| Cars 2 stalled on Oscar's pit row. |
But, for Disney and Pixar to get shut out of the Best Animated Feature category? Inconceivable!
In the eleven-year history of the category, only in 2005 did Disney and Pixar both fail to have a film nominated for Best Animated Feature.
Until today.
Neither Cars 2 nor Winnie the Pooh--both underrated films--failed to get Oscar nods. The nominees were:
A Cat in Paris
Chico & Rita
Kung Fu Panda 2
Puss in Boots
Rango
The surprise nominations were the French feline mystery-adventure A Cat in Paris and the Spanish musical romance Chico & Rita. These are two films I've yet to see--but they've definitely been added to my watch list. Of the three nominees I did see, Gore Verbinski and Johnny Depp's Rango is my favorite for its sheer strangeness.
Pixar fared better in the Animated Short Film category, with La Luna receiving a nomination.
The Oscars will be presented in Hollywood on February 26.
