Oscars 2010 – Short Film (Animated): Logorama Plasters Itself with Oscar Logo

Caught Logorama at Sundance and when I heard the noms I thought there is no way that this could win – the expletive language is simply too harsh for sensitive ears. Wallace & Gromit felt like an accomplished, polished production – but Logorama gets great grades for originality.
