WOW.
O.o
That's A LOT of animation.
Good gravy.
My prediction for the 5?
I'm guessing....erm.....
-Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
-Coraline
-Ponyo
-The Princess and the Frog
-...and Up

....and (yes, I know) 3 of those films were technically distributed by Disney, but the academy normally not only looks for quality of the film, but also has been known to single out anything that's anime, 2D animated, or stop motion.....especially because a majority of the people that vote are (or were once) 2D animators. Quite a shame.....Aliens, Kells, and Ice Age look promising as well...and I haven't even seen about 5 of the films up there yet......
^_^;;;;;

Which ones do you think will get nominated?
