I enjoyed Benjamin Button. But I don't think it's anything amazing, nor is it anything we haven't already seen.
I really enjoyed Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him walk away with the award. It'll come down to either him or Sean Penn (and the Academy likes Penn quite a lot). I'm sure Slumdog is going to take best picture. I personally thought it was a pretty cheesy fluff movie, just set in a different country. I wonder if our romantic fluff is as well regarded overseas?  Josh Brolin was great in Milk. Doubt was pretty awful, and I think it's benefiting from being recently released and by having a lot of overrated actors in it (PSH and Meryl). I think Winslet is going to take the best actress for The Reader, especially since she wasn't nominated for Revolutionary Road. And of course, WALL-E for best animated (shouldn't this be called the Disney award?) Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think what Acer meant is that it's unfortunate that the category exists as it does, because then the Academy can feel justified never putting an animated film up against any other, non-animated films. The way that Beauty and the Beast was. Which is not to say, necessarily, that there has ever been an animated film that has deserved it since then.
There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah. I do think, that of all animated films made since Beauty and the Beast, WALL-E had the best chance of getting back in there. Certainly it deserved to be there more than Benjamin Button, in my opinion.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
