The animation category is nuts. Let's just nominate every animated film that's come out? Stupid. Lilo & Stich should win (it was great), although I hear Spirited Away is fantastic.
Spirited Away is
beyond fantastic, IMO. For an anime film to be nominated for an Oscar, especially a Miyazaki film... Lilo and Stitch would be my second choice for winner, but I'll be glad if
anything beats out Ice Age. I swear, I think they nominated it just because it was the only complete CGI movie that came out this past year.
As for Eminem winning the Academy Award for best song...No. No,
anyone but him. The academy isn't
that tactless. Personally I'm rooting for Paul Simon. I know not a lot of people here would enjoy the Wild Thornberrys movie if they saw it. But Paul's song "Father and Daughter" is just so beautiful. It got the shaft at the Emmys earlier this year, and I'll be ticked if it gets shafted at the Oscars.
