Why does everybody always say that Pixar movies should be nominated for Best Picture?
I mean, I agree but it won’t happen.

The Academy made a Best Animated Film category specifically for animated films.
So what are they going to do? Nominate UP for Best Picture in the animated and general Picture category?
If they were to nominate it in Picture and not in animated Picture then it completely shits on the animated category that they just created a few years ago.

Therefore,
UP will not be nominated for Best Picture. Duh.

But, Away We Go and My Sister’s Keeper are doing horribly on RT, so IDK about those.

In reply to nevada smith. Animated pictures are cartoons people. They're nice and all-the kids love them-but even the best of them can't match up to a comparable LIVE real movie. It's all well and good that there are companies lifting the cartoon form to enhance the genre (like Pixar is any different than Disney back in the day) but "Up" is NOT a Best Picture, UP is a cute cartoon. (I love getting you guys worked up).

In reply to SlashBeast.

Dent’s justification for the actions of Batman, in essence, undermines his belief in his own system. This only gives further credence to Dent being not so noble.

But, I don’t think I can do any more convincing.

Holy !@#$%W^& – Michael Jackson is dead!

In reply to SlashBeast. I have to say that you have some really good points. However, I disagree with your interpretation of the Roman Democracy speech. Maybe I am just looking at the surface but I saw that as his explanation for justifying the presence of Batman. The suspension of democracy was to protect the people. Since violence and crime in Gotham have gotten so much worse, Dent can rationalize Batman's actions. Even though Batman is essentially a vigilante, he is helping to protect Gotham. If things weren't bad, he would not be tolerated. But I do like what you have to say about Dent holding the gun to the man's head but overall I still don't find his character arc to be believable. Although, you and so many others did so they must have done something right.
