Once again the Acadamy proves why it sucks. In the Animated film of the year category, Cars ran against 2 crap films...and lost. No, seriously, Happy Feet won. This isn't like when Pixar lost to Shrek. This is like losing to All Dogs Go to Heaven 3.

So now I guyess I have to ammend what I once said about the Acadamy. I used to say that is you wanted to win an Oscar, all you had to do was play a homosexual or a mentally dissabled person (preferrably a mentally dissabled homosexual). But now we can add a penguin to the mix.

I bet if they re-released Batman Returns right now it would win a few Oscars for those crappy penguins with the rocket launchers on their backs.

The Oscars are run by a bunch of old people who hate action movies for one thing. That's why Star Wars never got best picture, although it obviously should have. Anyway, they like ground-breaking movies. Movies that stand out. Apparently Pixar movies don't stand out like that anymore. It's a very dumb setup.

Anyway, what do you guys think will get best CGI effects next year? Maybe Pirates, maybe Transformers, and for me hopefully Spider-man 3.



My friend and I run a website at www.scripturesquad.com
It's a Christian website for kids based off a team of super heroes.

Spiderman 3 will have great effects, but I think Transformers will be the high water mark.

Haven't you people learned by now the awards are a political tool and pretty much fixed?? At least 50% (and I do mean at least) of the time, the most deserving person or film loses. Look how long it has taken Martin Scorsese to get one. And the year Denzel Washington won for Training Day over Sean Penn in I Am Sam. That show was dedicated to one of the most respected black actors of all time and suddenly best actor went to Denzel and best actress went to Halle Berry. That was bull because they both should have lost. This is why the ratings have gone down more and more every year.

Cars didn't win because it sucked! It couldn't hold a candle to any of the previous Pixar films due to its poor story and lack of heart. It was no more than a string of poorly done celebrity voice cameos. Monster House should have won because of its excellent story and animation. I have to admit, Happy Feet probably won because of its environmental message. Let's hope we don't see Happy Feet 2 next year.

Let's see, you are from Orlando and you register so you can post all of one comment, against Pixar. Hmmm, I would guess you are one of the Disney 3-D animators who was let go when Disney bought Pixar last year. So now you ae unemployed and bitter.

Because that's the only way you could say Cars wasn't amazing.


As a father of 2 children, I can't tell you how much I love watching the Pixar films with my kids over crap from DreamWorks and other non-factor studios. Seriously, did anyone even see The Wild or Barnyard?

And watching Cars with my son is something I will cherrish for years to come. After we watch it on DVD, we'll go on-line and research some of the old cars like the 71 Plymouth Superbird, the 51 Hudso Hornet or the Impala Lowrider.

After watching Happy Feet, what do you do with your kids (assuming you have any)? Maybe watch a Coke commercial? Hey look! More dancing penguins!!



And the story of Cars was very good. It wasn't simply a rehash of Doc Hollywood. If that was all you got out of it, then you missed the point of the film. It was about becoming obsolete and outdated. It was about the world forgetting all that you have contributed, be you a war vet, a Disney 2-D animator or a parent whose children grew up and left home.


Now maybe you just missed all this. Maybe you should stick to something simple like dancing flightless birds.

I can't believe people are surprised by this. I mean, it was a political movie disguised with a bunch of dancing penguins. If three years ago was the black oscars, this year was the environmental oscars.

Harry Potter Addicted, not a stoner.

I just couldn't do it, that pic was making me sick to my stomach. And to all those who kept calling me a racist, never again should you direct a comment in my direction again. You can all go to Hell for all I care.
