Disney/Pixar's Oscar Battle Royale begins!

[allystoybarn]

The Academy Awards nominations were announced last night, and while some choices may have been somewhat obvious (see Daniel Day-Lewis, and Anne Hathaway), there were a couple of surprises. 

Not least in the Best Animated Feature Film where Disney sees three nominations, for Brave, Frankenweenie, and Wreck-It Ralph!

The category is filled out by nominations for Laika's ParaNorman and Aardman's The Pirates! Band of Misfits.

So, and I realise that this may be a tricky question, which would you like to see win?

Also, any reactions to nominations for any other categories?

I have a love-hate relationship with awards season and with the Best Animated Feature category in general, but I'll save that for my own blog.

I'm torn. I can't decide between rooting for Wreck-It Ralph, though I have yet to see it, and ParaNorman because it was a brilliant film that was sadly greatly overlooked.

Having seen both Wreck-it Ralph and ParaNorman... I'm so torn, too. I really can't decide. I mean, I'll be happy if either of them wins.

I'm also really surprised that all three of Disney's animated films got noms this year. Good for them.

I haven't seen it, but I'm guessing wreck-it ralph. Either that, or brave

I loved Pirates, but I also really love Brave. It'd be apples and oranges to compare the two, they're both very meticulously done in their own ways - but if I have to say which one I think would be more deserving of the award, I'd say Brave. Pixar really, really pushed the boat out for this one, and it deserves to be recognised.
