Could this be a sign of things to come before the Oscars?

[Evangeline]

I'd chalk it up to two things:

(a) Jealousy of Disney/Pixar

(b) environmental themes are trendy, and high-powered cars are just soooooooooooo not-PC.

I'm as much for good environmental stewardship as anyone, but I can't stand the "trendy save-the-earth" mush factor.

I think "Our Town" won a Grammy, though... If I read the thing right...

ahem....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! bloody penguins!

what channel or the BAFTAs and the oscars and other award shows shown on? is it just american channels cos I don't see anything in my tv paper

and how do they decide the best?

[Orca]

Eh, you win some, you lose some. That's just the way award shows are.

Doesn't mean I've stopped hoping for "Cars" to take home an Oscar, mind you. *fingers crossed*

You think maybe they're trying to break the Pixar monopoly and make up for the "fiasco" that was awarding Crash the best picture? Not that Crash didn't deserve it though for its rather gritty, insightful expose on racism by everyone besides the majoriry...

EDIT: Oh, and I'm going to go club a penguin if Happy Feet wins. Or just throw things at my little brother, who is penguin-obsessed for some reason.

my friend Alex says:

"HAPPY FEET IS PENGUIN PROPERGANDA! there gonna take over the world started with brainwashing innocent children into thinking penguins are good natured "happy" creatures then *BAM!!!* they grow fangs and start to fly and poop acid on you and eat your guts!"

I think Happy Feet is a better written and an overall better movie than Cars, and I think it deserved the award.

Even though i havn't seen Happy Feet or Monster House, I still think Cars will win the oscar for best animated film and also win for best song.
