Well given the nominations, it looks like Pixar will once more be tasting the sweet nectar of victory.

If not only for the fact Ratatouille was a great movie but also when you take into consideration its competition.

While Persepolis is a very good movie in it's own right, it may be considered a little too edgy for the academy to give the award to given the subject matter of the film.
And while Surf's Up was a good film with a clever narrative device (IE the Mockumentuary format) I honestly do not see it making much headway either. (And after all an animated penguin feature won the award last year, I just can't see lightning striking twice for our black and white flippered friends.)
