Maybe Not a Lock ...

So Rango isn't a shoo-in. I guess the Golden Globes knows what it's doing.

Channing Tatum and Jessica Alba presented the animated feature film award to The Adventures of Tintin, directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by Peter Jackson.

... Or maybe the Globes/Foreign Press Association is sucking up to Stephen Spielberg and Peter Jackson?

BOOOOO!!!! My mom and I knew Rango should've won! Tintin stinks! I hope Tintin gets snubbed by the Oscars!

Tin Tin was a visually stunning film and a really fun ride.

I saw Tintin on dvd. Without the spectacle of stereoscopic 3D on the big screen, it ain't much of a film.

Yeah, definitely meant to be seen on a big screen.

rango and tin tin were both horrible cartoons--in a year filled with them.

2010 had so many great animated films that even Oscar-worthy ones weren't even nominated. 2011 is the exact opposite

I thought Spielberg gave a telling acceptance speech last night. He had the chance to show he values animators as artists and film-makers, and to embrace the idea that Tintin and mo-cap are part of the animation tradition.

Instead, he praised studio big-wigs for continuing to put total faith in him, praised his human actors, and praised the studios that financed the project. But not a word about Weta or the artists and TDs who executed the film, nor a mention of the film's real creator, Herge.

If animators were important to the art and process of making animated films, they would have been sitting with Rich Ross and Elton John at the front table.

They weren't, so they're not, so there!

Peter Jackson made a pact with the devil; this much I'm sure about now, as Dead-Eye zombie mocap can be Golden Globe animation winners.

Tin tin is definitely not dead eye zemeckis mocap. Its on a whole other level and I'm no fan of mocap but very impressed with what they achieved from those terrible zombie looking movies zemeckis was doing.

No way. While slightly better than Zemeckis' films, Tin Tin sits squarely in the uncanny valley.

Very difficult to watch.
