Wall Street Journal fordert eine "Bester Film"-Nominierung für WALL•E


Es geht weiter: Wall Street - Kolumnist Joe Morgesnstern, der sich in seinem neusten Artikel mit den Oscar-Chancen von WALL•E befasst, meint nun auch, dass WALL•E nicht nur den Oscar für den "besten Animationsfilm", sondern auch den für den "besten Film" verdient hätte. Disney und Pixar sollte sich für so eine Ehre auch richtig hinter die Promotion ,und alles was zur Kampagne gehört, klemmen:

In keeping with its singular distinction, Pixar's latest gift to movie lovers should be a candidate for the most prestigious award, Best Picture, when Oscar time rolls around. And the time to start the drumbeat is now, because the path to that nomination is strewn with prickly practicalities and marked by timeworn doubts.
[...]
To that I say, right on, and to Disney, which now owns Pixar, I say, when the time comes, do the right thing -- put "WALL-E" up for the Best Picture nomination it so richly deserves. To be sure, the strategy entails risk. While a Best Animated Feature nomination would almost certainly bring a Best Animated Feature Oscar -- I mean no disrespect to other contenders, it's just that "WALL-E" is playing its own game by its own rules -- a bid for Best Picture might not end in Academy-sanctioned victory. But a champion mustn't be kept from competing with other champions. Such a dazzling light shouldn't be hidden beneath a splintering bushel.
