"The Los Angeles Film Critics Assn. has named Disney/Pixar's "Wall-E" the best picture of the year, marking the first time in its history that it has given its top prize to an animated film."

Could it be? Wall-E is gonna be the first animation to win the Oscar for Best Picture?

In all respect, it was the best wide release movie of the year. The first 45 minutes with no dialog at all was GOLDEN.

GoYanks · 12-09-2008, 09:37 PM

I don't think so. From what I hear, Slumdog Millionaire, Milk, The Wrestler, Frost/Nixon... something along those lines.

it's not my favorite movie of the year, but i think it's very deserving of the award. i don't think milk will be that good.

I just love the fact the critics are even flirting with the idea of giving it the nod. It's a testament to how high Pixar has elevated the game of animation and therein, a return to excellent and dramatic storytelling. May not be the definitve best picture, but it definitely deserves a nomnation.

I thought that Wall E was an outstanding, top notch film. Hearing that it is getting some love is awesome! The animation was amazing, the story touching and at the same time very funny.

Slumdog is my favorite and best I have seen all year.

This movie doesn't deserve best picture from anything. It was good but not even close to being that good.

But how can you like that more than TDK? There is not Heath Ledger as the Joker, or does he make a cameo?

It's not necessarily a depressing ending since humanity is saved.
