No, you have not gone back in time, it seems that it’s still awards season for our favorite little robot!
WALL•E recently took home the Saturn Award for Best Animated Feature! The Saturn Awards honor the best in Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror and Action/Adventure/Thriller movies and TV. Of course, the ceremony was dominated by big summer blockbusters like The Dark Knight and Iron Man.
It’s ironic that around the same time the Academy announces that it will have 10 Best Picture nominees instead of 5, this awards show takes place. For now the Saturn’s are the only place where it’s a sure bet Sci-Fi and big summer movies will be treated equally. Last year, movies like WALL•E and The Dark Knight would’ve benefited from this change as well as the Oscars itself which are suffering in the ratings department. I guess a movie like WALL•E was needed to finally change this for movies like Up.
But this is a post about WALL•E’s millionth victory and not about bias at some ceremonies, just thought I’d bring that up! So congratulations to Andrew Stanton and the WALL•E crew for yet another extremely deserved award! Check out the full list of winners here and a list of nominees here!
