Support NeoGAF

[Takao]

It came out in 2008 as far as the academy is concerned, I think.

Nope. It was in the initial selection stages, but Disney probably pushed their own stuff harder, and hoped Ponyo would steal Fox, or Coraline's spot.

 

[D4Danger]

I picked the song from Nine to win this in the GAF pool. fingers crossed.

edit: damn

 

[Buckethead]

"Pixar lost" when Happy Feet beat Cars.
Yeah that fucking happened.

Crazy Heart or Nine must win this.

 

[Firestorm]

Up is fantastic.

Fantastic Mr. Fox is more fantastic. It's in the name.

 

[harSon]

When will a non-pixar animated movie win :lol

Spirited Away won in 2002 over Finding Nemo! There's probably been something since then but I don't know off the top of my head.

 

[judhudson]

Next year's animated movie goes to - Toy Story 3!

I'm calling it!

 

[rollingstart]

then dont watch it..? im actually enjoy it so far

I'm watching it to get angry whenever Precious wins anything. It's will be quite cathartic, actually.

(Bring back Hugh for 2011!)

 

[WillyFive]

Princess and the Frog looks pretty amazing in HD.

HD really makes traditional animation look amazing, the clarity makes it look incredible.

 

[zerodayPopbot]

It came out in 2008 as far as the academy is concerned, I think.

You're right. It was released 08 in Japan.

Edit: NVM person above says otherwise.

 

[Realyst]

Yes 3 for 3!

 

[I AM JOHN!]

Fantastic Mr. Fox is more fantastic. It's in the name.

I knew there was a reason I like you, Firestorm.

 

[Sanjuro]

Fucking eight year olds dude.

 

[Defcon]

Nice, 3 for 3 so far.

 

[Gary Whitta]

There's a nominee named Ryan Bingham? That's spooky!

 

[Spider from Mars]

100% so far....BOOM

 

[CrunchinJelly]

"Pixar lost" when Happy Feet beat Cars.
Yeah that fucking happened.

Cars was probably about as equally shitty as Happy Feet, though.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Princess and the frog

 

[Schmattakopf]

Ugh, Miley Cyrus. Could her voice be any more annoying?

I don't want to think about that.

I just want her off the microphone.

 

[shuri]

I'm shocked by Hannah Montanah's voice. She sounds like shes a 42yo barfly.. holy shit :lol

 

[joeyjoejoeshabadoo]

So far no surprises.

 

[pringles]

So now they've completely cut the Best Song nominees' performances?

FUCKING LAME.

Usually I would agree but this year's nominees are very weak, except for that song from Crazy Heart, so it's not a big loss.

 

[D23]

omg hes wearing sunglasses indoor.. and hes not a rapper.

 

[Shard]

The right song won.

 

[Tobor]

T Bone Burnett, congrats! Love me some T Bone.

 

[UrokeJoe]

Rock this place Crazy Heart

 

[DMczaf]

Why is James Cameron accepting Best Song?

 

[Spooks]

I approve of this.

 

[Brinbe]

What? :lol

 

[DrForester]

Oscar for Outstanding Pixarness in a Pixar Film

 

[BertramCooper]

"I love you more than rainbows, baby."

I lol'd.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Princess & the Frog had a 40% chance to win and STILL lost.

 

[gumshoe]

James Cameron's evil twin won!!

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

WTF is wrong with that guy on the left? :lol

 

[Blablurn]

the guy on the left was a giant

 

[Archaix]

"Pixar lost" when Happy Feet beat Cars.
Yeah that fucking happened.

Crazy Heart or Nine must win this.

People are bitching about Pixar getting the award, but aside from this year (When there are just a very, very solid group of nominees) the Pixar movie was unquestionably the best nominee each time they've won. And one of the times they lost. Seriously, Shrek?

 

[h3ro]

I love pizza more than rainbows.












baby.

 

[brianjones]

booo

i knew up would win but was rooting for coraline

 

[Chamber]

I really can't stand Amanda Seyfried

I didn't even know Seyfried was relevant enough to be hated. Good for her.

 

[Spire]

And not stick-up-their-ass audience members like Clooney.F

The Clooney bit is scripted. They've already played the joke twice, you can bet it'll show up again in the show.

 

[Sanjuro]

I love you more than rainbows.....and Dominos.

 

[dragonballjoseph]

"I love you more than rainbows."

...wut?

 

[The Elite]

Holy shit. Captain Kirk introducing District 9. Interesting choice!

 

[Shard]

District 9 for dark horse?

 

[Wickerbasket]

Who the hell is Miley Cirus and why is she at the Oscars?

 

[methodman]

Holy shit. Captain Kirk introducing District 9. Interesting choice!

Chris Pine ftw

 

[WillyFive]

Cars was probably about as equally shitty as Happy Feet, though.

How dare you.

Happy Feet and Cars were works of art. Also, good movies that didn't just pander to kids.

 

[Big Baybee]

Fantastic Mr. Fox is more fantastic. It's in the name.

 

[joesmokey]

Chris Pine introducing District 9, very odd.

 

[Tobor]

District 9, aka "better than Avatar".

 

[Fakto]

For now, PERFECT Winners, IMO.
