Hey, "Wallace and Gromit" took best animated feature!!
Neat!! I read that a fire burnt down the studio where the Movie and other films made. Rather sad. Still I think the Oscar is somehow appropriate.

3. And rightly so... It's difficult to imagine the staggering amount of
talent, imagination, inventiveness and technical skill a film like that requires. (at least for me it is.)

Howl's was our family's pick. We were bummed it lost. It was a beautiful film.

7. And Peter Sallis was there, too.
Peter Sallis is the actor who provides the voice of Wallace. He's also famous for playing Norman Clegg in the British comedy Last of the Summer Wine.
