I agree that both Wall-E and TDK deserved Best Picture nominations. As both films are in my top 5. I’m not, however, surprised that neither got nominated.

When it is all said and done, however, I’m not sure that it will matter that much. Even if they had recieved Best Picture nominations neither would have won. It would have either gone to the undeserving Slumdog Millionaire or the incredibly deserving Benjamin Button just like it will in real life.

TDK meanwhile will win as many Oscars as whoever wins the big one and Wall-E will walk away with the Best Animated Feature award and years from now, when people talk about 2008 in terms of film, TDK and Wall-E will still be remembered as masterpieces.
