...award for Best Animated Feature, DreamWorks got the first one, for Shrek. Since then, Katzenberg's homegrown product has been shut out (the studio distributed Nick Park's veddy English Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit), while Pixar has won four: Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille and WALL-E. "Each year I do one DreamWorks project," actor Jack Black told the crowd at this year's ceremony, "then I take all the money to the Oscars and bet it on Pixar." But in the court of public opinion, where people vote with their money, DreamWorks is the champ...
...ingenuity in its premise and the ingratiating voice cast, the movie works better as a sci-fi action picture - with some extraterrestrial vistas that come close to WALL-E's in their palette and precision - than as a comedy.

Recently it was as low as $5. Wall St. expects that the situation at the firm is going to get worse. The other large outsourcing operation in India, Infosys (INFY), is also doing poorly...
...once we get to the actual buying of what Treasury is gingerly calling "legacy assets" (I'm hoping for a public-service ad campaign with the slogan "It's not toxic, it's a legacy"), things may shake out much differently from what Wall Street hopes and Krugman & Co. fear. Both sides in the debate seem to expect that the asset purchases will provide nothing but benefits to the banks that sell. That's not a safe assumption. We don't yet know what private investors will be willing to pay for those once-thought-to-be-valuable legacies. With...
