I'm pretty happy with the nominations for Best Animated Feature, and don't think I would have made any different choice as far as that's concerned, but I think the hands down winner has to be "Ratatouille." As far as the other categories, I'll keep my mouth shut (for once) because I frankly don't know a lot of the pieces that are listed well enough to comment on.
