Disney have started their campaign pushing “
WALL – E” – the cutest robot ever – for a nomination in both
Best Animated Feature and
Best Picture Oscar, an award never won by an animated film, at the upcoming
Academy Awards starting with a campaign this week.
Walt Disney Studios Chairman
Dick Cook told the New York Times, “If we didn't do it, I don't think we'd be giving the movie its due.”
Only one animated film has ever had the honor to be nominated in the Best Picture category, Disney's 1991 film “
Beauty and the Beast,” before the Academy started the Best Animated Picture award in 2001.
wall-e!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can believe best animated feature, but best picture all around is kind of pushing it. I loved WALL-E, great story and kept me interested. Maybe they are just going to far.
