Sorry if there’s already a thread like this. I was very dissapointed with the lack of nominations, best song, score, screanplay? C’mon Tangled and Narnia 3 for best song but not Toy Story 3? And it would be Justin Bieber to actuley give the award to Lee 
. Sorry if I sound very rantish but I’m just very mad 
Well, that may be because “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” was written years ago for the first story, but also, Tangled and Narnia had better songs, in my opinion. TS3 was a great, great movie, but not in absolutely everything.
Totally. Agree.
I’m also displeased with the Golden Globes this year as well… but for completely different reasons… 
little chef
Justin Bieber gabe Lee the award? I think i kust barfed.
For what it’s worth, the Golden Globes put all the screenplays into one category, where the Oscars split them into Original and Adapted (hence twice the nominees).
The biggest problem with the Globes is that they don’t let animation compete in the best pic categories any more. TS3 would easily have been nominated in the Best Comedy or Musical category.
My exact feeling.
I’m disapointed with the awards, but for other reasons.
I think Tangled deserved the song nomination. “I See the Light” is a way better song than “We Belong Together”
Also, what’s with all the Justin Beiber hate? All he did was read the nominations and hand the award to Unkrich, why is everyone complaining about him? I understand if you don’t like his music, but seriously? Just because he was a presenter?
^ I think the problem is that Animation often gets presented by teen idols instead of serious perspicacities. Its treated as a lesser category.
I still don’t think it matters who presents it. And when Bieber presented it, he even said “These animated films show that they’re not just for kids” (or something along those lines).
I’m afraid I’m gonna have to disagree with you there, EJE. The fact that they chose Bieber (a teen pop idol) to present it instead of say, Clint Eastwood or Steven Spielberg (a more ‘matured’ personality) shows there is still some prejudice against animated films.* I believe the year before (2010) they got the Jonas Brothers to present the awards. 
Why oh why, didn’t they get Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Steve Carrell, or if they wanted a young actor, Mandy Moore or Jay Baruchel to present ‘Best Animated Ghetto’?
I didn’t watch Burlesque, but I bet because it was a more ‘matured’ picture (as matured as dancing showgirls dropping oh-so-naughty innuendos gets, anyway), it beat the other contestants. For the record, I love ‘I See The Light’ and ‘There’s a Place for Us’ (the latter of which I stayed back to hear in the closing credits).
And the late news mentioned Ricky Gervais’ humour didn’t go down well with the audience. I bet he won’t step another foot in Hollywood again. 
- Not a Bieber hater by the way, I love his single ‘Baby’. But that’s about the only song I like from him.
For the second time today, TDIT, you’ve expressed my exact beliefs.
Dude, are you sure you aren’t, like, my long-lost Venezuelan twin or something? 
No, I was EvilGenious twin, but she vanished Then DocKenobi claimed that title once.
I guess I have a lot of siblings on the forums.
Totally agree. My personal feelings about Bieber (general disinterest with occasional mild bemusement) aside, choosing him to present the award is not something that would have been done for an a category that wasn’t considered “young viewers” material. And the fact that Bieber had to say that these films show that animation isn’t just for kids only demonstrates that the mainstream mindset is still the exact opposite. I doubt any other category required a disclaimer about how the entire category wasn’t just for a single demographic. If awards shows really want to convey the message that animation isn’t just for kids, they should have serious actors or filmmakers present the awards rather than teen idols and skip the constant reminders that “animation isn’t just for the kiddies like all of you think it is.” Just give it the same level f respect as any other award.
Laugh out loud, SoA. 
I’m glad you share my displeasure, inkandpixelclub. Frankly, I’m getting sick of all the animation bias.
I’ve just watched the Best Animation segment. Yup, Bieber bungled his lines. At least Hailee (who I didn’t recognise until I googled her and found out she’s starring in ‘True Grit’) had more composure. Although you could see her purse her lips momentarily when Unkrich posed the question about their ages (I grinned widely when he said that, maybe he was trying to make a comment about how ‘old’ the presenters were, to which I say good on him!).
Unkrich did good with his speech, especially with the end about his family and animated films being recognised for their very “human heart”. Congrats, Unkrich!
Let me guess little_chef… [size=35]It’s cos’ HTTYD didn’t win, isn’t it?[/size] You can almost see Spielberg turning green with envy… I wonder whether Sanders was there?
FWIW, Steinfeld was excellent in True Grit. I have no qualms with her presenting.
Bieber… I won’t comment
Thanks for introducing me to a new acronym, tribefan!
And yup, as I mentioned, I have no qualms about Steinfeld presenting. Though you can see she was visibly offended when Unkrich made the age jibe at them.
Was anyone horrified that they basically spoiled the ending of Toy Story 3 in the ‘preview clip’ shown during the announcement of the nominees? And the fact that Toy Story 3 was practically the only film among the nominees that had an emotional scene chosen for its preview clip, while the rest, who had equally emotional scenes, went for fairly pedestrian ones instead? It’s almost like they were trying to tell the viewers, “You know who’s gonna win this award…”
I’d love to be a fly on the wall to hear the thought process that went into that whole Best Animated presentation
Playing Devil’s Advocate here - and I don’t know or care about the Burlesque song - but Diane Warren, the songwriter, has a long history with various and multiple award nominations, so has pop songwriting “cred,” and it was sung by CHER, which probably helped it get attention from the GG voters.
I took Lee’s “were you kids even born?” remark as a comment on how many years had passed between TS and TS3, as if to say, wow, I can’t believe how many years have passed since we started this (the TS universe). (Although I will say it didn’t seem to go over well with the kids.) I do agree with the comments here about having the “kids” present animation (and I still think it’s unfair that the GGs don’t let animation compete for the best pic categories).
(TOTALLY off topic, but I just gotta say: Jim Parsons’ GG win - and even better, Kaley Cuoco presenting it and being so excited - made the whole evening for me!)
EDIT: Coming back to add - YES, TDIT, when they showed the TS3 clip, I thought “Man, they’re showing the ending!!!” 
I guess they must have figured that everyone has seen the movie by now.
Again, it’s not so much how I feel about Bieber himself as the fact that they chose two very young presenters. (Has Bieber acted in anything? I honestly have no clue.) I think that clip of this years Best Animated Feature presentation is the most I’ve ever seen of the Golden Globes, but my experience from watching the Oscars tells me that the presenters are usually picked because they’re felt to be thematically appropriate in some way. It’s not always the case, but you’ll often have the Best Supporting Actress award presented by last year’s Best Supporting Actor winner and vice versa, maybe last year’s Best Director winner giving the Best Director award, and so on. To me, having two young presenters for the Best Animated Feature award sends the message “We think it work thematically to have two kids present this award because animation is for kids.” Either one of the two with, say, somebody with some connection to animation would have been less troubling to me.
I did think “That’s an odd choice.” But it was the highest grossing film of the past year and whether or not that was due in part to higher ticket prices for 3D, that means a lot of people saw it. And it’s already out on DVD, which gives a lot more people the chance to see it. A friend of mine saw it for the first time through video on demand. So while it was an odd choice and there are still people who haven’t seen the film yet (I know at least one), it’s kind of past “spoiler alert” status and I wouldn’t say I was horrified to see the ending used as a clip.
