Waltz with Bashir, who outside of Wall-E was the next highly acclaimed animated film was shut out too? I smell something nefarious afoot. I guess that's what you get if you didn't open up enough to become a "gold sponsor" No knock on Kung Fu Panda, I found it fun and enjoyable, but C'mon! It was your typical "vanilla" animation. Well, it's ok, though I've questioned the integrity of the Oscars over the past years, I have faith they will restore order come the 22nd.

But this list of winners still begs the question: why? If it's because DreamWorks is a bigger sponsor then this award has some serious issues in their voting that have to be worked out if anyone is to ever take them seriously. The only other explanation I can come up with is they want to stir up controversy pre-Oscars to draw attention to themselves. In which case they're just as pathetic.

Wall-E was the best animated film of the year, and 2nd best was Waltz with Bashir. I liked KFP but in no way is it in the same pedestal as those two. It's all good though, the big prize is still gonna be Wall-E's on the 22nd @netbug,

KFP was good, but it is NOT in the same league as Wall-E. Wall-E has the Oscar animated award in the bag, and is a threat to bring home a couple more. There's no way it will lose the animated oscar, heck, it was nominated for orig. screenplay to boot. No Worries here, folks, sure it’s a travesty and all that, but I bet Pixar is not worried.

I mean, I like KFP, a lot, but.... I was surprised when it didn't get a nom for best score or best story, but.... who rigged the voting? Seriously? WALL-E totally missed some important noms it should have gotten. Please note, Dreamworks is a higher sponsor. Just... wow. Wow, and just when I'd been saying that the Annies were who we could depend on when the Oscars had a dumb bias. I was hoping KFP would snag a few, but this... is really dumb and unfair. ….Wow, the Annie Awards of all places. I mean, I like KFP, a lot, but….
