The thing is, Pixar doesn't really "steal" the award so much as it's generally the only animated film a lot of the voters could be bothered to watch, and it's simply the safest bet since they're generally the best reviewed and financially successful animated film of their respective year (whether you like them or not). That's also how Brave, Frozen, and Big Hero 6 won, and I'm not talking about the quality of the films and whether they're deserving or not of the award (that's all subjective); I'm talking more about The Oscars standards for animation and how they don't take the medium seriously enough to look into the independent and low-budget noms. Really, the problem with the category is not so much Pixar wins most of the time so much as the award almost always goes to a Disney distributed film, whether they be made by Pixar, WDAS, or Studio Ghibli (remember, Disney distributes their films in North America, where The Oscars are held). Only four - keep in mind the category has only existed for about fifteen years now - were not distributed by Disney (Shrek - Dreamworks, Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit - Dreamworks, Happy Feet - Warner Bros., and Rango - Paramount). It all comes full circle once you realize that ABC, the network that broadcasts The Oscars, is owned by Disney. There's also a lot more that's wrong with The Oscars, but I'm just gonna leave this here since they explain it very well. Let me close off by saying, once again, you don't need a shiny trophy to validate your opinion. If you feel that any of the other movies are better and meant more to you, then that's fine, and it not winning a trophy shouldn't take that away from you. At the end of the day, it's your own opinion that counts.
