Does Pixar stand a chance at receiving an Academy Award Best Picture nomination this year? Kudos go to the Los Angeles Critics Assn. for picking Wall-E as the best film of the year and for backing Zhang-Ke Jia's Still Life – a picture that received a limited release in January and is being honored as Best Foreign and Best Cinematography by the group.

Matteo Garrone's Gomorrah and Paolo Sorrentino's Il Divo grabbed 5 nominations each with Toni Servillo getting nominated as best actor for his parts in both films.

This year there will likely be no omissions or screw ups such as last year’s mistake of leaving the Palme d’Or winner 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days out of the process and there won't be the usual favoritism towards already established directors.

I have to admit it: the New York Film Festival is my favorite.

So far, about one third (35 countries to be exact) of the 96 invited to submit their entry for the Academy Awards' Best Foreign Language Picture category have done so.
