the movie that i will be researching and follow over the next couple of weeks is the animated film UP. UP is only the second animated film to be nominated for best picture, the first being "Beauty of the Beast" which was long before the best animated feature category existed. It is somewhat of an underdog which many believe is only there because of the Oscars now accepting 10 nominees. As far as I can see there isn't really to much chatter about UP, maybe due to the fact that it is a commonly used word and not a recognizable title as some of the other nominees.
One nice little article i found talking about UP's nomination was from the site www.reuters.com, which wrote that:
"The Oscar buzz this year couldn't be higher for Pixar's "Up," not only for best animated category but for best picture, thanks in part to a lucky-to-be-born late blessing of 10 best-picture nominations (up from the usual five).
A double nomination also would create complications -- and not only for executives at Pixar and its Disney parent who might have to shell out some extra coin on a broader campaign.
Pixar and director Pete Docter might hope that the best-picture momentum will carry it to a victory in the animation category. But for some voters, it could slice the other way, prompting them to choose something else in animation because they've already put "Up" high on their best picture ballot. (In that sense, "Up" would be unlucky to be nominated twice.)"
This might not be good for UP, but of course anything could happen at the Oscars.
