The Academy Awards nominees have now been revealed and as always, some movies have been snubbed. The Dark Knight Rises received zero nominations while other movies weren’t recognised in the major categories. For video game fans though, it’s good to see that Wreck-It Ralph has an Ocsar nod.
The popular Disney film about a video game character that wants to “break out” for his own game has proved to be a hit with critics and audiences alike. It may not be directly based on an actual video game, but we can say it’s the most successful movie about video games. Usually video game movies are shoddy and both audiences and critics hate them…
Wreck-It Ralph has been nominated in the “Best Animated Film” category. It will have to contend with “Brave”, “Frankenweenie”, “Paranorman” and
“The Pirates! Band Of Misfits”.
Hopefully this is a sign that video game movies but become good in the future? Ubisoft has Assassin’s Creed and Splinter Cell in the pipeline and a Metal Gear Soild movie is being developed too…
