Best Non-Aminated Non-Documentary Feature Film Made By Americans! -- nm - Roger More Feb 23, 12:24
so, only live action dramatic films can ever be the best film of the year? that's very narrow and, well, archaic. -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 12:23 9
- But is 95% of the nominations they make -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Feb 23, 12:25 1
  - it is, but i don't think that should the *rule*. if something transcends it's designated separate category, give it the recognition it deserves. -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 12:28

  - Cuz there's a shortage of winning live-action movies? - Will Hunting Feb 23, 12:28
  - I'd be way more in favor of this than banning animated movies from best pic. -- nm - TFox Feb 23, 12:27 4
    - as if director and best picture don't overlap enough as it is? -- nm - znufrii Feb 23, 12:28 2
      - It's dumb, but less dumb than forcing Wall-E to move to the back of the bus. -- nm - TFox Feb 23, 12:30 1
        
        fair enough. -- nm - znufrii Feb 23, 12:31
    - I could agree with animation being included were this oscar enacted. -- nm - Loyola Feb 23, 12:28
