The book of love has music in it

So in the animated feature Oscar race, it's going to be the film that rehabilitated sadness vs. the film that made it a raison d'être. Charlie Kaufman again takes us on a weird, squirmy journey to the emptiness at the center of our lives, and makes us like it. I expect Inside Out to win, not because this isn't an excellent film but because the voters in this category aren't going to elevate such bleakness. It would be a lot more difficult choice in Best Picture, for which both films have cause to bemoan their snubs.
