Walle-e will not get nominated for Best Picture. The Best Animated Feature destroys its chances. No animated fill will ever reach the accomplishment of Beauty and the Beast. Yea Walle-E was not even nominated for a Best Picture [outside of animated] Golden Globe, where as Beauty and the Beast, and the Lion King all won Golden Globes. WALL E WILL NOT GET NOMINATED FOR BEST PICTURE, STOP TALKING ABOUT IT!

Here's a lesson for you since you clearly don't understand how the Golden Globes work (they are different from the oscars):

There are four film awards at the Golden Globes.

Best Picture Drama
Best Picture Comedy/Musical
Best Foreign Language Film
Best Animated Film

You can't be nominated in two of these categories. That means that you can't be a drama and a comedy, you can't be a foreign language film and qualify against the English-speaking films, and you can't even be a foreign language animated film (see Persepolis last year only getting one nomination at the Globes). So ever since 2006 when the award was implemented, Wall-E, Ratatouille, and Cars have been ineligible for the Comedy/Musical category.

The Oscars allow anything other than a short film to be nominated for Best Picture. It can be a foreign language film, a documentary, and yes, even an animated film. The category for animated films was so that even if they are not Best Picture material, they can still get the recognition they deserve. Not because they wanted to hinder its chances for Best Picture.

And this is coming from somebody who doesn't want Wall-E nominated because it's the most overrated movie of the decade behind the one with gay cowboys and the trilogy where they walk for 3 hours. Just don't make excuses as to why it can't be nominated, because it does have a decent shot.
