A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

BADLY DRAWN BOY? So, because there are 20 eligible films for Best Animated Feature, there can be five nominees--interestingly, we have a mo-cap film (A Christmas Carol) and a live-action/animated hybrid (Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel) in play, but Avatar isn't running in the category. 3 stop-motion films may also be a record for the category, and right now, I'd guess Coraline and Fantastic Mr. Fox (which seems to be a return to form after a couple of major missteps for Wes Anderson, based on early Tomatometer, and is a top priority for me this weekend) join Up, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, and Princess and the Frog as your five nominees.
