So, about the Oscars...
What a shame Tangled didn't get that: I hadn't really heard the others songs, but I See The Light was easily the best one in that mix. Nice for Newman, but it seems like they're trying to make up for not awarding him multiple times in the past. I thought he did deserve it more for his Toy Story 3 song than for Monsters, though, but neither song really beat anything in Tangled in terms of not being anything off the Newman conveyor belt (great as he can be).

At least we can all agree "I See the Light" was better than "We Belong Together". Though either of the two other songs winning wouldn't have bothered me nearly as much.
I still think Tangled should have also at least been nominated for Best Animated Feature, and heck, replace Toy Story 3 as the animated Best Picture nomination.

I'm in the camp that thought I See The Light should be winning the Oscar BEFORE the ceremony. After seeing the 4 songs performed I really wanted it to win. It was easily the only song that when performed outside of the movie, still helped tell the story of some part of the film. It was very telling that I See The Light was the only nominee that didn't rely on random scenes from the movie to support the performance (I'll admit I'm hazy on Country Strong's presentation). All Mandy and Zach got were the pretty lanterns, which showed, for me anyway, that this was the best original song out of them all. That it really wasn't a song that could be swapped for any random movie.
We Belong Together is an enjoyable song, but it could play over the credits of ANY Pixar movie.
