"WALL-E" released 2008

Pixar's classic animated film about a lonely robot left with the monumental task of cleaning up Earth after being completely trashed and abandoned, WALL-E was released into US theaters June 27, 2008.  It's science fiction, action, and romance all rolled into one.

It is widely considered one of the best animated movies of all time.  It won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, the Golden Globe for Best Animated Film, Boston Society of Film Critics Best Animated Film, BAFTA's Best Animated Film, a Saturn for Best Animated Film, two Grammys, and one Scream Award.

In 2021, WALL-E became the second Pixar film to be selected for preservation in the US National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.

WALL-E wins two Grammy Awards 2009

My hero WALL-E won two Grammy Awards during the 51st annual celebration February 8, 2009.  Actually Peter Gabriel got the trophies.  The first for Best Song Written for Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media for the song Down to Earth.

The second award was for Best Instrumental Arrangement for Define Dancing, arranged by Peter Gabriel and Thomas Newman.  Newman was also nominated for Best Score Soundtrack Album for Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media, but lost to The Dark Night.

John Williams won a Grammy for Best Instrumental Composition for The Adventures of Mutt from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.  What was his total tally at that time?

One of my favorites from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Runnin' Down a Dream, won Best Long Form Music Video. 

The lovely Natalie Cole won Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for Still Unforgettable, another compilation of her performing her father's songs.
