【The Erotic Adventures of Zorro】
The The Erotic Adventures of Zorro2018 Oscar nominations made a lot of people happy (Greta Gerwig! Daniel Kaluuya! Logan!), but as usual, there were oversights – like that Best Animated Feature nomination for The Boss Baby. Twitter was insulted – nay, wounded – to see the Alec Baldwin film up for such a prestigious award, even if it won't win.
SEE ALSO: Here are all your 2018 Oscar nomineesAs hilarious and facepalm-worthy as it is, there's a likely explanation for The Boss Baby crawling into the Oscar race. An Oscar rule instated in 2017 allows any interested member of the Academy to vote on animated films, regardless of their background or connection to animation. Instead of the opinions of, you know, experts in their field, votes could be from literally any Academy member who just likes watching these movies -- which, as the above SlashFilm piece points out, means a lot of people were presumably voting by saying, "Eh, my kid likes it."
Anyway, people were upset.
