hooray! this is great news about a great film!
too bad it didn't pick up one of it's other nominated awards, although each nomiantion is certainly an honor.
Yeah, I was a bit disapointed, too, that 'Rat' didn't pick up any other awards. But 5 nominations is certainly pretty cool.
Yeah, it should have also won Best Original Score, and it should have been nominated for Best Original Song. Anyway, I'm soooo happy that it won Best Animated Film. Totally deserved.
Cool! Ratatouille is a masterpiece and my favourite animated movie. Congratulations!
