Like its local legislature, the Washington, D.C. Area Film Critics Association<\/a> had some tough decisions to make this year.<\/p>\n

Of course, these votes won’t affect national security or create new laws but the group’s opinions should be of great interest to Pixar fans! Earlier, the Association nominated<\/a> Pixar’s 10th film for three awards including Best Film, Best Animated Film and Best Original Screenplay.<\/p>\n

After the votes were counted, Pixar went home with one award for Up: 2009’s Best Animated Film prize! This is the studio’s 3rd consecutive win in this specific WAFCA<\/span> category. As expected, Up in the Air (this year’s other respected "up") won Best Picture. The Association’s website only has noms posted right now<\/a> and will be updated tomorrow but you can check out the rest of the winners here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to the Up team! I look forward to other film critics association’s consensus in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
