It's up against tough competition, but I'd choose it over everything else to be honest. I hope it gets nominated!

I'd be more hopeful if 16 films were submitted, which would've raised the number of nominations to 5 instead of 3, but where it's at now it's incredibly unlikely to be nominated.

My guess is that it will be Wall-E, Bashir, and Kung-Fu Panda, with Wall-E winning.

That's quite likely, but I haven't given up hope on Sword of the Stranger yet.

The nominations are going to be announced on January the 22nd.

Eh, Sword of the Stranger being nominated wont do anime any favours, because its so shallow the idea that all anime although pretty but ultimately hollow will continue to prevail in the west. And crappy adaptations like Dragonball wont help.

Dont get me wrong I liked Sword of the Stranger, but the story was mediocre.

I don't think Kung-Fu Panga's going to make it.
Wall-E will be up there for sure.
I haven't watched either of the anime movies. I may have to.

For anyone who doesn't know, Sword of the Stranger didn't get nominated, neither did The Sky Crawlers. The final three nominations are...

WALL-E
Kung Fu Panda
Bolt

Predictable, but I'm surprised Waltz with Bashir didn't make it in. The awards will take place on the 22nd of February, although we all already know the winner.

Wall-E should win, no question. Even if Sword of the Stranger was nominated.

I don't understand why Kung Fu Panda or Bolt were even nominated. IMO, Sword of the Stranger is just as good as Wall-E if not better.

Wall-E is probably the worst movie I've seen in a few years. I am not even sure why I watched such trash. It shouldn't win anything.

Wall-E is trash, dont get me wrong I liked Western CGI movies like Nemo and Shrek, but Wall-E is just a waste of time

this will be the same thing when Final Fantasy went to the oscars, guess who the winner was? JIMMY NEUTRON!!! What the fuck was that????

Wall-E over kung fu panda...LOL! These Oscar peeps are seriously retarded
