LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "WALL-E" and "Kung Fu Panda" were critical and commercial hits last year, making them near shoo-ins for Oscar nominations in the best animated film category.
The feature that might capture the third slot when nominations in all categories are announced on January 22 is less clear, though there are a number of worthy contenders.
Fourteen films were submitted for consideration. If two more films had sought a nomination, Oscar rules would have allowed for up to five films to make the final cut.
"BOLT" (DISNEY)
Directors: Byron Howard, Chris Williams
North American box office: $110 million
The art of urban painter Edward Hopper and 1970s cinematography were two major influences behind the look of "Bolt." That accounts for the painterly mien of urban scenes and a desaturated color palette, combined with such signature 1970s effects as lens flare and blooming.
Oscar odds: Everyone agrees the film delivers. It's a commercial crowd-pleaser, and Disney magic might pull this one out of a hat. It doesn't hurt that it's already garnered a Golden Globe nomination alongside "Kung Fu Panda" and "WALL-E."
"DELGO" (FREESTYLE RELEASING)
Directors: Marc F. Adler, Jason Maurer
North American box office: $695,000
"Delgo" has been in the works for years, the output of Fathom Studios' indie animation studio in Atlanta. It's the first animated feature for both the directors and studio.
Oscar odds: Kudos must be given to an indie animation house pulling off a feature -- and one with an A-list voice cast at that -- but lack of buzz and a late release probably make this a no-go.
"DR. SEUSS' HORTON HEARS A WHO!" (FOX)
Directors: Jimmy Hayward, Steve Martino Continued...
