Last night at the Oscars, Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis presented the awards for Best Animated Short and Best Animated Feature. As part of their banter, Mila said the backdrop wasn't right for the segment because, "It's not even animated."
Except it was animated. It wasn't character animation, but it was definitely motion graphics. See for yourself:
It struck me as being a bit of an FU to the team that did all of the animations and graphics on the backdrop and proscenium throughout the evening (which I thought were very well designed.) I was sort of waiting for the show to come back from the commercial with all of the titles and other graphics replaced by a text hastily written on a cue card with a magic marker.
The odd part was, the "It's not even animated" line was there to serve a joke about them changing the backdrop to an animated image from Shrek... which as far as I could tell on my TV wasn't animated at all. Maybe there was a slight breeze rusting the leaves in the trees, but watching at home, the Shrek background looked like a still image.
Anyway... Toy Story 3 for the win! Woo hoo!
