Disney Scores Eight Academy Award Nominations

The Walt Disney Studios has earned eight Academy Award nominations including Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song.

Early Oscar favorites Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson did not receive nominations for their roles at Walt Disney and P.L. Travers, and Saving Mr. Banks was shut out of the Best Picture category. The film did get nominated for Best Original Score.

Disney Movie Songs One Step Closer to Original Song Oscar

Yesterday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced a list of 39 songs that have the potential for bringing home the Oscar for Best Original Song at the 84th Annual Academy Awards. Songs from Disney movies accounted for almost 25% of that list.

The nine songs that could make the final nomination list include:

  • "The World I Knew" from Disneynature's African Cats
  • "Collision of Worlds" Disney/Pixar's Cars
  • "Hello Hello" and "Love Builds a Garden" from Touchstone Pictures' Gnomeo & Juliet

Disney Nabs Thirteen Academy Award Nominations

Earlier this week, the Oscar nominations were revealed with Disney coming in with a not-too-shabby total of thirteen nods.

It may come as no surprise Disney Pixar's Toy Story 3 leads Disney's nominations with five including Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Song, a nomination in the Sound Editing field, Best Animated Feature and, arguably the top prize, Best Picture.
