‘WALL-E’ going for the Gold?
LA Weekly blogger, Nikke Finke, is reporting that Disney willĂ‚ beĂ‚ pushingĂ‚ for its Wall-E to see a Best Picture nod.Ă‚ Ă‚ On her Deadline Hollywood Daily site, Nikke writes “I’m told that Disney and Pixar are going to push hardĂ‚ for a Best Picture Oscar nomination for Wall-E on the basis of its anti-toon moody darkness and rave reviews by critics who matter. Certainly many toons have tried for that high honor over the years, and then settled forĂ‚ ”just” a recently added Best Animated Feature nod.Ă‚ Only one animated movie has made it into the most competitive Academy Award category — Disney’s Beauty And The Beast in 1991 — but, alas, didn’t win.”Ă‚ Me thinks it has a better chance of winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature… we’ll see.
