My nomination ballot. I'd better send it in quick - tomorrow I've most certainly changed my mind again.
And yes - I didn't nominate anything in the animation category. The only one I've seen on the consideration list is poppy hills and I didn't care for that very much. I watched and loved Frankenweenie which opened in Sweden in 2013 but I guess it's not eligible...
Also: I don't watch a lot of comedies so I found it a little hard to remember anything special here. Sorry. I guess I'm a bit of a bore.
