Depressing that the best film in the lineup has earned the least.

Nitpicking here, but, Best Sound? Are they lumping all the Sound and Sound Editing nominees there? The Incredibles won Best Sound Editing and I think that’s the only win outside of a music or Animated Feature cat there’s ever been.
And I’m guessing they also left out Roger Rabbit due to its live-action content, even though by Academy rules, it would probably be eligible for best animated feature.
I think the only statistic that didn’t feel the need to include was that The Nightmare Before Christmas received a best visual effects nomination. And it’s more an animated film than Waltz of Bashir (in my mind, roto-scoping and motion-capture are technically not forms of animation).
Disappointing that Beauty and the Beast couldn’t have taken the Big Prize. Granted, I like Silence of the Lambs, but I can’t think of another time where a win could have been more conceivable.

Both “Up” and “Toy Story 3” need and asterisk.

Snow White won in 1937, not 1939.
Toy Story 3 could win Best Picture, but if Up couldn’t do it last year against Hurt Locker and Avatar, I doubt TS3 can defeat The King’s Speech or The Social Network.

For some reason I just don’t see The King’s Speech or The Social Network the same as Avatar and Hurt Locker.
Not sure if I’m just stubborn but I’m holding on tightly the chance the Toy Story 3 CAN win Best Picture!!!!
Go TS3

the misinformation of IMDB continues to proliferate across the internet!
IMDB lists awards based on the date the award given, therefore Gone with the Wind won the 1940 Best Picture oscar because the 1939 oscars were held in 1939. According to IMDB we have already awarded the 2010 Oscar, to The Hurt Locker and King’s Speech will be winning the 2011 Oscar.
it gets to be a pain in the ass when you see sites like this rely on IMDB for dates because they don’t know any better (note they do say awarded, so they are accurate with their terminology, even if the films are from years completely different than the years used to refer to the films.
This is also annoying when sites like Rotten Tomatos look for the Best Best Picture of each decade and Declare Gone with the Wind the Best Best Picture of the 1940s because Rotten Tomatos is too stupid to understand the distinction between 1939 and 1940.
