Another thing to say about the idiocy of Selzer.

I repeat (I said this before on a message for the "Superior Duck" boards): what was wrong with Edward Selzer and Leon Schlesinger? They had an excellent studio and they won their first Oscar for best cartoon in 1947? They were the leading studio of the day! But the producer or studio head seemed not to care about the quality of the cartoon, just so long as Warner Bros. recieved 40-50 cartoons per year. MGM and Disney entered one or two cartoons every year into the Oscar competition. Warner Bros., inexplicably, did not. They never even seemed to notice that their rivals were getting the accolades from official sources but the public response to Looney Tunes topped that of any other studio easily. Selzer was reluctant to enter any cartoon his employees made, only relenting every five years or so. His studio could have gotten 60% of the Oscars over a period of thirty years. Now, with Selzer gone and much less competition, Warner Bros. had a perfect chance to enter "Chariots of Fur" into the Oscar ceremony. They didn't. The competition is not nearly as brutal now. MGM and Disney folded. And the Road Runner deserves to be entered for the second time. "Beep Prepared" was the first, way back in 1961. That's my opinion. Warner Bros. should have nominated their best cartoon(s) each year, or at least every other year. They would have won more than half the time.
