The standards of the Oscars ceremony require originality. There are some movies that are rejected because of emphasizing on the existing music. There are suggestions that the academy should have two categories of music. The first category should be dealing with the original music. The other category should be looking at the incorporation of music in a movie and determine its suitability. In most cases, an animated film does not receive the honor of being the best picture. However, ‘toy story 3’ is an animated film which has received nominations. It seems that the competition in the Oscars ceremony will be stiff as 3 films have been nominated in the animated film.
