83rd Academy Awards - Nominees2011-01-26
Yay!
Yesterday the Nominees for the Oscar race were known. And Toy Story 3 is nominated for Best Picture.
On the Animated Feature Film category there are 3 nominees:
"How to Train Your Dragon" - Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois
"The Illusionist" - Sylvain Chomet
"Toy Story 3" - Lee Unkrich
I'm not a huge fan of Toy Story, and I haven't seen The Illusionist yet, so between Dragons and Toy Story 3, I would go for Dragons.
You can see the complete list here.

Scrat Rock's!
In my opinion, Scrat is probably the best animated character, since the 50's. I mean, concept design, animation, entertainment value, etc.
Blue sky has done a great job not over using him, and I hope they keep it that way, by doing that, they always keep the audience interested, and myself nuts for more.
He was one of the reason's why I wanted to become an animator, even if at the time I didn't knew what takes to achieve it.
Anyway, here it is. Enjoy.
