As a computer animator..I can already sort of predict whats going to happen....
The commitee is going to look at Monsters as just being another "pixar" movie..thinking nothing ground breaking came from it. This is FAAAAAAAAAAAR from true. Technically speaking, it pushed my industry to new levels and prooved that they can still be innovators in the field they helped invent.
Now..they are going to look at shrek...and see it as being a GENIUS parody of other cartoons. See it as being "witty", and then see the pretty Dreamworks logo (They just LOVE kissing their butt), and pretty much declair them the winner without looking at it from the perspective they SHOULD be....
O well....
