  1. When my friends and I walked out of the theater after seeing “Up” this past summer, I said, “There’s more imagination in five minutes of that movie than in the complete running time of most movies this year.”

    I don’t know whether that means it’ll win Best Picture—aw heck, I’ll admit it: I seriously doubt it. But I’d like to live in the alternative reality where it does.

  2. Up is my favorite movie. The sequence showing Carl and Ellieâ??s life at the beginning was the most touching moment Iâ??ve ever seen in a movie. Except for certain moments in â??Grave of the Firefliesâ? which were overly depressing, though.

    Of course it wonâ??t have a chance of winning â??Best pictureâ?, although it should. But only to be nominated is a major feat for an animated movie.

  3. Won’t get Best Picture. Precious is too much the favorite for that. Everbody in the entertainment and art industry has been kicked around for being different, so they identify with the downtrodden. Glad somebody does. I would like to see The Blind Side win Best Picture or At least a nod for Sandra Bullock.
