I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone mention that "Coraline", thanks to its re-release, has now surpassed "Chicken Run" to become the highest-grossing stop-motion animated film in North America. I genuinely thought "Chicken Run" would hold that record forever

The British Academy voters giving these nominations (and win) to "Shrek" remains the best thing they have ever done.
