 Re: What Happens If Pixar Pulls A F 9/11 With WALL-E?
I hope they do.
I hope they don't.
I know the only way it can get nominated for BP is for it to pull itself out of Animated... but I don't want it left out in the cold...
I hate the Oscars!!!

It wouldn't hurt. With a bit of a push, sure.

I'd say the most likely outcome is no nomination at all

It would be such a stupid move. The animated Oscar is a guarantee, and a nom fo BP is hardly imaginable, let alone the win. And any Oscar is better than no Oscar.

Nah would be a stupid move. It has no chance at Best Pic. Even TDK has a better chance.
They'll gladly take Best Animated.

I don't see why they would. Wall-E's not trying to score the political points and make a retarded statement like Moore was with that action.

 Re: What Happens If Pixar Pulls A F 9/11 With WALL-E?
It's really the only way it could get back into contention at this point, as buzz has quieted so very much for it (Hell, even TDK is beginning to seem not quite as sane as it did a month ago). But even then it needs a lot more to make that work.
And while the move would make plenty of sense if they REALLY wanted a Picture nom, I have a hard time seeing them actually doing it. And for that, it remains well out of my predictions.

Well, they would be making a statement (the debate however would be whether or not its retarded).  A statment about what? Moore's film was potentially up against worthy films... Wall-E will be up against dreck like Horton Hears a Who and Kung Fu Panda. And Disney is not FAG.

 Re: What Happens If Pixar Pulls A F 9/11 With WALL-E?
It might have made sense had it been bigger at the B.O. But right now, it does not. There's too small of a chance it gets in (unless the rest of the year seriously disappoints), and no chance it wins. Better off going with the guaranteed nom and win in animated.
If it had become a phenom, it would have been a good move. It would have gotten in for BP and had a good shot at the win.

F 9/11 didnt get nominated because it wasnt worthy.
Wall-E will make it.

 Re: What Happens If Pixar Pulls A F 9/11 With WALL-E?
Yes, F9/11 is way more divisive than anything like Wall-E. It's certainly not as good. I actually like most of Moore's polemics, but F9/11 bored me.

The same would happen to it as to F 9711
