Congrats to The Incredibles <\/em>and Brad Bird for winning Oscars for Animated Feature Film and Sound Editing<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Animated Feature competition was against Shark Tale <\/em>and Shrek 2, <\/em>and I think the win went to the right film — in ten years, the latter two flicks will feel pretty dated, and in thirty nobody will understand why they won. The Incredibles, <\/em>on the other hand, speaks in a less “topical humor” sort of voice, and will remain, I think, a lot more fresh and viewable into the coming years, even as CG advances beyond its present state.<\/p>\n

The Sound Editing award was up against Polar Express<\/em> and Spider-Man 2<\/em>. I have no comment on that, save that the sound (and, for that matter, the unnominated music) in The Incredibles<\/em> was excellent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
