Good luck Wallace & Gromit!

GOOD LUCK!

Go W&G!!!

wooooooooooooop!

Get in there!

It must win!

woo congrats!

Nice!

Yippee!

got some serious competition tho

I'm certain I will watch the Oscars!

I wish i had pay TV to watch the oscars, but if its on normal TV then i WILL definately watch it!!!!!!!!!!

ITS ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Wow, this will be the first time that I watch the Oscar nomination! Thank you for that brilliant tip and @W&G: WIN!

I'm chuffed to mintballs that the ANP is up for another Oscar. Jamie G is correct in that there is serious competition but AMOLAD is brilliant all round. All the best to the ANP and another shelf ordered from IKEA...and don't forget the halogen lights!

I dont know about you but I LOVED the Gruffalo!

I agree Jamie - The Gruffalo had some pretty good animation in that.
And a great voice cast.

Go &!!!!!

GOOD LUCK & !!

As for the Animated Feature nomination, I hope The Secret of Kells wins - I spoke to one of the producers a few years ago when the idea was in its infancy and it's truly a beautiful piece. W&G and Secret of Kells for the gold fellas! Prayers.

WOW! That is great news! YAY for Nick Park and all those who worked on AMOLAD!

I agree! Excellent work!

WAHOOO! well done and GOOD LUCK!

AMOLAD MUST WIN!

Gooooooood luck

yeah amolad must win

Not long now until the winners are announced - everyone at Aardman will be keeping our fingers crossed when we go to bed on Sunday evening!

"Go to bed"?! Surely you'll all be staying up! haha

Good luck Aardman!

The ANP is in the new edition of the TV Times!

I'm keeping everything crossed for the ANP and the Almighty Aards on Oscar night. AMOLAD is another deserving masterpiece!

Yes, it could be a late night/early morning! Will anyone else be staying up to watch?

I would stay up to watch if I could see it here! But poorly I still haven't found out where and when I can see it and on which channel! I think it won't be shown at TV here in Germany what would be very bad =(

yeah me katie

It will be to late for me!

Yeah it is pretty late - it won't start until about 2am UK time (I think) so it's a bit late if you're at school the next day.

Still, I'm sure there'll be lots of people on the site on Monday morning to talk to about it

My Sunday evening then:

8:00pm-9:00pm - Lark Rise to Candleford (highlight of the week!)
9:00pm-2:00am - Catching up with programmes I've been recording
2:00am - Oscars!

Haha!

Katie - do you know who will be there from Aardman?

Dave, Pete and Nick will all be there - the rest of us will be biting our nails back at Aardman HQ!

Good idea
Do you know at which channel and at which time the oscars will be shown here in Germany? Because I've searched the whole web (ok, not the whole but every possible page) but have nothing found yet

If you'd an idea where and when the oscars are shown that would be fantastic!

what about in Australia? (if they're even on in here)

i dont think they are

Tomorrow I can tell you guys who won the Oscar for it! It's at 8 or 7 where I'm at.

oh god its today I wantand to win but everyone else wants granny o (something)s Sleeping Beauty

i will certainly be watchin', kinda weird to think that nick, steve, and peter are in the same country as me,

Bad news guys, Wallace and Gromit lost the Oscar to Logorama.

Oh no!

Never mind - we still have the animation BAA awards coming up shortly.

I loved the bow tie Nick Park was wearing .

Oh well,Atlest they were nominated!!!

Nick is still a WINNER to me... and the world wide world.

He'll be back!

I agree, SockEye! Nick is a winner no matter what!

Ah well, you can't win 'em all... Well done Logorama!
We still have our BAFTA!

thats too bad, i didnt really like logorama, but i love nick's tie that he wore! i love bow ties, i wear 'em to school

Do you think the ANP will let me borrow his bow tie for St Patrick's Day? Yay, Fish and Ursrut, my old pals, Nick is a 24 carat gold WINNER.

I was looking forward to some handsome pictures and features of Nick and a hard-earned Oscar in the papers and, possibly, 'Hello' mag but... as GLB has said, you can't win 'em all!

What irritates me is when some people in the press say he is a "former" Oscar winner. Piggin' 'ecky pecky, he doesn't hand his Oscars back in the same way as people do when they win boxing matches or The Rose of Tralee or owt like that!

There is still a 5th Oscar with your name on it, Nick - all in God's good time!
