The second animated film to be nominated for Best Picture was “ Up,” which was nominated in 2010 alongside “Avatar,” “The Blind Side,” “District 9,” “An Education,” “Inglourious Basterds,” “Precious,” “A Serious Man,” “Up in the Air,” and Best Picture winner “The Hurt Locker.” “Up,” which was directed by Pete Doctor and Bob Peterson, also won two Oscars - Best Original Score for Michael Giacchino and Best Animated Feature. The movie lost Best Sound to “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” while Best Picture went to “The Silence of the Lambs.” The other Best Picture nominees that year were “Bugsy,” “JFK,” and “The Prince of Tides.” The Best Picture nomination for “Beauty and the Beast” was even more notable as it came before the inception of the Best Animated Feature category, which was created in 2002.
Directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise, “Beauty and the Beast” was nominated for six Oscars: Best Picture, Best Sound, Best Original Score, and thrice for Best Original Song for “Be Our Guest,” “Belle,” and “Beauty and the Beast.” The movie won Best Original Score (for Alan Menken) and Best Original Song for “Beauty and the Beast” (for Menken and Howard Ashman). “ Beauty and the Beast” was the first animated movie to do so, landing a Best Picture bid in 1991.
