About Ratatoullie, don't you think that the people at pixar would become spoiled if they receive one oscar each year?


It's a moot question; Pixar has not won even close to one Oscar each year. Pixar has won only 2 Best Animated Feature awards--Finding Nemo and The Incredibles are the only Pixar films to win one.

Even if you count the Best Short Film, Best Music, and even the technical awards, Pixar hasn't won one Oscar each year. In fact, Pixar won no Oscars of any kind in the last two years.

Where do people get the idea that Pixar is getting spoiled with Oscars?

I don't know, but the notion that you should deny the award to what is clearly the best animated film of the year (that being Ratatouille) because you might "spoil" the studio that produced it is idiocy.

So, I hear that Gay Wolf actually delivers in 3-d, but does anyone who's seen it feel it deserves the nomination more than before?

Before what? I've just finished watching Tekkon and I think it deserves to be in the running, but with the rodent chef pulling them in at great numbers and Tekkon nowhere to be seen except for a few back street art houses it's got no chance. However Tekkon's BGM should also get an Oscar nomination on its own. it made this movie that much more enjoyable. Even though they are British, I never heard of Plaid, but I have now.

"Gay Wolf"? You make my head hurt, Daniel.

Honestly I really enjoyed it and the 3D was spectacular - it's a solid action movie with some great performances - but it's no Ratatouille. I think it deserves to be nominated, though, for sure.

BTW GATSU, the pissing contest in that "controversy" link in your first post had me in stitches. Laughing

I have nothing against the Annies of course - ASIFA is a great group. They gave us a home entertainment award years ago for ANIMATRIX.

A shame too. 1) Anime needs some positive media right now and 2) Shrek 3 was amusing, but not Oscar worthy imho. From a literary merit POV, I'd rather see Tekkon on the ballot than Shrek 3.

If we're making wishes, I'd much rather see Paprika nominated than Tekkon.

Zac: Same. However, both Japanese movies go against the "Animation is for children" fallacy, as Paprika was rated R in its short theatre run. Don't know if Tekkon has been showed in theatres or what its rating was.

I wouldn't call 5 months a short theater run.

About Beowulf being motion captured, and not a true animation: Happy Feet used motion capture for its dance sequences.
