Should be an Easy BEST PICTURE nominee

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2007)

I'm going to keep this short. Back in 1991 the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences broke new ground by nominating Disney's Beauty and the Beast for Best Picture of the year. Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite animated films of all time.
Later to get around not having to nominate Animated movies in the Best Picture category; the academy drew up the Best Animated Picture Category. And that's great, because it allows them to spotlight the great Animated Pictures of the year.
Still, just as movies that are nominated for Best Foreign Film are also eligible for Best Picture nominations; I see no reason that Ratatouille would not be running in both categories at next years awards.
It's that good! No, I'm not going to say it's that good; I'm going to say it's better than that. It is the best movie I have seen this year, it may be the best movie I will see all year. It not only pulls at your heart strings and makes your eyes bulge out in absolute wonder. It also has one of the best crafted stories I have seen in a long time.
Why does Hollywood always forget the importance of a great story and a well crafted screenplay? I think they do it on purpose, so when movies like this come out, you wonder "So this is what good story telling is!" The writing in this film is so good, I want to give it the Oscar, The Tony, The Pulitzer Prize and all other writing awards it is completely ineligible for, just because the movie is a reminder of what all movies could be, given the proper time to have the tightest story, and best screenplay possible.
I'm definitely going to see it again, I'm going to tell everyone I know to go see, and honestly, I can't wait till the DVD comes out, and best of all... I can't wait till next winter, when I hear this name called out as a BEST PICTURE of the YEAR NOMINEE. There's no reason why this should not happen. It's practically written in the stars.
