It made the consideration list huh, imagine how happy the director would be if it actually gets nominated
The possibility of an Oscar? This is way too cool
Yeah but this is just a nomination for a nomination, it's not that hard
I think we all knew a long time ago that Kimi no Na wa would get an Academy Award
Nah no way this'll happen
I think we all know which way this is going... I can see Kimi no Na wa getting an Oscar easily.
Hmm, there's only 5 spaces for nominations, though... It really depends what other animated movies it's up against.
