On the bright side, Tangled was only nominated for one song, which means that there's a better chance it could actually win. In the past, it has often hurt films to have more than one song nominated, since the voters split between them, giving the win to a third song from a different film. But if the votes for the two from the same movie had been for a single song, it would have won in a landslide. I recall something like that happening for Enchanted. Here's hoping that it works for Tangled...

TS3 doesn't seem to have the same amount of "animated" negativity that other animated features have. I can't back this up with anything other than knowing many voters and they all seemed to really think that TS3 was indeed well done. Some of these people are not that into animation. Of course, I don't know all 5700 voting members so I can't speak for them. But, we'll really never know.
