If I was an stupid empty minded teen who had to have the 'cool' games and saw on game with rainbow colored pinatas, or some game with the name of a popular rapper that had bulletproof on the cover, I'd probably go with the rapper game.

It is the single most deserved Academy Award given this year. All the other awards were surely earned, but none of them compare to how earned this award was!

Best Picture: Babel (yes, should be Departed)
Best Director: Babel (sorry Martin, I wish it was you)
Best Actor Leading: Forest Whitaker
Best Actor Supporting: Alan Arkin
Best Actress Leading: Helen Mirren
Best Actress Supporting: Abigail Breslin
Animated Feature: Cars (not that I saw it OR care :P )
Film Editing: Children of Men (should win, but probably won’t)

I threw in Film editing because of all the great movies that were nominated…and cuz I love Children of Men :(

Barnyard and Open Season *shudder* are also good examples, a film will come out and whether it was good or not, millions of children will see it. Then when they get home the parents will be asked to get the game and maybe 20% of them will, without a second thought. Reviews don't come into it and developers know this. Only the real gamers will read the reviews and base their decision upon them. I think games like Superman probably sell well because of the kids.

I remember over here in the UK years back "Rise of the Robots" staying at no'1 in the charts for weeks on the SNES and it was without doubt one of the worst games I've ever played. Viva is a fantastic game, part of the problem I think was they marketed it as a kids game(which it is anything but), thus skipping most of the 18-30's that actually buy games for themselves.

Is that all? Seems very few, but it has longevity so can sell over time without dating too easily I think. 50k? Is that all?

I wish they would have done more for the 3rd and 4th movie though. Seems like they just took care of the first two really well, and then threw in the last two as "whatever".

The movie is awesome and he is undoubtedly brilliant, but you will probably NEVER see a comedy or horror film get the awards by the esteemed Academy. I would love to hear, "..and the Oscar goes to...that guy in the Jason Mask!" I don't think it will happen; not unless Jason Vorhees breaks out into a stunning Aria and Interpretive dance. Sorry Sacha...not in the cards this time. Much Respect to Sacha Baren Cohen.
