I dunno, watching it the second time Rango didn't improve. There were no jokes that I missed out the first time (I'm thinking of comedies such as Hot Fuzz and Airplane! where there are so many great jokes that every-time you watch it, it feels like your watching it for the first time again) and if you look at Rango as anything other than a comedy - then its not very good. Its basically Chicken Run if Chicken Run was parodying A Fistful of Dollars rather than The Great Escape - and Chicken Run is funnier than Rango because there was way more to it than movie references, and Chicken Run was released when the 'Guy pretending to be something he's not' cliché was only starting to get stale.
Honestly, I think 2011 has been a pretty bad year for (mainstream) animation. If Rango was released in 2010 when Toy Story 3 and How to Train Your Dragon was out - then it probably wouldn't have even got a nomination.
I should probably actually watch some of these. I've only seen Kung Fu Panda, Harry Potter, and Tintin.
I still think We Bought a Zoo should have been nominated for like every single category. Am I a hipster? 
Personally, even though I watched 4 films in a row during winter break, I'm pretty clueless about most of these films. Actors/actresses I have no idea about.
Personally, Tin Tin should win animation, not because of it's [mediocre] story, but because of it's superb animation. War Horse should definitely win Best Cinematography, it had some awesome camera direction in there, but I don't really know much about the other films.
HP7P2 should have gotten much more nominations, though.
