good at Flash, it's too bad that I'm no good.

how can newgrounds afford this?

Umm... There are also those fags. HAHA "0" FOR U HAHA NEVR OSKARZ LUL

PK4'll win an oscar, I assure you.

i just realized im probly the only one here who knows people with the actual ability to get a short animated film screened in LA. these ucla animation school people i know can get films distributed and noticed all around hollywood. a student made a movie called "9" a few years back and it got nominated for the oscar.

of course WINNING the oscar is a whole different story than getting nominated. people keep mentioning "rejected" as proof that anyone can get an oscar, but it didn't actually win that year. and don hertzfeld is more talented than most people give him credit for... i watched his newest animation and it was incredible, yet it didn't even get a nod this year. bill plympton, easily my favorite animator of all time, has also been nominated but has never won. i find that astonishing considering what an unbelievable artist he is. and solely from the brief clips of this year's shorts, it seemed to me like the other films deserved it a lot more than the winner did. wow peter and the wolf, never seen that one before.

no one will ever claim that 10,000 dollar prize even though its likely an animator from NG may get nominated sometime in the future. i just don't think anyone will ever actually win it, not if guys like hertzfeld and plympton can't do it

You should turn it into a dick, than I may bother to finish one of these adobe flash things.

It will be a couple of years before the academy decides to nominate website flash shorts. If it does happen it will probably be from youtube or myspace.

This should be fairly easy. I mean A film about gay cowboys got one...plus do live action videos embedded in flash count?

Nice. Maybe I should start learning flash.

Those Tank Trophies are pretty sexy..
