Ratatouille was one my favorites as well and Disney is actually making a push so it could be nominated for Best Picture as well.

I've only seen three of those (No Country, Once, and Zodiac) but I'm going to try to see Atonement and Sweeny Todd in theater this week. Some of the others I will attempt to obtain through alternate avenues. :pirate I blame Hollywood, and their limited releasing and non-advertising of good movies.

0.000001% chance of it getting best picture nomination.
The 5 will be these 3 locks:
No Country For Old Men
There Will Be Blood
Juno
and 2 from these movies:
Into The Wild
Atonement
Sweeney Todd
The Diving Bell And The Butterfly
Michael Clayton

Thanks, GB, for adding the additional writers.

I'm pretty sure they came up with the Best Animated Film category just to ensure that there was no chance of that ever happening again.

Well it happened so rarely I doubt it was too much of a concern, did anyone really complain when Beauty & The Beast got a best picture nod? I would think it was added just to make sure animated films got some recognition but thats just me.

Beauty and Beast was nominated for Best Picture. Pixar's latest offering surpasses it in every way. But I see what you are saying, it's not the type of film is nominated in that category. But, hey, if Crash could win best picture, why not?

Eh, Ratatouille was amazing but it did not hit that critical amazement that B&tB got to get a best picture nod. B&tB came after a string of disappointing Disney films of the 80's it was a shock and a return to form.
Beast was in the right place at the right time, everything happened perfectly. Ratatouille is just another in a string of great pixar work.

glad to see Once do so well (even a first place!)
it seems to be a top 3 finisher on most year end lists

The Academy is a bunch of crotchety old codgers. If they really cared about animated films they'd let voice actors get nominated for Best Actor/Actress. Also they'd nominate movies that actually deserve it, as opposed to the ones that advertise the hardest. Watch Shrek 3 and Bee Movie get noms. Tekkonkinkreet? Probably not.

Shrek 3 won't get nominated. Also voice actors SHOULDNT be nominated. There is a lot more to acting than just your voice inflections. Body language and so forth are equally important.
Things like Andy Serkis as Gollum or Frank Oz as Yoda pre-CGI are different though, because they do everything not just the voice. Just voice acting is something that isnt impressive enough compared to real acting.
