I really think Surf&#8217;s Up should have won this year as I thought Ratatouille was Pixar being mediocre at best. Persepolis was the pat on the back nominee this year. Ya know, just so the Oscars can show a bit of variety in the nominees. Anyway, I got there and I was the first one there! People finally started showing up AFTER the show started. Weird. After about 1\/2 an hour I walked down the street to the Kodak Theater to have a look at the event and while I was gone they announced the winner! So I completely missed Surf&#8217;s Up losing. When I got back the party was a bit quiet and people were no longer interested in watching the show so I headed home. Why? Because I have a bigger TV than the restaurant had! In glorious HD too! Ha! Brag brag brag. So yes, now that HDDVD (Toshiba) is pushing up daisies go buy yourself a big &#8216;ol Wega TV (Sony), a Blu-Ray Player (Sony), buy Surf&#8217;s Up (Sony) on Blu-Ray disc (Sony) and invite me (Sony) over. I&#8217;ll bring my Aibo (Sony).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since Imageworks had &#8220;Surf&#8217;s Up&#8221; in the running for an Academy Award for Animated Feature they put together a party for us to watch (us lose) the Awards.
