Disney's Academy Awards push for "Toy Story 3" is about to hit a potential roadblock thanks to an anti-Oscar campaign by union hotel employees at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim.
On Monday evening, members of the Unite Here union have scheduled an informational picket outside Disney Studios to coincide with a "Toy Story 3" screening for members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. They plan to tote placards reading "Don't Vote for Disney," according to Unite Here spokeswoman Leigh Shelton.

HEI Hotels & Resorts just sold the 293-suite Embassy Suites Irvine-Orange County Airport for an undisclosed price.
The Norwalk, Conn.-based investor in hotel properties reportedly says the sale will allow it to implement further cost-cutting at the hotel by managing the property.
