Though UP! was "up" for several awards last night, including a Best Picture nomination, it came away with two major awards:
First, it won for Best Animated Film.
Second, it won for Best Original Score (Michael Giacchino).
Not bad, in my opinion, for a movie about a guy who floats his house with helium balloons!
I felt that the opening sequence of UP!, where we follow Carl's and Ellie's lives together, was as powerful a piece of filmmaking as I've come across in recent years.
Then again, I can't say too much since I didn't see ANY of the other 9 Best Picture nominees.
Congrats to Pete Docter and to the entire Disney/Pixar staff who was associated with this film!
