I agree. :/What ended up winning?

toy story three of course |C...yeh its a good film but how to train your dragon was way more deserving to me

*nodnod* Pixar kinda has an in with the Oscars it seems.

well pixar are ver very good. dreamworks has a tendancy to release cheap story lines with beautiful effects. but HTTYD was just...the whole package, I wish it'd won.

Pixar... hello... owned by Disney Corps which owns ABC.... >.>

Vested Interests, yes?

Nostalgia and such likely had a big part in the descision.

umad

me mad

I second this!!!

wemad

How can anyone be mad after seeing such a glorious icon?

....

...me. >C

I cried during Toy Story 3. And not the good kind. How to Train Your Dragon was a feel-good movie that made me see it four more times...I've decided to ignore the existence of Toy Story 3 because it depressed me so much.

HTTYD. Y U NO WIN OSCAR?

The power of the Handsome Squidward can't cheer up this sad new :C

TS3 is so much better 0w0

TS3 is so much better 0w0

I loved toy story 3 but HTTYD was my fav ;___;

It was bound to lose against TS3, sadly.

That sucks, I loved HTTYD.

I was thinking that myself.

The Illusionist should have won for best animated! Though toy story 3 was amazing all the same.

I haven't even seen Toy Story 3 yet.

But considering that when I go into Walmart, and all the HTTYD stuff is barely touched anymore, and TS3 stuff is flying off the shelf, you kind of gotta expect TS3 to win.

Honestly, I think they were on equal ground this year.

Take some solace in that, since that so rarely happens when it comes to Dreamworks movies!

I agree. I loved Toy Story 3, but HTTYD was much better.

Your icon wins.

Pretty damn sure that The Oscars will fail everyone this year in some way or an other.
Just like the music awards.

LOL.
So I'm not gonna watch.

>.<;

I liked Toy Story 3, but yeah I didn't LOVE it.. I like HTTYD more :P

TS3 only won because the kids that watched the original are grown up, and the parents that watched it with their kid has grown up.

Oh please. Of course the furries would BAW that HTTYD didn't win.

>_> not being an actual furry, I don't know why you would say that. The designs were amazing, the plot was great, the whole film was a piece of art!

Both films were a piece of art. But I'm just saying, the majority of FA baw about HTTYD not winning, and most of them I bet it's just cause they want to fuck toothless. Not saying HTTYD was a bad movie, because I enjoyed it more, but it's no reason to BAW.

'Sides, TS3 was more emotional. I could say the exact same thing about TS3 that you /just/ said about HTTYD.

I was indifferent about best feature, really just wanted Dragon to win for soundtrack. and it didnt, blaaah D<

I call BS on toy story three winning it was not that good

I agree! I also wish they had won for best score. I LOVED the music in it, and I'm a huge classical/movie score buff.

Personally I feel like Pixar films will always have Bias, just like Disney Films.

People who appreciate animation however, will keep it in their collections for years to come :>

Just like all those great 2D dreamworks films that were drowned out by Disney movies

I personally preferred HTTYD over Toy Story 3 but, OH WELL

I YELLED THIS AT MY TV

Wait.. Oscars mean something?

black swan should've won best cinematography

i was happy that aaron sorkin won though

As much as I completely adore HTTYD I have to disagree. There's a few imperfections with it. Not to mention, the story was fairly generic and a couple things were..just..eh.
To me, Toy Story 3 was very deserving. A little more-so than HTTYD.
I wouldn't have been disappointed if it had won, certainly not.
Strange, considering I watch HTTYD so often. Heh.

You disagree... But I agree with you!!<3

Well, poop.

I'm actually not upset over this and I love HTTYD more than TS3.

I liked both films, but I'm glad TS3 won. That movie made me cry like a fucking baby at the end. HTTYD was a good movie and all, but I didn't feel the same connection with the characters as I did with Toy Story.

I think TS3 deserved the animation win, but I am unbelievably pissed at the shitty movie score that won over HTTYD's. That was bullshit.

Nevermind that, Inception should have won best picture.

Seconding this.

I did Really love both films ALOT! but i understand why and im ok with the fact that Toy story won.
side note Natalie Portman winning for Best Actress made me happy

TS3 deserved it, the reason why Pixars wins every year is due to the Quality of their films overall, at a level their competition cannot compare to, not because of rigging, or favoritism.

HTTYD was a very good 3D Animated movies, and it showed that if DreamWorks tries, they can produce something original and good, sadly though, Dreamworks for a long time when it comes to 3D films has had the reputation of being second rate to Pixar, and as great as HTTYD was, it still was no match from TS3.

Dreamworks tends to follow what many other studios do with 3D films, and produce unoriginal movies, with pop culture references, and sometimes immature humor (I.E the Shrek Series, Madagascar, among some examples) with average, weak, and badly written scripts for some of their 3D films, their track record for quality is what i feel hurt Dreamworks when i comes to 3d Animated films.

Pixar tends to be the most Quality 3D animation studio, and has produced mostly great 3D films, and that's not an easy feat.
They also don't have some liberties where Disney cannot boss them around about their products, and what they do, thus is why Disney has yet to water down Pixars Films, and ruin what makes them the company they are since the 90's.

What it boils down to also is critically, and blockbuster wise, Pixar beats Dreamworks drastically in both fronts.
And Toy Story 3 critically, and financially did better then How to train your pet dragon. (Although, fairly enough, they both were critical, and blockbuster hits when they came out) and the Oscars highly takes critical acclaim seriously probably the most among the factors for choosing the winners.

THEY SHOULD JUST SPLIT THE AWARD

toy story 3 is indeed a good movie, and considering it was a Pixar production, it's an auto-win. But HTTYD was indeed a fantastic animated film for something not made by Disney.

Exit Through The Gift Shop shoulda won best documentary.


all I'm sayin

I agree, How To Train Your Dragon should have won
