What You Need to Know:
- Given the success of the film, it's very likely. Kimi no Na wa recently won the LA Film Critics Award for Best Animation. The L.A. Film Critics Association is thought to heavily influence the Academy Awards. So given its current collection of awards and this most recent, its chances are looking good.
- Kimi no Na wa has earned several awards, both in Japan and internationally. It is currently Japan's #2 all-time film. It has also received Oscar consideration.
- The comparisons to Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away definitely won't stop now. Kimi no Na wa is the first non-Ghibli anime film to receive the award. In 2002, Spirited Away won the LA Critics Awards, and went on to take home the Academy Award and an Oscar in 2003. Will Kimi no Na wa be able to do the same?!
