Overnight, Cars<\/i> has picked up three awards! One at the 2007 Grammy Awards<\/a> and two at the 2007 Annie Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To start, Randy Newman won the award for the Best Song Written for Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media<\/span> for Our Town<\/span> at the Grammy’s. The song was written by Randy Newman and sung by James Taylor. Cars<\/i> just missed out on the Best Compilation Soundtrack Album<\/span> award (won by Walk The Line<\/i>) and the award for Best Solo Rock Vocal<\/span> (won by Bob Dylan). Congratulations Randy on the win!<\/p>\n

And secondly, Cars<\/i> brought home the award for the Best Animated Feature<\/i> at the 34th Annual Annie Awards. Cars<\/i> beat its other contenders, including Happy Feet<\/i>, Monster House<\/i>, Over the Hedge<\/i> and Open Season<\/i>.
\nCars<\/i> also brought home the award for the Best Music from a Feature<\/i>, for Randy Newman (Again, congratulations Randy!).<\/p>\n

Unlike previous years, no one film dominanted the awards this year. John Lasseter praised the other filmmakers who have together released more than 12 animated films this year. <\/p>\n

“What a year we’ve had in animation,”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/span> said John.<\/p>\n

Overall, a big congratulations to everyone at Pixar and everywhere else who all played a role in making Cars<\/i> the success that it is. A well-deserved pat on the back is in order!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
