It is true that animated movies are primarily recognized and awarded in the Best Animated Feature category at the Oscars. While animated films have won awards in other categories, such as Best Original Song, Best Original Score, and Best Sound Editing in the past, the creation of the Best Animated Feature category in 2001 provided a more comprehensive recognition of the artistry and technical achievements of animated films.
Prior to the creation of the Best Animated Feature category, animated films were only recognized in categories such as Best Original Song, Best Original Score, and occasionally in technical categories like Best Visual Effects. However, these categories did not provide full recognition of the animation as a cinematic art form.
It is important to note that being nominated for an Oscar in any category is an achievement and a recognition of the hard work and creativity that goes into making a film. While it may seem unfair that animated films are not nominated in other categories, it is important to recognize that the criteria for nomination and selection are complex and involve a variety of factors, including artistic merit, technical achievement, and cultural relevance.
Overall, the Academy has shown respect for animation throughout its history, with notable films like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Toy Story, and Spirited Away winning awards in various categories. However, it is true that in recent years, animated films have primarily been recognized in the Best Animated Feature category, and there has been a lack of recognition for animated films in other categories.
