Which is a shame, since this year was an unusually deep field, and there are easily 5 films worthy of the nomination.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-34485724299397946152010-11-16T09:39:26.765-08:002010-11-16T09:39:26.765-08:00You know it's funny.

I've started to wonder if Lasseter and Co, didn't pull out of the Annies to avoid unfair practices at DreamWorks, but rather out of fear that by some weird quirk, Tangled might come out on top of TS3. Can you imagine what a grenade that would be?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-22808664368017364982010-11-15T23:55:23.207-08:002010-11-15T23:55:23.207-08:00Tangled will definitely be on the short list.

Might be TS3-Dragon-Tangled anyway, but that would depend how disappointing "Illusionist" is.<br /><br /><i>I'm so old I can remember when the Acadamy Awards happened in April.</i><br /><br />(<i>sigh</i>...So can I. :(<br />That was when the committee had time to think up their own nominations.
