It's finally reaching that time of the year: The Oscars. Or well, the build up to it. Where we begin to wonder, who the fucks gunna be nominated? Well. I don't know. I just predict. I tend to be wrong, but it won't stop me. Anywho. I have my first bit of Oscar news and I'm sharing it with you all. 18 animated films have been submitted for consideration for Best Animated Feature. There are certain qualifying rules, the main one being that each film has to have a theatrical release. For the award to be presented at all, 8 animated films must be released in theaters in Los Angeles County.
Looking at the past 10 years, Disney/Pixar has won the award 6 times. But all they really have this year is Cars 2, so it'll be a nice change to see who wins it. You have The Adventures of Tintin, Rango, Kung Fu Panda 2, and Puss In Boots that are all going to be big players. To check out the rest of the list, plus to see Warner Brothers For Your Consideration sites, hit the jump.
Here are the 18 submissions for Best Animated Feature:
- The Adventures of Tintin
- Alois Nebel
- Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked
- Arthur Christmas
- Cars 2
- A Cat in Paris

Warner Brothers is beginning to make their big push in the Oscars, promoting 5 of their biggest films: Contagion, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, Happy Feet Two, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, and J. Edgar. Each film has a legitimate shot at getting some nominations, and even a few wins possibly.
Here's the link to Warner Brothers: For Your Consideration, which will then allow you to go to each film and check out what they'll be pushing for. And when you check out Harry Potter, yeah, they're nominating just about everyone for Best Supporting Actor.
