I'm sorry The Wind Rises didn't get the win, but nice try. But congrats to the other winners. Very Happy

Well, we can't guarantee if they can win the oscar, but nominated is just as good.

Also--leaving aside the GG's odd qualifications of what's a "Foreign" film and what's Animated--Wind Rises isn't really THAT good. At least not when put next to a pretty good live-action Italian film.
(Which was exactly one of the reasons the Foreign-Language Oscar committee wasn't happy about being fan-pestered to vote for PonPoko and Princess Mononoke when there were plenty of better live-action nominees that year.)

As for Miyazaki, there's "final film", there's "career-culminating film", and there's "DEFINITIVE film".
And for "Definitive", that would be "Spirited Away" and it already won. (Beating out Lilo & Stitch and Treasure Planet.)
Now, if Spirited hadn't won and the voters gave the award to "Howl's Moving Castle" or "Ponyo" to make up for it, THAT would be a tragedy.
