Clearly, Tintin fans are also Walking Dead fans. Who knew there was such crossover?

Tintin Oscar Snub?!?

Posted on January 25, 2012 | 7 Comments

The nominations are out, and The Adventures of Tintin has been snubbed. Well, there is one award, for Best Music Score.

After a Golden Globe victory, the film received no animation or visual effects nominations.

According to New Zealand Media, animators behind the film think the Academy has made a mistake. “I think that was a really big oversight… Not to recognise those achievements,” says Joe Letteri, senior visual effects supervisor for Weta Digital.

Mr Letteri’s Weta team was responsible for the Tintin motion-capture animation, and he has a theory about why they missed out.

“The visual effects branch didn’t recognise it, because they thought it was animation, and the animation branch didn’t recognise it because it was using performance capture and visual effects techniques.” (via)

Before you feel too bad for Spielberg, his War Horse epic did receive a Best Picture nomination.

Still, no love for the Captain, our favorite reporter, and our favorite pooch.

Fans, weigh in. What do you think?
