I would love to see an animated film to compete in Best Picture category again, first time after Beauty and the Beast. Ratatouille is a perfect one. And Best Director (Brad Bird)would be fantastic also. But the Academy isn t that open for such choices...

Amy Adams.

Is Disney pushing hard for her? I'm sure they've got the machine for it.
