Oh boy. Any hope you may have of Roland Emmerich either disappearing off the face of the earth or directing a film that doesn’t obliterate society has probably been shattered. 2012 has made some serious bank: $225 million worldwide, which Variety calls the fifth best international opening of all time.

Having only been introduced in 2001,”Best Animated Feature” is a fairly new category for the Oscars. Since then, the Academy has only had three nominees in the category every year. This year, however, it’s looking like that might change.
