Summer's over, and to kick off the last four months of the year, we've got a festival in Venice, a festival in Toronto, and now the beginning of the anticipated/dreaded Oscar campaigns. Surprisingly, the first film out of the gate with an FYC campaign isn't something like Black Swan, The Kids Are All Right, The Fighter, or the much buzzed-about The Social Network. Rather, it's Dreamworks' surprise critical hit How to Train Your Dragon, and it's gunning for everything from Art Direction to Best Picture. With Toy Story 3 likely to take home the Animated Feature Oscar and score a nomination for Best Picture, Dreamworks is smart to start reminding everyone of their own highly praised film if they want to stand a chance of becoming the second animated film to make it into the Academy's top 10.
