Brave took home the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature tonight in a field of five great animated films. The general popular opinion in the media seemed to favor Wreck-It Ralph, but Pixar Portal readers had it right. The conclusion of our poll of yesterday left Brave with a wide lead over all other contestants.

While I agree that the storyline for Wreck-It Ralph is more original than that of Brave, I think that the sum total of Brave gives it a wide lead over the other nominees, and a well-deserved win.

Congratulations to Brenda Chapman, Mark Andrews and all of the crew and vocal talent for an exciting win tonight!

For the last month or so Pixar Portal readers have been casting their votes for the Oscars . . . sorta.

Out of 157 votes, it comes as no surprise that Brave easily takes the prize with 73.89%. We are, after all, Pixar fans. At second place, Wreck-It Ralph comes in at 19.11% of the vote. Outside of this blog, Wreck-It Ralph seems to be the popular choice for the winner this year, but Brave did take the Golden Globe, so you never know. We'll find out in a few short hours.
