My picks

- Cars
- Happy Feet
- Monster House

Since there are so many animated films this year, I think it will be five nominees-
1. Monster House
2. Cars
3. A Scanner Darkly
4. Flushed Away
5. Over the Hedge

Cars
Monster House

Ugh, I thought "Monster House" was terrible, but I loved "Cars" and "Over the Hedge".

Cars
Renaissance
A Scanner Darkly

I haven't heard of Renaissance. When is it released?
Might Everyone's Hero get a sympathy nomination, considering it's Christopher Reeves' last movie?

how can people hate Monster House when it was definatly the best animated film of the year.

If three

Monster House
Cars
Over the Hedge

if five

Monster House
Flused Away
Over the Hedge
Cars
Ant Bully

Cars will win so i won't bother

I personally found the scripting for Monster's House really awful. The dialouge and character development etc, were not particularly stunning. It's not bad for an attempt at a more horrific and macabre form of animation. But to me, at most it's a popcorn movie you watch during your free tim, not award-winning standard.

If three:

1. Cars
2. Happy Feet
3. Rennaissance

If five:

1. Cars
2. Happy Feet
3. Rennaisance
4. Monster House
5. Over the Edge

6. Flushed Away
7. Arthur and the Minommoys
8. A Skanner Darkly
9. Open Season
10. ?

what determins the amount of nominees in this category?

1. Happy Feet
2. Flushed Away
3. Cars

I'm going with Happy Feet.
If not that, than Monster House.

"what determins the amount of nominees in this category?"

If there are 15 or less films in consideration, then there are 3 nominees. If there are 16 or more, there are 5. Thus, this year will have 5 nominees (I'm only about 75% sure, so don't quote me, lol).

I hope this will not offend anyone,

Well, there will be 5 nominated films. Here are my 5 predicted films in no order

CARS
FLUSHED AWAY
HAPPY FEET
MONSTER HOUSE
OVER THE EDGE

Happy Feet is directed by George Miller. You know, the guy who made Mad Max and Babe. I hear its not just a simple cgi film about dancing penguins, but that the trailer hid a lot of the picture's darker/political elements. That combined with bix box office numbers could propel it to the top 3.

Tom O'Neil of GoldDerby noted that there are 16 contenders for the five slots. Thus, there will definitely be five this year, and they will be:

Cars
Flushed Away
Happy Feet
Monster House
Over the Hedge

It's the easiest race to predict, but the hardest to call a winner (or one of them).

I'm thinking...Cars.

**Over the Hedge** (Pixar has lost to DreamWorks before)
Cars
Happy Feet
Ice Age: The Melt Down
Curious George (not likely, but I've always loved the books and thuroughly enjoyed this film.)

Dreams are like taco salad. Although they may be fresh, one day they will be gone!
