(Cartoon) Lambs to the Slaughter

Have you ever heard of Sword of the Stranger, $9.99 or Delgo? They're just a few of the fourteen animated titles that AMPAS will be considering in its ghetto Best Animated Feature category. You know the one. The category that will prevent WALL•E from going where Beauty & the Beast (deservedly) went: straight into the Best Picture race.


But there can be only 3 nominees. Is there anybody anywhere who doesn't think that's going to be WALL•E, Kung Fu Panda and Waltz With Bashir? I've updated the animated Oscar page with links to official sites for each of these eligible films. So if you're curious about Fly Me to the Moon, have at it. Mercifully, Space Chimps and The Clone Wars aren't being considered.
