Interesting point about Matt Gr...I agree entirely.<br /><br />Interesting point about Matt Groening! It was great to see The Simpsons represented in such strong form at the Oscars this year.William Jardinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01914060460297464977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660789765534168781.post-33009189174848232302013-02-26T06:26:34.701+00:002013-02-26T06:26:34.701+00:00Despite loving Ralph and wanting to see Rich Moore...Despite loving Ralph and wanting to see Rich Moore behind that podium I'm very happy that Brave won. Pixar is back to it's best and Disney is also producing fantastic films. Hopefully Dreamworks continues it's good form and as an audience we could be in for some very good years of animation.<br /><br />Regarding Paperman that short was incredible and as soon as I saw it before Ralph I knew it would take home the Oscar. I also was sort of hoping they'd give it to The Simpsons (Being that Silverman was co-director on Monsters Inc) but it wasn't to be. Oh well who would have thought that Groening shows would have produced so much Oscar talent (Silverman, Moore and Brad Bird plus probably some others).B.B.

Thanks for the correction, Munir!
I re...Oh crumbs! Thanks for the correction, Munir!<br /><br />I really liked the Les Mis performance personally. It felt a little rushed (songs performed at the Oscars always do -- Randy Newman a couple of years ago, for instance), but captured the general epic essence of the film. Hugh was on particularly top form.<br /><br />But yeah, Adele ruled the evening as usual.William Jardinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01914060460297464977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660789765534168781.post-70524950688025015652013-02-25T22:48:16.840+00:002013-02-25T22:48:16.840+00:00Just one clarification: Lincoln won two, one for B...Just one clarification: Lincoln won two, one for Best Actor and one for bes Production Design.<br /><br />On, another note I think overall it was a good night with few missteps and I felt that the awards went to the right people (except for Ralph but Brave's win was good two and it was my second choice of winning). <br /><br />One complaint that I have though is that Les Mis performance was a little bit... disappointing. I don't what was it but I expected a bigger and better presentation. Some moments it just seemed that the cast was half trying at the stage. It didn't felt nearly as epic and emotional as in the film. Oh well, at least Adele was awesome as always :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11962675797068167462noreply@blogger.com
