The final tally is 7 of 24, and 7 of 17 for which they were nominated, although some categories had multiple nominations for the Mouse House. It would have been a slow night if not for Scott Rudin and the Coen brothers. And without Miramax, Disney would have only netted one award and that film originated in Pixar’s house before the merger. With fewer films from Walt Disney Pictures each year, expect this trend to continue.
Congratulations to all the winners and good luck next year to those who were nominated but not able to make that trip up to the stage for a little Oscar gold.
I was kind of surprised that Enchanted had 3 songs nominated. I really liked the movie, and the songs were good, but I was happy for Once. That is a great soundtrack.
I think it’s a shame that Disney didn’t get the Oscar for at least one of the three nominated songs from “Enchanted”, particularly the deserving, “How Do You Know?”. It was nice to see, however, the terrific performances by the adorable Amy Adams and Kristen Chenoweth.
