At tonight's Academy Awards, just about all the expected winners fulfilled expectations. King's Speech. Colin Firth. Natalie Portman. Toy Story 3. There were few surprises, except maybe this one.
Australia has continued its strong tradition in the short animated film category at the Academy Awards with Shaun Tan pulling off a shock victory [with The Lost Thing]. ...
I would have liked to have seen more upset, all across the board. (I was rooting for Annette Bening. Oh well.) I hope Pixar-Disney isn't too disgruntled only getting the animated feature and Best Original Song Little Gold Man.

Oh they're all VERY disgruntled. Just look at all the tweets their employees made during the show. They don't like to lose, and far be it from them to actually congratulate the artists that won. Nobody's hard work is a good as theirs is evidently.
Well congratulations to the winners and better luck next time for everyone else. No matter what everyone should be proud of their work.
*sigh* However I guess we shall have wait a bit longer for an animated feature for best picture. Let's keep trying.
If I hear another f***ing Randy Newman song in another Lasseter fairytale I'm going to jump off a bridge. The magical animated melodies of Randy, Elton, and Phil Collins give me unbearable migraines and violent diarrhea. Randy has become the Kenny G of Pixar.
If I hear another f***ing Randy Newman.................
I LOVE your post!
I couldn't agree with you more.
Obviously you have good taste and admire originality and creativity.....rather than YOU jumping off a bridge, let's GET RID of those guys and keep you around to hopefully rise to enough power to change all this current COMMERCIAL GARBAGE out there.
It disgusts me.
More power to YA!
I'm glad that "The Lost Thing" won. As Martha Coolidge said on the Oscars Short Film Animated video ..."It's a unique picture of one artist's vision". Congrats to you Shaun!
about time Newman won. He's been submitting the same song since TS1
WTF? Randy Newman?
Are you kidding me????
O_o
I guess this means Disney will stop supporting the Motion Picture Academy.
Awwww! Your favorite girl wasn't voted Prom Queen?
Cartoon studios have become high school with money.
They have always been high school with money...
And using this blog is made up of the snarky kids who hate the popular kids...
3...2...1...
Aaaaand Floyd jumps in with another "look at me!" comment implying a diss of Pixar, which if called on he will cooly deny with another comment of "Diss? Au contrare- I worked there". Never fails.
Talk about your extra-crispy add-ons...
"And using this blog is made up of the snarky kids who hate the popular kids..."
And using this blog is made up of the not so good english writers.
You must really be in the business!
me write pretty one day...

Er, well, good thing for your public safety that ALAN MENKEN writes the fairytale songs, then, isn't it? ;)

(Still, even if The Natural and Babe 2 were snubbed over, why does Newman keep winning for the wrong Pixar movies?
Toy Story 1&2, nothing, Bugs' Life, nothing, Cars 1, nothing--But no, let's reward the two Pixar one-song variations nobody on the street even remembers, whenever we think he hasn't gotten one in a while...) :)
**Awwww! Your favorite girl wasn't voted Prom Queen?

LOLOLOL!
Beg pardon, Floyd, but your description is too exclusive. It could aptly be applied to all of Hollywood!
I didn't think The Lost thing was particularly good at all. It was better as the book, and animation didn't bring anything new to the table.
I was rooting for "The Gruffalo," but I thought all the shorts were deserving this year.
"Beg pardon, Floyd, but your description is too exclusive. It could aptly be applied to all of Hollywood!"
...and it was. My memory says that was Roseanne Barr.
Odd for my first post here at TAG but... there ya go. Cheers and congrats to everyone!
