And the Oscar goes to...
Mar. 2nd, 2010 10:37 pmIn an attempt to stave off a shampoo emergency tomorrow morning, I trekked over to the local crap drug store for whatever crap shampoo was on sale this week (Sunsilk, on clearance!). Happily enough, 10:00 pm worked well since the deluge finally stopped and now the stars are shining. Apparently we had thunder and lightening with our rain this afternoon. I didn't see that for myself, but I did see itty-bitty hail (I was hoping it'd be a more massive hail then I could pretend it had snowed).
After getting thoroughly drenched, I went with Debbie to see the Oscar nominated animated shorts (nothing like sitting in a cold theater with wet shoes and damp pants). Vast majority of the entries were pretty darned light hearted this year and I was pleasantly surprised to see a Wallace and Gromit short. But I was disappointed that so many of them done in the same style of animation (I call it Pixar style, cgi? whatever). Ok, so I'm happy there wasn't another oil painting style Russian entry like there was last year. Fortunately, they threw in some "highly commended" shorts too and I just loved a whacked out Canadian railroad themed piece. Hee.
I'd try to predict which one is going to win the Oscar but there wasn't one that really stood out from the rest. Is it going to be Wallace & Gromit for the nostalgia? Naahhh, I guess I'll have to go with the French short Logorama. Even though it felt a bit like an animated Pulp Fiction ripoff (kinda), lawsuit waiting to happen, just missed the mark piece of drivel (don't take my word for it, YouTube it!).
