 With Cars 2 out, what might win the animated Oscar?
Well, Pixar looks like it blew its Oscar this year. What films do you think will make the top three?

 Re: With Cars 2 out, what might win the animated Oscar?
I think Rango's in, but I doubt it'll win.
There'll probably be at least one foreign film nominated that we haven't heard of yet.
I don't know if Tintin can make it. None of Zemeckis' mo-cap animated films got nominated, but maybe Spielberg's name will put it over.
I doubt any of the sequels are getting nominated.

Mo-cap films aren't eligible. Could be a furrin film.

Kung Fu Panda 2 is a lock - - it's an excellent film, and this fact will have been discovered on DVD by Oscar time.

Winnie the Pooh is too short to be eligible.

 Re: With Cars 2 out, what might win the animated Oscar?
Actually, Cars 2 is on par with Rio or Kung Fu Panda 2 (as dreadful as they are). So, if the year ends here, Cars 2 should certainly be nominated. The winner, of course, should be Rango, which wasn't much of 'Oh wow' either. Hopefully, something really good will come out during the second half of the year. I'm hoping for Rango and other two unheard great foreign animation films.

 Re: With Cars 2 out, what might win the animated Oscar?
Wasn't Monster House mo-cap AND a nominee? (Zemeckis was EP though, not the director)
Did they change the rules?

 Re: With Cars 2 out, what might win the animated Oscar?
As of now I guess Rango has the best bet, yet I can't actually see it winning so who knows. Probably some foreign film we aren't aware of yet.

 Re: With Cars 2 out, what might win the animated Oscar?
Too bad Arrietty is being released in February. From the look of things, iI think it could have received a nomination this year.

 Re: With Cars 2 out, what might win the animated Oscar?
Oh yeah, I forgot about Monster House.
So I'm going with Tintin, Rango, and obscure foreign film for the nominees.

 Re: With Cars 2 out, what might win the animated Oscar?
Tintin is not eligible. Mo cap is not eligible. The ruling was changed last July, I think. http://www.oscars.org/awards/academyawa ... ule07.htmlThe same rule states that the running time has to be at least 40 minutes, so Winnie the Pooh is actually eligible (but probably won't be nominated). Rango Kung Fu Panda 2 Some foreign flick

 Re: With Cars 2 out, what might win the animated Oscar?
All it says is that "motion capture by itself is not an animation technique", which prevents stuff like Avatar and King Kong from getting nominated in the category. But with Tintin, which has mo-cap characters but a fully animated background, I think it's fine.

 Re: With Cars 2 out, what might win the animated Oscar?
It'd be funny if Cars 2 still eked out a nomination.

Rango for now, though I could even see Rio winning. Maybe Happy Feet 2 will surprise

 Re: With Cars 2 out, what might win the animated Oscar?
I don't know, it seems like the Academy might nominate Cars 2 anyway, regardless of critical backlash.

 Re: With Cars 2 out, what might win the animated Oscar?
Too bad there's no stop-motion films this year, far as I can see. Fantastic Mr. Fox or even Coraline could have won this year.
