![]() | Re: 14 films submit for Best Animated Feature Oscar I predict: Panda, WALL-E, and then a wild-card of either some international film, or another film that hasn't been released yet. And it's wrong to see WALL-E here. It deserves a best picture nod.

![]() | Re: 14 films submit for Best Animated Feature Oscar I think that they should give the other filmmakers a chance and leave that other spot to a different company. Giving Disney 2/3 of the category weasels away the chances of the other independent or international films that deserve it.

![]() | Re: 14 films submit for Best Animated Feature Oscar It's not about over-honoring Disney. It's about honoring the best possible choice. As the Academy terms it: ANIMATED FEATURE FILM: Best animated feature film of the year.* Quote:

It is the same for foreign language feature. I think "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (2003) was the last film to snag a nomination in both categories.

![]() | Re: 14 films submit for Best Animated Feature Oscar You're right. Also 'Life is Beautiful' (1999) received a Best Picture nomination, and won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, among a few others. |

![]() | Re: 14 films submit for Best Animated Feature Oscar I thought "The Tale of Despereaux" looked interesting. I haven't heard of some of these films. I look forward to learning more about them.

![]() | Re: 14 films submit for Best Animated Feature Oscar The FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION ads every year offer some truly hilarious (and contractually-obligated) options. They have as great a chance as 'Tropic Thunder', 'Max Payne' or hundreds of others do.
