Will Lucas Finally Win His Oscar?

I know this is a bit of a long shot (considering the poor quality of the film), but I'm going to add "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" to the Best Animated Feature predictions. Yeah, I know this is a terrible film, with a script worse then the movie it's spun off from and the most wooden animation in the world, but it's also a film produced by George Lucas.



Lucas has long been a bit of an outcast in Hollywood. The studios didn't get him when he was younger, he went on to create two of the most profitable franchises in movie history, and has since become a producer as big as Daryl F. Zanuck. The guy may be a questionable director, but it was thanks to "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" that digital film making was put on the map. Yet the man has yet to win an Oscar. Even Stanely Kubrick won an Oscar for Best Visual Effects for "2001: A Space Odyssey," so why not Lucas? Well, this is a good chance to rectify that mistake with "The Clone Wars." Yeah it's a lousy movie, probably the worst kind of kids entertainment and the Academy would be doing that category no favors by voting for it. But there's this nagging voice that says it could pull a MAJOR upset! After all, why worry about disgracing an under-appreciated category when the newspapers can have the headlines "Lucas Finally Wins Oscar." I hope I'm wrong, but I've got this bad feeling.
