Yay! The only 2 Oscar categories that mattered to me were awarded to the most deserving candidates. Wall-e won best feature length animation. I recognized every person to whom Andrew Stanton gave credit...cause I'm a nerd like that. And I liked the shout out to Ed Catmull, although I would have described him as the Godfather of computer graphics, not God. Watching the history of Pixar makes me sad because I wasn't there to share in the adventure of pioneering the industry. I'm glad they beat out Kung Fu Panda, even though it was a hilarious movie, and I have to hand it to Dreamworks for making a great animated flick. However, I wish they would get off the pattern of alternating one good movie, with one hackneyed movie.
The other Oscar category, to which anyone could have guessed the winner, was best supporting actor. Heath Ledger earned that award outright; posthumous or not. He took great care in crafting the role of the joker into the sadistic, crazed madman we never expected. I'm very glad that the political slant of the Academy didn't steal what he rightly earned.
