The Oscars for animated features, since the Oscars themselves will always have their silly biases.  The Annie's do a bit as well, at least according to some sketchy rules for membership into their academy.  Anyhow, the winners:

And that's a sweep.  Does How to Train Your Dragon have the potential to fend off the giant Toy Story 3 for animated feature at the Oscars?  It is beloved and a fresher story...
