Actually, only one of those years. Happy Feet beat Cars.

No, two. Monsters Inc. lost to Shrek in 2001. They had no new release in 2002 (Spirited Away) or 2005 (Wallace & Gromit).

Why do "animated" movies have their own category at the Oscars? Shouldn't scifi..comedy...horror all have their categories since, like Animated movies, they could get nominated, but seriously, will never win.

They should have a best picture category where all films compete..and sub-sections. I have thought this for years, and I think its time.

Oh, I thought this thread was going to be about doing an animated version of the Oscars instead of with live actors.
