Best soundtrack is totally How to Train Your Dragon. Inception's close, though.
Also, nice cat there.
Yes, yes, and YES.
Network winning for the OST was the only WTF moment for me. This movie had music?

And you call THIS music? Jesus Effing Christ. This is what the degenerates in their BMW's listen on Saturday night out on town.
Sure, Zimmer's Inception was a bit repetitive, but what about Powell's glorious and sweeping Dragon:

Even Desplat's Speech was pretty okay. Yet, they went with this sad joke.
True Grit got nothing. NOTHING. Didn't see that coming.
Christian Bale - loved the Fighter, loved his performance, only actor/ress I was rooting for, since Portman's win was certain.
And people should stop making animations when there is a Pixar cartoon coming out in the same year - they're wasting their talent and getting zero recognition.
I'm a bit torn over Speech. I really liked the movie, but seeing a royalty who hasn't worked a day in his privileged life cry over a speech impediment was just pushing it too far and getting on my nerve. Bob was absolutely right about this being the Oscar-bait. Still liked it though, and Firth's performance.
