I'm just saying that because all things being equal (both movies are masterpieces), it seems like this is a no-brainer decision by the academy because not once have they picked a rated G film over a higher-rated movie with socio-political themes. If Ratatouille wins this, it should be considered an upset. <BR/><BR/>I suppose the shame is that one of these movies have to lose, and the one that does will be lumped in with the likes of "Surf's Up" or "Bee Movie" as a "mere" 2007 Best Animated Feature nominee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-82184682021377688322007-12-11T14:09:00.000-08:002007-12-11T14:09:00.000-08:00The money is on Persepolis with Ratatouille being ...The money is on Persepolis with Ratatouille being a strong second. I tend to feel that Persepolis will win, but would love for Brad Bird's little film to be the upset. If Persepolis wasn't in the running, Remy would easily win this years award.

Persepolis just has "upset" written all over it. The academy seems to love these "indie-style" films. I haven't seen it yet so I can't judge, but Ratatouille was just a masterpiece. It would be a shame if it lost just because the academy thought the content in Persepolis was more mature (and hence better).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
