Back in 1994, over lunch at a restaurant not far from Pixar Studios' base in Emeryville, Calif., four of the company's leading lights -- John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter and Joe Ranft -- were kicking around ideas for movies. Just as they were heading back to the office, Stanton threw out a question: "What if mankind left Earth and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off?" That was the genesis of "WALL-E," Pixar's ninth hit in a row and one of the most acclaimed animated features ever. Today, 14 years after it was conceived, Disney hopes it will become the first animated release since 1991's "Beauty and the Beast" to be nominated for a best picture Oscar. www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3ic9c6a9c4030ca00aa5fd3783aa102b29

It would be really neat if it did end up getting an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. But I don't see that actually happening for some reason.

I think it could and SHOULD get the nod, if not the win.
