It was staying strong going into Oscar nominations morning.Īt the 76th Academy Awards, “Finding Nemo” ultimately made it into four categories - Best Score for Thomas Newman, Best Sound Editing for Gary Rydstrom and Michael Silvers, Best Original Screenplay for Stanton, Bob Peterson and David Reynolds, and Best Animated Feature for Stanton. The movie won Best Animated Feature at the Critics Choice Awards, and it received two nominations at the BAFTA Awards - Best Original Screenplay and the Children’s Award for Best Feature Film. But things were looking good for “Finding Nemo,” especially when it was nominated for Best Motion Picture Comedy/Musical at the Golden Globes and won tons of critics’ prizes for Best Animated Feature. A Pixar submission hadn’t yet won that gold trophy, with “Shrek” winning Best Animated Feature in 2002 and “Spirited Away” taking the prize in 2003. With the rave reviews and stellar box office, “Finding Nemo” was on track to be a major awards player in early 2004, especially with the Animated Feature category at the time only being three years old.
Most of the nation’s critics loved the film, including Moira MacDonald in Seattle Times, who said it’s “enchanting written with an effortless blend of sweetness and silliness, and animated with such rainbow-hued beauty, you may find yourself wanting to freeze-frame it.” And Lou Lemenick in New York Post called it “a dazzling, computer-animated fish tale with a funny, touching script and wonderful voice performances that make it an unqualified treat for all ages.” SEE Pixar’s ‘Elemental’ snags closing night slot at Cannes 2023
