Does UP deserve an Oscar Nomination for BEST FILM?

I think it has a chance to get nominated because of the 10 spots, and a somewhat weak year for movies.

But the big difference between Up and Avatar, is that the latter would be nominated even if there were only 5 spots, so the "If the blue alien cats can be nominated, why can't Up" is the weakest of the arguments provided.

You don't ignore a movie that makes almost $2 billion in barely a month and a half.

Really?? For once I thought Up was the only Pixar film to surpass the short at the start, Though Wall-e is my fave, presto the short was quite awesome!

And the Blue alien argument is just point that, if you can nominate a film with Blue aliens in, what so wrong with nominating an animated film. I do see where you come from though.
