Best animated feature film of the year
\n<\/strong>* “Bolt” (Walt Disney), Chris Williams and Byron Howard
\n* “Kung Fu Panda” (DreamWorks Animation, Distributed by Paramount), John Stevenson and Mark Osborne
\n* “WALL<\/span>-E” (Walt Disney), Andrew Stanton<\/p>\n

Achievement in music written for motion pictures (Original score)<\/strong>
\n* “WALL<\/span>-E” (Walt Disney), Thomas Newman<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Achievement in music written for motion pictures (Original song)
\n<\/strong>* “Down to Earth” from “WALL<\/span>-E” (Walt Disney), Music by Peter Gabriel and Thomas Newman, Lyric by Peter Gabriel<\/p>\n

Achievement in sound editing
\n<\/strong>* "WALL<\/span>-E" (Walt Disney), Ben Burtt and Matthew Wood
\n
\nAchievement in sound mixing
\n<\/strong>* “WALL<\/span>-E” (Walt Disney),Tom Myers, Michael Semanick and Ben Burtt
\n
\nOriginal screenplay
\n<\/strong>* “WALL<\/span>-E” (Walt Disney), Screenplay by Andrew Stanton, Jim Reardon, Original story by Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter<\/p>\n

And Presto:
\nBest animated short film
\n<\/strong>* “La Maison en Petits Cubes” A Robot Communications Production, Kunio Kato
\n* “Lavatory – Lovestory” A Melnitsa Animation Studio and CTB<\/span> Film Company Production, Konstantin Bronzit
\n* “Oktapodi” (Talantis Films) A Gobelins, L’\u00e9cole de l’image Production, Emud Mokhberi and Thierry Marchand
\n* “Presto” (Walt Disney) A Pixar Animation Studios Production, Doug Sweetland
\n* “This Way Up”, A Nexus Production, Alan Smith and Adam Foulkes<\/p>\n

I think WALL<\/span>•E’s a shoe-in for Animated feature and has big promise in the sound and music categories, I also really hope it wins Best screenplay! In the shorts department, Presto is a big contendor although Oktapodi was great too.<\/p>\n

I am extremely proud of WALL<\/span>•E’s 6 nominations (the most ever for an animated film aside from Beauty and the Beast’s 6), even though it got snubbed from Best Picture, you have to be greatful that the Academy is recognizing this risky, bold and highly entertaining masterpiece!<\/p>\n

Congratulations, Andrew Stanton, Jim Reardon, Ben Burtt, Thomas Newman, Doug Sweetland and everyone at Pixar!<\/p>\n
