Make no mistake, Toy Story 3 made amazing trilogies possible and officially launched the animated phenomenon, kick-started in 1995, into ‘Greatest Trilogy Ever’ realms. The highest grossing and most-critically lauded film of 2010, Toy Story 3 was guaranteed an Oscar nomination after Up’s last year. Thanks to the extension of the nominations, Pixar gems are guaranteed to be included no matter what. Toy Story 3 winning the Best Animated Feature Oscar is probably the deadest cert of the night (yep, even ahead of Firth winning Best Actor), which will unfortunately detract from its likelihood of winning the Best Picture. It could happen! But it won’t…
Would it have been nominated before the 10-nomination rule?
Sadly not, the Academy would have settled for its Animated Feature nomination in the mindset that it will win - which is understandable really. At least animation films are being recognised! However, some could say that animation is being overlooked and should not have its separate category. A strong argument, but they would never win - even films as big as Toy Story 3 - if the category wasn't there. Just be thankful for its nomination and monumental completion. Random info: this is the first sequel to be nominated for Best Picture without any of its previous films...
