Up's Oscar campaign continued this past weekend with a full-page advertisment on the cover of trade journal The Hollywood Reporter (International Weekend Edition).Like the Daily Variety cover, this one also advertises Up as "the best reviewed film of the year", which of course it is, but doesn't focus on the well-known "Married Life" montage.

It sure could win an Oscar, it was depressing enough. To the point where I'll never watch it again.
What?
If you're not joking, and Up, a wonderfully heartfelt, moving and funny film, left you that depressed, than don't watch Precious. Which was very good, but very sad and dark.
Up wasn't depressing, it was uplifting!!
That's like saying you'll never watch Bambi again because the part where the hunter shoots his mom is too sad. It's sad, yes, but for some reason emotional movies are the kinds I end up rewatching a million times.
I think its a wonderfull movie, the best of the 2009.
Wow- the Trolls will show up just about anywhere I see. Oh, well, for the rest of us, we'll keep watching.
People is odd, Mike.
I can't believe what he said either.
No, I Wasn't joking.
Pixar was going for the emotional element. In this case the emotion is the hardest anybody has to deal with. Which is loss of a loved one. The mistake was putting it in the first act. The loss was all I kept thinking about through the entire movie, because I can relate to the lead character. My wife had the same problem with it, she was crying through the whole movie.
Which was my first point, really heavy emotional movies win Oscars.
If it's the best reviewed film of the year, put it up for Best Picture, not Best Animated.

I see your point, but at least they didn't put death in the third act and ruin the ending.
Think about it.
