Road to Oscar: Big Wins for Sunshine, Other Faves
With the Oscars just weeks away, some last-minute wins at other awards shows:
• Helen Mirren and Forest Whitaker earned top acting honors at Sunday's BAFTAs, aka the British Academy Awards.
• Little Miss Sunshine and The Departed (where's my DVD?!) were the big winners at Sunday's Writers Guild of America Awards, in the original- and adapted-screenplay contests, respectively.
• Cars was named best animated feature at the 34th-annual Annie Awards, but Flushed Away (aka the "mouse got flushed down the toilet movie," which my sons are dying to see... on DVD) came away with the most wins: five.

Matt - I wasn't excited about Flushed Away, but it was pretty entertaining. Pop some popcorn, put your feet up and enjoy!

It's got to be funnier than Happy Feet, am I right?

Significantly better than Happy Feet (which I had been looking forward to). I really didn't want to take my son to this one, but was pleasantly suprised. Still some gross little boy humor, but much less than I expected and the movie was suprisingly witty.

Am I the only one who thought that Little Miss Sunshine was much ado about something that was only, just okay? It was a good movie, one of the best of the year, but I definitely didn't think it was or is Oscar-caliber.
