Pixar has publicized concept art for three upcoming Pixar films. They look dazzling, as always, and give us a taste of what aesthetic styles we can expect from Pixar in the next few years.

After many days of construction over the Christmas break, the new polling feature is officially ready for launch. It has always been on my wish list of desired features, and as of yesterday, it is live on the site. There have been several questions mulling around in my mind that I've been curious to know the popular opinion on for the education and general interest of the Pixar community.
The poll widget is visible in the sidebar on the website (RSS readers will need to visit pixarportal.com to vote). The plan is to allow each poll to collect votes for a few days, or weeks. At the end of each poll period I'll summarize the findings in a new article.
So, the new poll for today: Who are your favorite Pixar villains?
Yes, I pared down the list a bit. Some Pixar movies don't have clear villains (like Finding Nemo, for example). Others have multiple villains, some are a bit less prominent, and some are debatably villainous. But, it is what it is.
Anyway, glance over at the sidebar to the right and cast your vote!
Although the official list of Oscar nominees won't be published for another couple weeks, rumors are circulating that Julie Fowlis has been nominated for the original song Touch the Sky, which she performed for the Brave soundtrack.
The Daily Record, a Scottish newspaper, made the original claim. Fowlis has been praised for her clear Gaelic voice, and is easily a front runner for the award in February.
UPDATE: It seems more likely that The Daily Record may have confused the difference between a shortlist and actual nominees.
