Kung Fu Panda led the way with 17 nominations, while WALL-E only managed 8, all but assuring Panda's Oscar nomination. Although I think WALL-E is still a lock for the win. Panda was helped by a large voice cast (it managed three nominations in that category alone), something WALL-E didn't have. Ditto the screenplay, WALL-E is a purely visual work and was never really destined to succeed there.
The real surprise was that Thomas Newman's score wasn't nominated. Now that is a shame.
