ROTF passed over for best F/X oscar

Yeah, I haven't seen Up myself, though I really want to. Personally though, I think the real reason Up's there and in Best Picture is so the Academy can make up for passing over Wall-E last time. Now THAT was an animated film that deserved Best Picture, if I do say so myself.

As for Coraline, I was mostly shocked to see that one on the list, since I coulda sworn it came out like two or three years ago. I dunno. Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome movie with some incredible design sensibilities and a refreshingly frank and straightforward tone for such a film, I just...hadn't realized it was so recent.

Time flies, man. I myself only realized it'd come out just last year during the Golden Globes or what the hell ever. (Where they similarly lost to Up. And the only reason I knew about that was because Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer went and Tweeted about it. Yay Twitter!)
