We are finally settled in front of the Oscar telecast, but it is probably halfway over. They were just singing the song from Toy Story 3 and then from Tangled. (Toy Story 3, one of the few Oscar nominated films we saw this year. What a tear jerker.)

We spent the first part of the telecast in an Oscar-related pursuit – at the showing of several previously nominated, and some winners, of the animated category. Quite the range – from 1934 to 1981. Including a wide range of offerings. My favorite was one done in 1993 called Screen Play. Linked just before this on YouTube – worth the 11 minutes. It looks like a Japanese play with a revolving stage and screens moving to show passage of time, and included a narrator puppet/animation doing sign language.

And now back to our relatively warm house. The projectionist, our visitor, will not get home until the last two shows are done. And, unless he calls to request a ride, he will be walking. (Not too far, and we really would not know when he was ready, unless he calls.)
