Information
Before the Producers Guild of America handed the first outstanding award on animation, animated films competed against live-action films in the Best Theatrical Motion Picture category. Two animated films were nominated in that category:
- 2001 – Shrek (lost to Moulin Rouge!)
- 2004 – The Incredibles (lost to The Aviator)
Since the inception of the Best Animated Motion Picture award, animated films can still be nominated for Best Theatrical Motion Picture. Two animated films were nominated since 2005:
- 2009 – Up (lost to The Hurt Locker)
- 2010 – Toy Story 3 (lost to The King's Speech)
