As always, Pixar wins another award. Am I the only guy on the planet who thinks that it's completely unfair that Pixar's movies have always won an award for Best Animated Feature?
Don't get me wrong. I love Pixar's films, they're completely awesome. However, I kind of think they're becoming a little overrated.

This. I'm getting really sick of it.
What, my ranting and rambling, or the fact that Pixar has always won the award for Best Animated Feature since Ratatouille?
I'm a little more concerned about The Social Network, a really average live-action feature sucking up all the awards this season.
Seriously, it seems like every season, a latter-part-of-the-year live action movie that people barely pay attention to gets all the accolades for no reason. In this case, I fear that the Oscars will just pile all the top honors onto The Social Network just to avoid giving Toy Story 3 its due credit.

Agreed. I bought Social Network just to see what all the fuss was about, it was interesting, but nothing special enough to deserve the awards
I have the feeling that the streak will end with Cars 2. Not trolling the movie, but if its true that its played as a straight Mater comedy the critics will snuff it... That is unless Dreamworks or Disney doesn't produce a high caliber movie, much like Happy Feet in 2006.
I hate to play devil's advocate, but the reality of the situation is that for Disney to win an award and beat Pixar is to step it up in the story department. I LOVED Princess and the Frog (despite how much I criticized it) and Tangled, don't get me wrong. But those stories were fairly simple and straightforward. Pixar movies, on the other hand, are brimming with character depth and evolution, complex themes of life, dreams and such, and the one key component in winning an award... IT MAKES PEOPLE CRY.
If Disney wants a best picture nod in any award, they have to really get creative with their stories and be more daring.
It's kinda stupid "I See the Light" lost to a song from Burlesque, which quite frankly looked terrible as a film (Christina Aguliera and Cher in the same movie? Yikes.. ). The fact that Toy Story 3 won Best Animated Feature, however, is unsurprising; it was honestly the shoe-in for getting the award, and I'm sure we all knew deep inside that it would win over anything else.

How about Tim Burton in a Johnny Depp film.
Golden globe and all those awards flaunting shows are a piece of shit and mean nothing.
Well, they're more like honors or something. Nevertheless, people are probably gonna give me a boot to the head for saying this, but I thought How To Train Your Dragon and/or Tangled were more deserving of the Best Animated Feature Golden Globe.

The common attitude in the "ghetto" medium of the film industry.
The significance behind this campaign to get Toy Story 3 that Best Picture Oscar nom (and hopefully win) is about on the level of electing our first Black President. America has come a long way since the Black population was only granted 3/5 personhood. Likewise, the cartoon community has become much more versatile than the kiddie genre it's still stereotyped as.

Maybe once Pixar films finally get the recognition they deserve as being "real" films, they can move over and make room for the other animated works. Until then, though, I think they are more than deserving of every recognition they get.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh -_-
So animated films aren't "real" films? Just kiddie stuff, right? But Pixar films are animated.....mindscrew!
Sorry, but it makes me nuts when people imply that a movie is somehow lesser because it's animated/a cartoon/whatever. Judge it on the content, not the medium.
And Pixar is not the end-all be-all of animation. No, really.

You completely misread my tone. I am reflecting the film industry's attitude. Not my own.
