In Pixar's hit film, when a shark attack leaves clownfish Marlin
(Albert Brooks) a widower with only his son Nemo (Alexander Gould) to care
for, he becomes an over-protective parent. And when Nemo is taken captive by a
scuba diver and taken to live in a dentist's fish tank, Marlin must travel the
seas with his addle-minded friend Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) to rescue him.
Last year, Richard Gere became the first
person to be nominated in both leading and supporting categories for the same
performance (he lost to Adrien Brody and Chris Cooper, respectively). This year,
Ellen Degeneres joined him, along with Lost in Translation's Scarlett
Johansson. And interestingly enough, both tied for Best Supporting Actress.
In addition to awarding her nominations in both
leading and supporting categories for her performance as Dory, voters also
nominated her for Favorite Female Heroic Character. And the film became the
first animated film in Cosmo history to receive a Best Film nomination.

Reviews from Cosmo Voters:
From the opening scene, it's clear that
the digital animators haven't lost their touch in creating vivid animation
with spectacular shades of light and depth. Why can't other animated films
bother to produce such quality? ("Rugrats Go Wild"? Please.)
But beyond the animation, which is
wonderful, the story is sweet and clever, and above all, imaginative. Ellen
DeGeneres is brilliant as Dory, the absent-minded fish with no short-term
memory - so brilliant that there's talk she should be nominated for an Oscar
for Best
Supporting Actress. "Finding Nemo" is a great film
that's fun for children and adults alike.
My grade: A -
