I'm still shocked Cars didn't receive a nomination for "Best Original Song." In my opinion, "Our Town" is one of the best tunes Newman's written for a film.
However, all hope is not lost for Newman to still score an Oscar nod for the song. Keep in mind that Newman's "If I Didn't Have You" from Monsters, Inc. wasn't nominated for a Golden Globe either. The tune went on to win an Oscar and a Grammy, though.
Well I'm quite biased when it comes to the whole DW thing but they sure don't get me excited. One reason I definately respect PIXAR over DW is because they don't over do things. Dang, Dreamworks Animation sure releases a LOT of movies. Quality is not quantity. I also admire how PIXAR keeps their fans waiting for trailers and other information on their movies. It's a very Hollywood things that most studios can't do. I never like the way Dreamworks maketed their stuff... they market in the tackiest, cheesiest ways.
I do this at my other forum...
