Disney is shut out! No nominations for Cars 2 or for Winnie The Pooh! I need to see the first two and then I will be able to decide which one is my favorite. I just feel that this past year was a bad year for animation in general. No clear standout films.
Best original song
"Man or Muppet:
"Real in Rio"
I was surprised that "Life's a Happy Song" was not nominated. Hopefully "Man or Muppet" wins!
Who do you think is going to win?
