You're putting too much effort in trying to understand the Academy Awards, Coffee. They've been 
ed up for a long time. Take last year for example. James Cameron and Quentin Tarantino got royally boned out of the Best Director award just so they could make headlines by having the first female Best Director award winner. Cameron invented new methods of filming for Avatar and brought 3D into the spotlight and Quentin had a huge cast that he directed superbly and kept me on the edge of my seat literally during every scene whereas Bigelow made a boring movie about troops in Iraq that jumped the shark in the last half hour. Then The Hurt Locker beat out Inglourious Basterds for Best Picture for some odd reason. Lets not mention that they gave the Best Female Actress award to Sandra Bullock because that was her one shot to win something meaningful and Hollywood loves her. My mom could have played that part.
While I disagree about your Best Score rant, this year isn't the first time the Academyed up.

I kind of agree with the Social Network score. It was great music, and it did sound like something out of Ghosts I-IV, but it just didn't fit that movie at all.
That music had a real strong undercurrent of menace, and tension, and the Social Network wasn't that kind of movie.
On it's own, it's great music, but it didn't fit that movie at all.

For christ's sake, the Academy just needs to create a "Best Pixar Film Of The Year" category anding be done with it, because it's obvious that that's all the Best Animated Film category is ever going to be.[/QUOTE]

The only two times Pixar lost when it had a movie out was Cars and Monsters Inc. Cars sucked, but Monsters Inc. was pretty good, it just came out the same year as Shrek. But yeah, I agree, it was bullshit. How to Train Your Dragon was the better movie IMO. Not that I really loved either of them.
