When it comes to voice acting, the ones who manipulate their voice are recognized more often than those who use their natural speaking voice. These tend to go to supporting characters.

I've added the totals. Coraline beats out Up with 10 nominations to Pixar's 9. That's fairly common for these guys. Last year, Kung Fu Panda ended up with 17 nominations to WALL-E's 7. Usually, this group's top nominated film ends up with an Oscar nomination.
2007: Ratatouille (11) to Surf's Up (8) & The Simpsons Movie (4)
2006: Cars (9) to Over the Hedge (8), Flushed Away (8), Happy Feet (1) & Monster House (6)
