Good info...since the entire title of the thread is not visible in the home page, I thought that "W" had won.

Having seen the movie twice on BD. Wall-e is a visual/audio feast but in no way can I see it as best film.

Best animated film......sure.

That's a lot of love for The Wrestler. Makes me want to see it even more.

As much as I loved Slumdog, I would love to see Wall*E take best picture at the Oscars but I do not think it will happen

I hope that Let The RIght One In gets noms for Oscars too, very upset that it did not get Golden Globe nominated.

I disagree with Wall*E winning best picture, The Wrestler should get the best picture, its a damn good movie.

I really enjoyed Wall*E, but I don't think it's the Best Picture of the year.

Wall*E was fantastic and blew my wife and I away at what are expectations were. Can't say enough good things about it and it was a moving movie as well regarding wall*e and eve's relationship.
