The title should be a “Link of the Day,” but for Wakatsuki it’ll have to do.
Today’s link shows you how awesome a group Nogizaka46 is. Why? Because it describes the graduation of one of the members in nice detail. You’re almost there.

Should there be a Best Animated Film category in the Academy Awards? I've think I've read many blog posts about this subject. Does a separate category devoted to a different medium detract from the concept of "best film?" The expanded field of films for Best Picture works fine in bringing in a nomination for an animated film as Toy Story 3 received one last year. Plus, the Academy got rid of the Best Black & White Cinematography and collapsed this particular tradecraft into one category for all films so there is a precedent.A look at this year's nominees highlight a weak bunch of films. Without Pixar, the category shows its weakness. After all, to be nominated for an Academy Award is to be recognized for some level of greatness that transcends time and place, and these nominees don't do that. It's like they are good relative to each other, but not great relative to the medium as a whole.So, should the Academy give up on the animated films category hoping that a reward of a best picture nod in the expanded field is good enough. Are there instances of animated films that can win against live action?

Oscar nominations were out this morning. Boat loads of things to say about it. I like this take from the NY Times (http://carpetbagger.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/25/whom-will-oscar-friend/). Here's the actual list from the actual Academy (http://www.oscars.org/awards/academyawards/83/nominees.html).Firing up GoogleDocs for the fourth annual BrowserMetrics Oscar Pool.Consider this an open thread to discuss movies.
I’ll second that notion that if you want your 100 nazi scalps, then head on over to Nazi Scalps @ One Little Seedling.

Here’s a new search engine. What?! You use something other than google? Is there anything else besides google? I mean my statcounter when I check the search engine references are nothing but google. Maybe there’s a stray AOL and a technorati search, but it’s 100% google 99.98% of the time.
Ghostbot is done by an animator. I just like the name.
