I really hope 'Cars' does not win for best animated film, the most disappointing Pixar film IMO. 'Ant Bully' and even 'Hoodwinked' were much better and more entertaining (EW raved about 'Hoodwinked' and I agreed)
no nom for 'Bleak House' for Best Picture Made for Television for shame. 'When the Levees Broke' is a documentary and IMO should not be counted in this catagory.
I have yet to see 'Shut Up and Sing' since its from acclamied director Barbara Koppel, yet the documentaries that stood out for me included was 'Iraq in Fragments'.
what - there's no competition here, it's going to Iwo Jima by a landslide
