Seriously. This is such a waste of time. Not that I'd rather hear people thank their agents, lawyers, agent's lawyers and lawyer's agents, but this is just dumb.

The old man's dead wife in UP was a robot. How did you miss that when you saw the movie?

Yay for Up. My favorite movie of the year.

(I'm biased since my kids love it and I love to watch it with them)

You know how they could have solved the "Best Song" performances going on too long? Divide the stage into three sections; spotlight one section, have a minute long performance without all the theatrics, move on to the next song in a similar fashion. You could easily fit something like that in the same time frame of this stupid dance portion.

Giacchino must have heard the feedback and thought "Smoke Monster!"

I would love to see Avatar lose here. Great SFX, but District 9's were far more seamless.

And from Nikki Finke's blog, here's why we got the dance number:

"This dumbass dance number replaced having singers warble their songs. Blame Adam Shankman, who's a choreographer and judge on So You Think You Can Dance."
