    I would have liked to have seen “Surf’s Up” instead of “Shrek the Third”.

    Congratulations to the nominees.

    No Persepolis? Unless it hasn’t been released in Britain yet?

    I absolutely agree with Floyd about Surf’s Up. Unfortunately, it was probably snubbed because of “Happy Feet” last year. Lame.

    I’m certain “Our” Simpsons will win! (JK) But, congrats to all of yours, mine and ours, nominations! I second….make that “third”, the “Surf’s Up” omission. Beautiful film that’s having a tough time getting any respect.

    Why does The Simpsons Movie list the producers under the Animated Film nominees, while Ratatouille and Shrek the Third list the directors? Shouldn’t David Silverman be giving the credit for The Simpsons Movie?

    No, Persepolis hasn’t been released here yet. IMDB says April.

    Christopher Olson says:

    Why only three nominees and not five? Were there too few animated films to choose from?

    I’m with Floyd - why is “Surf’s Up” not gettin’ the love?
