Animated films may push Oscar category to 5 nominees for second time ever

It's been a highly animated year in the movie world.

So much so the Oscars ceremony in March could be expanding to accommodate more than the usual number of cartoony big-screen vehicles.

The animated feature race may have five contenders vying for the prize for the first time since 2002, according to Variety.

Under the Academy of Motion Arts & Sciences rules, there must be at least 16 eligible films in a year for there to be five nominees.

Twenty films have been submitted for consideration – including "Up," the high-flying balloon adventure, and "The Princess and the Frog," Disney's amphibian-themed musical.Read more:Here

Toy Story Turns "3"

As the Toy Story double feature starts loosing momentum in US theatres (more on that later) Toy Story 3 marketing is quickly creeping up from behind.

Toy Story.com has no small part in this shift between films. They’ve updated for the third installment in Pixar’s mega-popular franchise! New additions to the site are simple (so far) but a nice treat. 

The updated home page includes characters that are randomly displayed everytime you refresh the page, you may want to do that a few times. You’ll also find that the logo at the top center now represents the threequel as opposed to the double feature. A brand new game, Woody’s Big Escape, has also been added.

hoping we get to see more online content from Toy Story 3 soon!
