Up Wins Best Picture at the Annie Awards
February 8, 2010 - 9:50 am
I was really surprised Up was nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, on top of being nominated for Best Animated Picture. I don’t believe it will over Avatar or The Hurt Locker, but I think that it has Best Animated Picture locked in.
