If I'd list my five Best animated films of the last decade (<i>Coraline</i>, <i>Fantastic Mr. Fox</i>, <i>Corpse Bride</i>) they would not dominate the list. Sometimes I wonder if everyone's just wary of hating on such a sweet film/studio. I do hope I like Toy Story III, but I didn't love the previous incarnations as a child...Andrew K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01104647944747041277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-83628930584419185392010-06-23T23:05:46.737-06:002010-06-23T23:05:46.737-06:00@ Danny & Emily - yes, this nomination seems &...@ Danny & Emily - yes, this nomination seems "in the cards" --<br /><br />As for a best picture nomination each year...Emily...I'm not so sure...for two reasons...<br /><br />(1) Not every Pixar film has even won the animated feature award when eligible [Monsters Inc lost to Shrek, Cars lost to Happy Feet].<br /><br />In those years would have Shrek & Happy Feet made top 10? Or both?<br /><br />(2) If they didn't go for Cars the first time, will they go for Cars 2? I'm a little worried about Pixar's continued creativity & artistry...but maybe that's just me.RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11340006144797496514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-36826893350868890772010-06-23T21:23:40.228-06:002010-06-23T21:23:40.228-06:00I think it's the combination of the false infl...I think it's the combination of the false inflation and 10 nominees that you mentioned that could get this film a Best Picture nomination. If Pixar keeps making consistently good films, I wouldn't be surprised if one get nominated for Best Pic each year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-11629302385269623192010-06-22T23:54:38.820-06:002010-06-22T23:54:38.820-06:00I certainly would bet on a Best Picture nomination...I certainly would bet on a Best Picture nomination at this point. I'm not sure on Best Director, however, but with a field of ten - and the glorious reputation that the "Toy Story" franchise has - I think that "Toy Story 3" receiving a nod is almost a guaranteed lock.Danny Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09156845190808578435noreply@blogger.com
