Good to see that the Cove won this year. Great documentary that brought awareness to a barbaric and unnecessary slaughter of dolphins. I never heard if they actually stopped the slaughter entirely, but I hope it has had the desired effect.

Congratulations! What a brave undertaking and amazing job shedding light on one of the great atrocities that the Japanese commit in the world's oceans.

Food Inc. was more relevant to our detached behavior towards food and how it has gone into the greedy hands of big corporate/governmental lobbyists controlling our food supply.

The Cove is an important, but how would we like it if Japanese film makers/protestors were to come to the U.S. and film our horrible treatment of animals in slaughter houses? Does it make it right to kill innocent dolphins? NO! But, the Cove is just a glimpse into how pathetic and hypocritical humans have become towards nature.

Documentaries are kicking some serious butt these days! More should be awarded and given recognition instead of washed up actors who are put on pedestals of "god like seniority" by media conglomerates!

As most years, I watched the Oscars distractedly, not really caring for the rich and the mighty, the entertainments of millions. The real issues, the real problems are rooted in the soul, in the heart that is not caring enough. Injustices and abuses towards all living beings continue through apathy. And then: The Cove won best documentary!!!! A dirty secret is exposed to the world! They risked their lives to make this documentary, and I could not be happier that they are acclaimed for it! There is maybe hope, after all!

I can't think of a more deserving film! The slaughter of the dolphins, Japan's dirty little secret must end today. The Cove is just the beginning.
