Also notable are a couple of films that didn't get nominated. Some expressed surprise that Disney/Pixar film Finding Dory didn't get a nomination. Many fans of anime were outraged that Your Name, the #1 box office film in Japan in 2016, didn't get a nomination either.
It was less than two weeks ago, long after nominees were announced, that I first saw Your Name, and I'm inclined to agree that it should have gotten a nomination, and might even have been right up there with Kubo as having a shot at pulling an upset over runaway favorite Zootopia. I am pleased Zootopia won the award but color me disappointed that Your Name didn't at least get a nomination.
