It's up against Toy Story 3, so it won't win.

That is all. A nomination will be nice though.

I don't think Summer Wars has a chance against Disney films, to be honest. At least it got nominated!

It won't beat Toy Story 3 as well it shouldn't, but pretty cool that it's there. Evangelion 2.0 should be there though I mean seriously

To be qualified is already great, if it does get nominated then it's even better! Of course, highly unlikely it'll win.

I enjoyed the film so much, so I'm glad that it got qualified. However, have you seen some the shit that nominated along with it? Oh god.

WTF, Cats ad Dogs? Why.

My favorite animation movies were nominated! I don't think Summer War will win though, Toy Story 3 and Despicable Me were just too awesome in my opinion.

Sometimes the most obvious movies don't win. Then again, it's Toy Story 3 so it probably will win.

Not bad. The last time an anime made it really big at the Academy Awards was Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, or Spirited Away. Let's hope Summer Wars does just as well.

Heard some rumours that the third nominated will be "tangled", can't give a proper opinion because haven't seen it...
That said, the rumours says that the 2 obvious first nominees are "Toy Story 3" and "How to train your Dragon", not sure about the second though...

Well, basically it will be a fight for getting the 3rd nomination, I am pretty sure Toy Story 3 and How to Train Your Dragon will get nominated, they are by far the most critically acclaimed animation movies of the year and both deserve the nomination imo.

It wasn't a horrible movie, but the writing really wasn't that good.

Nice, Summer Wars got nominated. I agree with most people and I personally think that it most likely won't win, but I think it's just because I'm too used to Western films and therefore have a passive bias towards them. I really liked Toy Story 3, but Summer Wars did give my heartstrings a little tingle as well.

Ah well, best of luck then :)

Guys, stop saying it has been nominated. It hasn't. It has only qualified for nomination. The same thing happened last year for Sword of the Stranger.

I just love how everyone is "It's good that it was nominated/qualified, but it won't win" lol

It was already time this movie appeared in the news again. Its hype seems endless, although it wasn't a fantastic film in my view. So, personally, I don't agree much on its qualifying.

Honestly, it was a great movie, and deserves to be nominated, and if it were any other year I'd be rooting for it to win, but Toy Story 3 came out this year.

It's good, maybe even great. Toy Story 3 is better though.

Just think Avatar didn't win best picture so Toy Story 3 may not either depending on what the Judging is base on hype or actual story line.
But, since the hype is greater then most of the other animated one's T.S. 3 will sadly win handedly the Oscar (glorified pat on the back).
A nomination is fair if it deserves to be.

Toy Story 3 and How to Train Your Dragon are shoe in's in my book; other than Summer Wars, the rest of that list looks laughable at best...

I doubt it will get the nomination. At least, there's not chance of winning against The Illusionist and Toy Story 3.

Prolly cause of the sweet CG style computer world it had is the reason why it even got qualified, since that is the only thing that was really above average when it comes to animation for that movie.
