Viva Cliff Clavin! With _Toy Story 3_’s win, John Ratzenberger now joins William Holden & Gregory Peck as the actors with the most oscar-winning films to their credit, with 13 each. Next Pixar film or two, and he’ll probably break that record. ---

> [@salinqmind](#): > > Sweet cracker sandwich, this is one badly done awards show. They’ve honed the awkward banter to a razor edge. Why would they decide against having hosts who are used to perfoming live in front of an audience? James Franco and Anne Hathaway are lovely to look at but they really seem out of their element so far. ---

Screw Toy Story 3 to hell. Tangled was twice the animated film. ---

Justin Timberlake is always likeable. I’d still never buy any of his music, but he always seems like a pretty cool guy. ---

> [@MilTan](#): > > Lee Unkrich looks sorta like Ed Helms Not so much when you got a good look up on the stage. But, when he was hugging and kissing everyone around him I thought the same thing! “Why is he so excited? Did he do a voice?” I forgot about the Oscars and turned them on right when best animated was given out. I think that was good timing. I liked Toy Story 3 and think it is a well deserved win. ---

Those white jackets kind of take away from Brolin and Bardem’s manly man-ness. ---

_The Social Network_ really was a damned good screenplay. Terrific dialogue. Good win ---

King’s Speech for original screenplay? I would have said Inception. ---

Weird to have the Screenplay awards so early, but these were both pretty inevitable choices. ---

> [@El\_Kabong](#): > > King’s Speech for original screenplay? I would have said Inception. Me too, though I would have given every award to Inception this year. Best movie of the last few years, I think.
