It wouldn't make sense for them to give it such a high honor like an Original Screenplay nod and then not vote for it as Animated Feature -- I think the voters will recognize what deserves the win. Wall-E could lose Best Animated Film while winning a few techs. Pan's Labyrinth had the same "achievement" in 2006 while it won Best in Cinematography, Art Direction and Makeup but lost Best Foreign Film to The Lives of Others. I think Kung Fu Panda still has a chance to beat Wall-E. While Wall-E wins the "intensity" vote, it breaks even with KFP in the popularity category. In a democratic voting system, popularity is what counts.

Re: Annie Awards: Winners announced (WOW) this is awesome. Even though i thought Wall-e was the better film it is great to see the film taken down a few notches.

Re: Annie Awards: Winners announced (WOW) what a joke, this is absoltuely ridiculous. I love KFP it's hovering on the outside of my top 10 but Wall-E is easily the best animated film of the decade. These rewards need to be destroyed.

In a democratic voting system, popularity is what counts. Foreign Language is a different beast though, since an academy member has to sign some affidavit saying they have seen all 5 movies in some special screening before voting for the winner. That's how Lives of Others won. Pan's Labyrinth fans most likely thought it will win so they skipped that part. Same thing happened to Amelie (coincidentally, also a nominee for Original Screenplay). _________________A hot man once wrote: Urgh, I have to throw out half my underwear because it's too tight.

Re: Annie Awards: Winners announced (WOW) Good for them - Kung-Fu Panda is a much better film than Wall-E. As Loyal pointed out, some of those action scenes were just outstanding, and for once, a Dreamworks film was genuinely funny! (The first time since... Shrek 2?)
As for Waltz with Bashir, I wouldn't doubt it's stronger still, but this sort of "pseudo-animation" never seems to get it's just desserts - see Waking Life, Polar Express, and Beowulf.

Last time I checked, the animated equivalent of the Oscars had a Kung-Fu Panda sweep, and a Wall-E snub fest.  I guess they felt robbed of a fitting second half as well. (I'll freely admit the first 45 minutes of Wall-E were superb.)

Re: Annie Awards: Winners announced (WOW) Kung Fu Panda is a nice win. Both KFP and Wall-E have issues and for me its a toss up which is best so I have no real issue with this result.

Re: Annie Awards: Winners announced (WOW) I'll be honest.
Before Kung-Fu Panda and WALL-E came out I was looking forward to Kung-Fu Panda more simply because it looked like more fun and it was basically the animated version of films that I like a lot.
After I have seen both in theatres, there was no question for me which was better and that was NOT Kung-Fu Panda (albeit that one was still solid).
