I loved Wall-E, but I don't think it deserves best original screenplay. As terrific as the movie is, "Wall-E! EEEEVAH! Wall-E! EEEEEVAH! Directive? EEEEEVAH!" just isn't oscar material.

There's more to the screenplay than the dialogue. All the actions had to be described in detail as well and, considering how actions are as integral to the film (if not more so than the dialogue), I feel it was deserving of the nod.

Wall-E was so cute. I was forced to watch it, but I'm glad I did. For a movie with very minimal dialogue due to the very nature of the characters I was super impressed how the creators evoked such strong emotion.
Yes, I kinda cried. But only for the eerie resemblence of the very obese people who rarely moved and brushed their teeth with my stepfather's parents. Hehe cruel I know.

I think it should be nominated for Best Movie not just Best Animaed Movie. I agree 100%. It's a shame, though, that the AMPAAS screwed the pooch with not nominating this or The Dark Knight. Two words for them: Ratings disaster.

^ Yeah, but, don't you think a happy movie deserves a Best Picture nod, not just the sad and depressing ones like that??
