No surprise there, either. But again, a completely deserving Oscar. Up was my favorite film of the year.
No surprises with Up's win, but hey, it was a very good film (even if it wasn't quite among Pixar's best, IMO). I've never heard of The Secret of Kells. Maybe I should check it out -- anyone here seen it?
I still don't get how "Down in New Orleans" ended up one of The Princess and the Frog's two nominated songs; "Friends on the Other Side" and "Dig A Little Deeper" were both much better. Totally deserved win for "The Weary Kind".
How could have gone to any other song? The others were awful. What the hell's up with starting at 8:30? I missed a half-hour cause I figured it was on at 9 when I didn't see it at 8.
I wonder if the best song award being so early means no performances this year. That would be a shame. I always enjoyed those.
