I realize it’s not going to happen… but I’d love to see a nomination for “My Dog Tulip”. Easily, one of the best animated features of the year.

For tomorrow’s round-up, perhaps?

Alice in Wonderland, Inception and Toy Story 3 were all nominated for Best Score Soundtrack at the Grammys (along with Avatar and Sherlock Holmes). No song from a 2010 film made the cut in the song category.

Then again, they nominated Woody Allen for a Best Spoken Album, so there.
