This was the first pleasant surprise of the evening. I was almost certain that Di$ney was trying to sabotage its chances.

This was a pleasant surprise. This ensures that Disney will push the home video release, and now a lot of kids (and adults) will get a chance to see this great movie.

I am so glad this won, none of the other movies in the category even compared. Spirited Away should have been nominated for best picture as well, but at least it won something and Miyazaki got an oscar he so deserves.

Yay - the ONLY picture I would have accepted as an alternative was Lilo & Stitch.
But I'm glad Spirited Away won. Was there anything neat about the presentation?

I'm glad that Spirited Away won but I was really disappointed that Miyazaki wasn't there to accept it because I was curious to see what he looks like (altho I'm going to look up his picture on the net right now)

I didn't even watch the Oscars, but my ten-year-old son ran in all excited, "Spirited Away Won!"
I had made him go see it in the theaters even though he was doubtful and he absolutely loved it.
The US DVD release is soon, April 15, I think - we have pre-ordered it.

Yeah! I'm glad I saw it at the theaters. I did make a booboo of ordering the Miyazaki DVD set with Die Another Day to get a good deal with coupons from Amazon with free shipping. Hope they choose to send the Miyazaki set early and not wait until June when DAD comes out!

Am seeing rumours already of a new theatrical run for it and a delay in the DVD release. Maybe I wasn't doing such a bad thing ordering the Miyazaki set from Amazon with Die Another Day after all.

It's only too bad that Buena Vista/Disney couldn't have seen fit to give it a decent promotion/release effort the first time around so that there wouldn't be as much pressure to delay the release of the DVD... We already had to have Princess Mononoke delayed...

In fact, if Disney is thinking of promoting this movie on DVD they now have a chance to paste the "Winner, Best Animated Feature Oscar" tagline to it.
And everyone is right...the distribution was bad on this movie. I was lucky enough to see it in theaters and will be right there to pick up the DVD.

Damn. I'd rather have any of the others win. I hated Spirited Away. Plot just sort of rambled around. I admit the art was nice but boring I almost fell asleep because it was so boring. Was pretty much a Japanese Alice in Wonderland.
