In response to "Does anyone think WALL-E will get a B est Picture nod? Every freakin' "Best Of" list I see has it in the top 5 it seems. -- nm" by Beaker

I still don't think it will. Nominating it for BP would make the Animated category obsolete and redundant -- nm

So they should change the name of the Best Picture category to Best Live Action Narrative Feature. -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 3, 14:50
no more than nominating Life is Beautiful for Best Pic made Best Foreign Language Film obsolete and redundant -- nm - pigby Jan 3, 14:42 2
- Sure it did... because if it was good enough to be BP, then it would win Foreign Language automatically (which it did) - secretslacker Jan 3, 14:45 1
  - Becuase 99% of the time, the Best Animated movie isn't good enough to reach Best Picture status, just like 95% of the time Best Foreign isn't - Will Hunting Jan 3, 16:21
Just like Beauty and the Beast did. -- nm - TFox Jan 3, 14:41 7
- Did the Best Animated category exist then? I can't recall when it was introduced. -- nm - TWuG Jan 3, 14:42 1
  - No, it didn't. That's my point. I do think that Stanton should get nominated for Director - secretslacker Jan 3, 14:46
- Oh wait, there wasn't one then. Even still, I think this is a dumb reason. -- nm - TFox Jan 3, 14:42 4
  - It's already guaranteed to win an Oscar... why knock another worthy candidate out of the category? -- nm - secretslacker Jan 3, 14:47 3
    - I dislike the Animated category because it treats animation as a genre. It's akin to having a Best Gangster Film Oscar. Either an - TWuG Jan 3, 14:53 1
      - No, that's a good point but there's an entirely different technique for production when making an animated film that doesn't apply for live action - secretslacker Jan 3, 15:03
    - Because they aren't as worthy as Wall-E. You are advocating the Special Olympics Oscars. - TFox Jan 3, 14:48
