What Academy Award did Ratatouille win?

Ratatouille won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

The Pixar film won at the 80th Academy Awards, honoring movies released in 2007. Director Brad Bird accepted the award for the production, which follows Remy, a rat determined to become a chef despite the obvious barriers of working in a human kitchen.

Ratatouille was nominated in five Oscar categories overall. Along with Best Animated Feature, it received nominations for Best Original Screenplay, Best Original Score, Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound Mixing. It won only the animated-feature category; the other nominated films or works took those awards.

The award is sometimes mixed up with Best Original Score because Michael Giacchino’s music was also nominated. Ratatouille’s Oscar win was part of a broader awards run that included recognition from the Annie Awards, the BAFTAs, and several critics’ groups.
