A Mixed Night for Cars

Archives
#1

First, the Bad News: Happy Feet won Best Animated Film at the BAFTAs.

:frowning:

The Good News: Cars picked up Best Animated Film and Best Music from a

Film at the Annies, while Our Town got a nod from the Grammys! :slight_smile:

I strongly

suspect it could go either way with the Oscars


#2

Hooray for Cars!

:smiley:

Dash and I don’t understand how it could win [u]Best Animated

Feature[/u] and receive hardly any individual achievement awards. But nonetheless, congratulations to

Cars.

And yay for “Our Town”!

:smiley:

BAFTA

is a British award, so I wouldn’t coun it too much thinking of the Oscars.

Very good for Our Town. Best

thing that could happen before the oscars.

Annies: Hm?
NO Director (Over the Hedge, OMG! And THIS is an

award show for Animation`? :unamused: )
NO Storyboard (Over the Hedge :unamused: )
NO Effects (Cars’ effects

were the best in animation history)

The only thing that was great, was the Best Animated Feature

award.

#4

Yes!!! Huzzah and yippee horay! Ehem – excuse my

excitement. Not to sound prejudiced or anything, but I was kind of rooting for [i]Happy

Feet[/i] to earn that award. :wink:

On the other hand: Congratulations to

Cars for winning the “Best Animated Film” and “Best Music”

trophy at the Annies! My compliments to Mr. Newman for hitting a home run with [i]Our

Town[/i], as well. Things are looking good for the film. It just might win that Oscar
 :smiley:

It’s funny- I turned the channel over to the BAFTAS just as the best animated feature

award was being announced. I was upset to see that Cars didn’t win, naturally, but what bugged me a little was

that the guy who collected the award for Happy Feet- can’t remember his name- was pretty pompous. I hate it when

people are pompous when they collect awards. :unamused:

But, hooray for Cars at the Annies! Success! :smiley:

I’m glad Cars won that

Best Animated Film award at the Annies. Now all we need is for it to win at the Oscars, which it most likely

will. I’m glad Our Town won at the Grammys, although I didn’t watch it.

#7

Congrats to Cars. I knew they were gonna win big at the Anines. But at the Oscars, I

strongly believe that Cars will take Best Animated Feature. Happy Feet was wonderful, but I think Cars has the

edge.

#8

Happy Feet

is a good movie, but Cars is just a better movie overall in every category!!! Congrats on John Lasseter and

Cars!!!

#9

I find it extremely odd how at first, I thought Cars’ biggest competetor would be Flushed

Away. Now, I am really surprised to see that the penguin movie, Happy Feet, is the one to beat for Pixar.

[size=92]Yaay! Go Cars! :slight_smile:

I haven’t seen Happy Feet yet
 :stuck_out_tongue: [/size]

#11

But what about Our Town

for the Oscars? It might have won a grammy, but remember, this time, it is different.

#12

Huh? That didn’t make sense to

me.

~~=oP

#13

Yay for Cars winning that Annie! and yay for Our Town getting a Grammy! That’s

totally getting my hopes up for the Oscars. Although Happy Feet is certainly some decent competition


#14

Well, people have said it before. Just because you win

something, doesn’t nessecarily mean you will win it all. Cars might not even take the Oscar for Best Song

because it is from a different perspective.

#15

But “Our Town” did win the

Oscar for Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media.

:confused:

~~=oP

#16

oh. . . well now. . . I missed it didn’t I. Man, I fel

so stupid. Sorry for all of the confusion PV. I feel ashamed now. :frowning:

#17

It was a

Grammy, not an Oscar. Just because the Grammys are the musical equivalent of Oscars, it doesn’t mean that the

Grammy People and Academy Award people will agree on this topic. I did some research, and the last time both

Awards agreed on the same song was Into the West from [i]Return of the

King[/i]. That said, they also agreed on If I Didn’t Have You in

2001


#18

Whooooops! :blush: Sorry,

TSS.

To clear things up, the Oscars are February 25
just not in

my head. 8D

#19

RMS: Thank you for saving my skin there.

PV: That is okay. We all have our mess ups at

times. I’ll forgive you if you forgive me.

And now that you mentioned it, Oscars are only 10 days away!

Who is excited?

#20

Me! And I’m excited not

only because Cars is a double nominee, but also because I’ll be introduced to

potentially good, if not brilliant, movies (All this, even though I already know about practically every Oscar

nominee this year :wink: But I’m hoping the Oscars will make me even more interested in watching the movies that I

already got interested in.)
